Album Notes & Community Reviews

The notorious Norwegian provocateurs infuse their grim, traditional black metal sound with highly prominent, surprisingly melodic symphonic keyboard arrangements. While maintaining their misanthropic lyrical focus and sleazy rock-and-roll swagger, the grandiose production values elevate the music to an unexpected level of theatricality. It stands as one of the band's most musically ambitious and widely recognized releases.
