[@bennievargas2673]

That opening riff for cosmic keys is pretty much unbeatable

[@gaige8205]

one of the greatest black metal ep's of all time

[@LordNibavas]

The cover is an engraving by French artist Gustave Doré.

[@crazydavec3861]

Indeed "Death on a Pale Horse" 1865. I didn't know that before but I dug around and found it... cheers for the tip! :)

[@stolenhal0]

I am a huge fan of that artist.

[@Dubbag]

I have a drawing of Dante and Virgil above my couch in my living room that's by him.

[@oliverphilippe4703]

LordNIBAVAS the art first appeared on a skinny puppy ep stupid asshole

[@hmmr_]

@@oliverphilippe4703 Both EPs are from the same year and Doré's work is public domain. So who gives a fuck? Every cliché metal band uses them now, so why give a shit?

[@nox-apsirk]

This is THE album that got me into black metal the 1st time I heard it nearly 20years ago - still is Amazing

[@mrmann44]

That and Marduk's Panzer Division were my first 2 black metal album, both totally hold up!

[@homebakedgoodies]

On par with Bathory's Hammerheart, both brutal, brilliant, inspired by spirit

[@current81]

One of the best EP's ever.

[@kamdibober]

***** Enslaved ep is better

[@current81]

Ilona Shundik No. But it's a matter of taste. That EP isn't bad either.

[@MeAndMyShadowBand]

which one?

[@MeAndMyShadowBand]

Debt Stalker yggdrassil is still one of my favorites to this day.

[@MeAndMyShadowBand]

Debt Stalker every song on that record has a great memorable riff too. I think they made something that also managed to be catchy without even trying.

[@NomadicDave2032]

Imo…this is black metal in its purest form. Been listening since this came out, friend had some live tape recordings he managed on a mini recorder from a show…so when this came out I went and bought a copy the day of the drop man.

[@911copcar]

Ihsahn is 16 years old when they record this

[@Weonlyknewoneway]

We are capable of so much creativity when we are young because our imaginations are still so powerful... which is why social media and video games are so destructive. Gotta use your imagination, read books,get outside, less talking more walking... understand?....

Emperor's best record

[@tonycolocks4511]

Hey that's the guys opinion!!! I'm with ya Elëctric Elf!

[@b.schmidt3701]

I agree. This is stripped down and barren sounding. It is more true to Second Wave Black metal.Their other releases like Nightside Eclipse are way too reverb heavy and too "big" sounding.

[@erichbumm2758]

@@b.schmidt3701 Man you bros are so KVLT! We get it! But did they ever give a fuck about being "True to the second wave?" Maybe, maybe not, maybe you can tell me, but the barren sound of this and the Edvard Grieg Hall recording of Eclipse have their own merits.

[@b.schmidt3701]

@@erichbumm2758 Have you ever checked out Ulvers "Nattens Madrigal" album? That has got to be the harshest, treble-heavy recording I have ever heard. And after a few listens, you realize what a masterpiece that album truly is.

[@jonirissanen3038]

Jep tämä on klassikko. Levyn tunnelma,ilmapiiri , instrumentit, vokaalit huokuu pahuutta,mustaa noituutta, edelleen tämä levy saa aikaan sen saman fiiliksen mitä se sai minussa teininä ysärillä. Ja se kaikki mystinen tunnelma myös on edelleen olemassa, kun tätä kuuntelee. Nightside eclipse on myös loistava albumi, mutta jotenkin tällä albumilla se pahuus ja kaikki on onnistuttu loihtimaan paljon täydellisemmin.
