Rating: - BATTLE METAL CLASSIC!
Great 1996 album, with a real medieval feel! Absoluteley, totally heavy with a real focus on battles and the Apocalypse.
Production is strong and it's a full on assault of riffs & drums that batter into submission. Satyr's vocals are brutal, and yet always easy to understand. The album has some of THE best use of keyboards within Black Metal, on classics such as Mother North. And there's plenty of clear, audible bass guitar as well, to back up the insaneley heavy guitar work.

Rating: - Nemesis Divina
Upon purchasing this album i had only heard the Satyricon album (Now, Diabolical) so i was sceptical as to what to expect given that it is one of their earlier albums and black metal production values can be less than brilliant.

The album is full of rich layers of guitar, fantastic vocals and completely amazing lyrics. Not to mention the outstanding drumming of Frost ... Read More

This is my favourite Satyricon album. The tunes and vocals are brutal, but very complex and melodic at the same time. This album is worth buying for "Mother North" alone - a masterpiece which conveys the powerful image of vikings sailing forth. A clasic of black metal.
Rating: - Black Metal Hell
This is by far my favourite album of all time. It combines harsh black metal elements along with melodic and medieval splender. Frost's drumming is spectacular and Satyr's vast musical talent and spot on vocals make this one of the all time classics!
