    What an underrated album is this! I even see how many times people mentions Prometheus (that I don't like) but few speak of this magnificent work of art. It's the best produced album of them, everything can be heard clearly with an impactating energy. Wish Anthems...had this sound. Songs are a bit more death metal oriented, but still typical Emperor BM. I think this is at the same quality level that its predecesor, but strangely overlooked. It has not have the praise deserved, by any means. Don't get stuck in previous works in case you don't know this.

      This album took black metal to a level that remains unimpeached. Incorporating killer riffs, essence of theatrics, symphonics and power of the sheer talent of those putting it together, this release is an epic nexus between the old and new, that follows. Groundbreaking. Essential.
