Slagged by some, but in my opinion a fantastic album boasting some of the coldest music Black Metal has in it's repertoire.



Features, vocally, the thinnest and sharpest sound from Abbath ever recorded imo.

I'm pretty sure Hellhammer did the drumming on this record (he was in the video for Grim and Frostbitten Kingdoms). Nevertheless, I find the drumming on this record to be excellent... not so much technically, but rather it "coats" the music beautifully, providing a blasted sheet of snow over an already nice cold production.

An album which perfectly conveys Demonaz's vision of their fantasy kingdom of Blashyrkh.

A great, and underrated album.
