Query: The "Emperor" of Black Metal.

This is the classic example of what Black Metal should be. This CD, and in fact Emperor as a whole, have defined Black Metal. This was before classy production and popular bands such as Dimmu Borgir and COF were selling huge amounts of albums. There is a cold brutality to this album, that is getting harder to find in metal these days. Thankfully some bands, such as Enslaved, Opeth or Dimmu Borgir are popular but still doing things right musically. For casual fans of Black Metal, this is a bit difficult to get into. But, this is one of the best, most brutal, and fastest Black Metal albums of them all. I encourage you to at least listen to it. If you are already a hardcore Black Metal fan, you should get this.
