Tracklist

Black metal is an extreme subgenre of heavy metal music. Common traits include fast tempos, a shrieking vocal style, heavily distorted guitars played with tremolo picking, raw (lo-fi) recording, unconventional song structures, and an emphasis on atmosphere. Artists often appear in corpse paint and adopt pseudonyms. During the 1980s, several thrash metal and death metal bands formed a prototype for black metal.

Black metal steadily gained awareness in Norway during these next few years as several of the scene's members would be involved in the wave of church burnings that plagued the country among other criminal and infamous activities. Naturally, the exposure only brought more interest in this new movement, which now had a menacing reputation and a layer of mystery as most bands wore corpsepaint onstage and in photos.

I’ve been involved in underground black metal for well over twenty years now. I find a lot of meaning and value in its tradition and aesthetics, the mystery and spirituality behind much of its core values. But, like everything, the inability to find humor in the darker corners and crevices denotes a lack of emotional depth.

My favourite black metal album by my favourite black metal band. It has great production, fantastic riffs, awesome lyrics. 10 Blood Fire Death - Bathory. there is no way to describe this masterpiece. so great, so brutal and so beautiful at the same time.
