The songs are very simple (that does not mean bad), for example "The Oath of Black Blood." Of course the production does not help here, but when Nuclear Holocausto starts screaming?man I swear he will take the shit out of you. His vocals are in a good way very scary, and oddly structured, but this only sets a grim atmosphere to this song. The riffs are very good (it's difficult to appreciate them clearly though) and the bass playing is insanely low and tremulous which is also a very good thing. The point is that all of those elements make "The Oath of Black Blood" different to other black metal albums, in fact this album gives birth to what we know as "Drone" Black Metal, the most violent and untamed Black Metal Ramification.
Every song is unbelievable, the first 7 songs are just breathtaking, those songs are like a huge drill penetrating in your forehead with no mercy, a mixture of brutality and a grim atmosphere. The album manages to flow easily, the best thing is that every time you hear this album you'll discover a "new" incredible thing in it, believe me.
This album deserves to be catalogued as a "cult" album, the music sometimes is repetitive and simplistic but mysteriously in a very good and unusual way, this album is the pioneer of every other Black Metal band with raw production and hellish vocals, a masterpiece that we all should have in our collection, one of the bests Black Metal Albums ever released (along with Drawing Down The Moon, and some others).
