2002-10-17 : Decadent Death
This album is absolutely outstanding. Imagine the suicidal grandeur of early Bethlehem, tempered by a more traditional somber black metal sound which at times invokes the spirit of Dissection, Darkthrone, or early Mayhem (due in no small part to the always excellent drumwork of Hellhammer), without sounding at all derivative of the aforementioned bands. A truly amazing work, infused with a feeling of darkness that is oppressively palpable, and completely convincing. If you're thinking of ending your life, make this album your soundtrack of self-annihilation.
