Review

The music itself is just breath-taking and probably one of the prime albums of Black Metal, the atmosphere that is embodied by Black Metal has rarely been captured this good. It is especially "Funeral Fog" that appeals to me, but as it is with most of the works of this class, it is only as a whole that it works really well. Nothing is out of place here really, everything fits perfectly. - 5/5
