NorthwoodsBrewer502 When this album came out, it was on constant play for a while around my house. I loved it. It was like it picked up where Prometheus left off but with Asgeir mickelson , one of my favorite drummers behind the kit and heavy doses of mercyful fate and a touch of king crimson . Now all these years later, upon revisiting the album with fresh ears, I’m reminded of it’s brilliance. Brilliant progressive, blackened heavy metal.

gorehate ihsahn is the master of brutalising you and tending to your wounds Favorite track: Citizen.

Leo Nordmann Fucking crazy music!!!
This got me back into metal when I was mostly listening to electro for the past years <3 Favorite track: Panem Et Circenses.

execute_epicurus Ihsahn first solo album picks up where Emperor left off. With obvious influences from NWBHM artists, like Judas Priest, this debut album is a progressive black metal tribute to classic metal. Yet it is also the most theatrical album Ihsahn has recorded. Favorite track: And He Shall Walk In Empty Places.

Litourgiya
by Batushka

supported by 26 fans who also own “The Adversary”

Литоургиiа réussit l'impensable : faire entrer le black metal dans l'église orthodoxe. S'il y a une dimension dramaturgique (indissociable de tout office religieux), Литоургиiа reste profond, solennel et touche le sublime. Après la sortie de cet album a lieu un Grand Schisme et un larcin : Христофор se fait dépouiller de son propre groupe par Барфоломей et Мартин ; tout ce qui reste ici provient de ces deux hérétiques.

Exercises in futility
by Mgła

supported by 25 fans who also own “The Adversary”

Mikolaj is a real multi-talent in bass as well as guitar as well as vocals and "Darkside" Maciej's drumming is a well-calibrated 100th-of-seconds-clockwork. Not for nothing is Mgla considered as a standard for a lot of other blacker-than-black metal bands. I hope to see this band live once..... grote_smurf

Панихида
by Krzysztof Drabikowski

supported by 21 fans who also own “The Adversary”

La traversée du désert n'aura pas duré quarante jours mais quatre longues années... Avec Панихида, Батюшка renaît enfin de ses cendres et, bien que désormais seul (ou plus exactement entouré de deux chanteurs), Христофор accomplit un miracle. Il s'inscrit dans la continuité de Литоургиiа avec un black metal orthodoxe qui nous convie ici à une cérémonie dédiée aux morts. Sa vision est englobante : les mélodies, la gravité et le silence font toucher le paradis ; l'agressivité est luciférienne. Jordan Vauvert
