Opera IX as a Black Metal band and are definatly one of the more unique bands in the scene that seem to go by unknown to most. Their 3rd full length album titled "The Black Opera: Symhoniae Mysteriorum in Laudem Tenebrarum" released in 2000 is quite simply a blessing to the ears. It consists of 6 tracks (separated into Acts) and one bonus track. I cannot really pick a fault in any of the first 6 songs. The riffing is an exquisite part of Opera IX, there are rhythm changes, surround sound (ie. Some guitar from one speaker, then switches to the other speaker) and crunchy riffs. The Keyboards haunt the music; they really have a great effect in mystifying the sound to an even darker level (you can hear what I mean at the very start of the album, as an example). The biggest bonus of this album is Cadaveria's wide vocal diversity, which ranges from extreme growling to clean singing, even to haunting shrieks. Read more ›› |

Obviously there were more members recommended their debut but this album got a higher score eventually. In my opinion, the debut is better.

This might be better than anything Cradle Of Filth have ever done.

Cadaveria at her best... The Black Opera is definitely one of the best black metal albums of all time for me. The riff for 'The First Seal' just hooked me from day 1 of listening to it, along with Cadaveria's vocals, and I never stopped... 24 years later...
