brutaldeath666 Darkthrone truly show what real black metal is suppose to sound like. Favorite track: Paragon Belial.

Fusarium An archetypal BM album

Püttkieker At the moment of its release this album was a revelation - so different from its predecessor, but oh boy what an atmosphere! My favorite Black Metal Album of all time even though this album marks Darkthrone's transition from Death Metal to Black Metal. Musically this album sits somewhere in between, but to me it is Black Metal pure and simple. Favorite track: Kathaarian Life Code.

about

’A Blaze In The Northern Sky’, Darkthrone's second album, was originally released in 1992 and was without question the blueprint release for the Black Metal scene, spearheading the evolution of the early second wave movement in Norway & beyond. It was hailed on release as an album of true scene-shifting greatness, following their more death metal centered debut, ’Soulside Journey’.

This special edition of ‘A Blaze in the Northern Sky’ marked 20 years since the album’s original release, & contains an additional version of the album featuring Fenriz talking about his memories & recollections of the album’s construction as the music plays in the background.

This is about as good as OSDM gets, to be honest. Blood Incantation are quickly building a pretty flawless discography of modern classics and every release just improves and evolves their sound. Stellar stuff (literally). Colin Kauffman

The Best Batushka album so far. A Black Metal Classic!!! There are few albums that I can listen to from start to finish without skipping a track and this is on the top of the list. You almost have to listen to the album as a whole. Do yourself a favor and buy this album The true follow up to this album is Krzysztof Drabikowski Панихида (Panihida). Bart's Раскол / Raskol EP is also a good follow up to this album as well just not as close as Panihida sounds. 10/10 ChrestusV
