This is the epitome of what black metal should sound like, frozen and necrotic with a relentless obsession with the infernal. Truthfully the best song on this album is Corpse-Altar-Light, which features a mind bending vocal performance as part of this distinct hellish "chorus", something I discovered whilst peaking on a potent LSD trip with some friends. Warloghe hails from Finland, formed in 1995, this cd was initially released as 333 hand numbered limited edition copies in 2003. The album as a whole is just brimming with Satanic attitude, and everything from the riffs, the drums, and vocals are spot on in terms of nocturnal atmosphere. I don't normally say this, but this album is essential, and absolutely mandatory. Most black metal bands wish they could be this cold, this is grim black metal perfection, Satan would be pleased.
