Before changing their name due to legal disputes, Jørn Tonsberg's Norwegian ensemble delivered an absolute masterpiece of pagan-infused black metal. The record brilliantly juxtaposes relentless, hyper-speed aggression with sweeping acoustic guitar interludes and soaring, heroic clean vocal passages, heavily defining the epic Viking metal aesthetic.
