#1311 Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse
Still got a lot of that Bathory goblin voice on here, but this is a richer, more sweeping take on black metal, full of backing washes of chords and choral whines. It thrashes batshit fast, sure, but it's less of a knifefight and more of a blood-soaked campaign of brooding revenge, cackled like skyward lightning from moon-cracked chasms, generating unease more than outright anxiety. Powerful stuff, if still not exactly my cup of tea 3/5
