This is almost like a better version of Bergtatt.

woah.... woah

Album Rating: 5.0

Well, it is. Better vocal performance from Garm. Better musicianship. Better riffs. Better atmosphere. It's mainly just a better, slightly more progressive Bergtatt.

I disagree

but you're the contributor so that means you win the argument anyway

Yeah, I know. You probably just weren't listening hard enough anyway.

Bergtatt is more cohesive

Album Rating: 5.0

Definitely don't agree with that. Don't think it's as consistent either. I mean, the first and last tracks are outstanding, but everything in between is decent to great.

guess it's just the fact that this album isn't about a girl being abducted by trolls and taken deep into the grim forest or something

bergtatt is the best

Nice bump. m/

Definitely. I've been jamming these guys and Arcturus all evening.

Album Rating: 4.5

This band and Arcturus both helped me get into bm. Still love them both.

turns out this was the first Black Metal band that I ever checked

That's cool. I would've figured Bergatt or Enslaved before these guys.
I don't think I discovered this until I had already got my feet frozen.

I just stumbled on these guys on spotily from what I recall

I was prepping for SAT's back in October and I was gonna put on some ambient Ulver, turns out I misclicked this band and thats how I got into Black Metal

That's not a bad introduction at all.
Mine was Blood Fire Death, but it wasn't until I got into the second gen bands that I fully got it.

That's like me. I hated Nattens (for example) when I first heard it because I wasn't into bm yet, now years later it's easily one

of my favs.
