I like my black metal raw but this album goes a bit too far: The music is pretty great but it seems to have been recorded with a cheap mic across a wall, especially the drums. 😂
Why would you do this to a perfectly fine symphonic BM album? What do you think?

Below-average melodic black metal but that green-tinted cover is a curious color pick for the genre.
Bloodthorn 🇳🇴 - In the Shadow of Your Black Wings (1997)

And on the topic of Moonspell, what a good use of his voice Fernando Ribeiro makes in Wolfheart (1995). Amazing how he manages to give so much personality to an otherwise pretty good gothic metal album.

Like the austrian Sachertorte, Summoning 🇦🇹 perfected the art of layering rhythms and melodies to create atmospheres not made of sweet chocolate but of bitter yearning and doom in their middle-earth inspired music.
Stronghold (1999) is a masterpiece.

Never forget how cool Moonspell's first demo Anno Satanæ (1993) sounds. It's blissful to listen to such ingenuous, intense and energetic music. 🇵🇹

Today's archeological finding is dedicated to Thule, the Icelandic black metal pioneers that released a handful of interesting demos in the mid 90's before changing names and continuing their blasphemies as the (less exciting) Curse.

There’s a whole universe of Russian/Ukrainian bands we miss out on in the West due to language/cultural barriers.
Pagan Reign 🇷🇺 is one of them: extremely well done folk-black metal with top-tier musicianship.

“Power And Will” is the art of doing more with less.
Impressive debut from Mgła, a band that started as worthy imitators of Darkthrone and went on to develop their own sound not long after.

I'm not the biggest Marduk fan but this album is very enjoyable for what it is.
It's greatest virtue might be its extreme focus: 32 minutes of solid material instead of 50+ minutes of filler. More bands should take note!
Marduk 🇸🇪 - Viktoria (2018)

First listen: What a strange sounding album. Second listen: What a masterpiece.
It reminds me of 'Hvis Lyset Tar Oss' turned upside down: complex, airy and beautiful but also bold and inspired.
