If you can cut through the sheer wall of white noise, you will find one of Sweden's most consistent black metal one man show's at the peak of his art. A blizzard of an album, individual songs are not as important as creating an occult atmosphere. Folk elements are applied here and there, but the most astonishing thing about this album is the use of clean, almost monk-like vocals, endowing the music with a pagan sensibility. Other than the folk, you will not find alot if intricacy in the music, as the riffs are purely Emperor and Darkthrone derived. This is a very raw, yet forward thinking album, revolutionary for its time. Best song is Skoghens Minnen Vækks.
Rating: 8.5 out of 10
