Son's of Northern Darkness

Been listening to this a lot as of late. Now READ and UNDERSTAND this; In my Opinion(did you get that) I'll say it again "In my Opinion." This record, simply put is, CRUSHING. Like a Viking hammer to the skull. Fron the first note to the last, Immortal does'nt ease up a bit. Abbath's guitar is like sonic razors and Horgh's drumming will pummel you into complete submission. For this style of music, I don't know if any band does it better. In the heart of Immortal beats "heavy" metal. Although, SOND has a black metal atmosphere. Discuss.

Yeah, it's a great album, but for their later stuff, At the Heart of Winter is their best in my opinion. Beyond the North Waves is fucking epic and I love In My Kingdom Cold.

Excellent album, ''Tyrants'' owns.

Despite being unintentionally (...?) hilarious, Immortal are excellent. Older albums are great too, of course, but SOND was definitely their tightest and best-sounding output. The title track is brutal, I love it, heh.

BTW, Immortal does sound a whole lot better when you listen to them in a snowstorm.

It's better than AtHoW, which is pretty overrated, but nowhere near Pure Holocaust.

arzachel · August 11th, 2006, 09:30 PM

mediocre album imo, Holocaust and ATHOW are their best
