That cover. The silver gate. Those riffs. That cover. Open the silver gate. Open it. Those riffs. Dark Fortress may have recently disbanded but their under-appreciated sound and albums are most definitely here to stay.

Eidolon might not be their most-rounded album yet it is their most hypnotic offering, The intensity of the songs is only rivaled by the groove of these same songs.

Discover - or re-discover - one of the foundamental bands in melodic black metal history.

Black metal that somehow sound classic and catchy at the same time. Focus is on melodic, distorted riffing, similar in spirit to Dark Funeral. Fantastic.

One of my all time favorite black metal albums. I love the atmosphere and riffage!

I think about life
And I think about death
And neither one particularly appeals to me
