Posted by carldhickman on
  • Nocturnal Obeisance – …atmospheric intro, chills the spine..
  • Massacre – …blistering Black Metal tour-de-force…
  • Women Of Dark Desires – …hypnotic Black Metal, clean chorus.ck “Women of dark desires…”
  • Call From The Grave – strange noises feature in intro, typical frost fronted screams…
  • Equimanthorn – …”Grant me the powers of thunder, And give me a sword forged in the raging Hell’s fire, Lend me the eight legged black stallion of Odin and I’ll have my vengeance, Oh, I’ll kill with desire”…
  • Enter The Eternal Fire – Venomesque in the use of melody and the thunderbass, a slower track…
  • Chariots Of Fire – …”Over the skyline, Approaching at high speed, Objects of flames reaching higher, Crossing the sky at Hell’s pace”…
  • 13 Candles – …”Born a child of the underworld, The fire and flame”…
  • Of Doom – …thunderous outgoing track…

“Down the vast hills in morning mist cold, Into the peaceful deep valley below.
Two thousand stallions foaming with hate, Carrying their masters towards their fate
Into the battle they ride, Two thousand men too young to die.
Massacre… “, Quorthon, Paul Lundberg…
