Song Title Time Price Visit our audio page for more information This is not a new Dark Funeral album but it is their legendary debut-EP, spiced up with two cool cover-songs (Bathory songs to be precise). All in all recordings as legendary and classic as Darkthrone's "A Blaze in the Northern Sky" or Mayhem's "Deathcrush". This spiky mini-album uncommonly uses strong reverb on the vocals - possibly heresy, but I think it sounds good that way. The actual voice is quite tortured and not so pleasant. The playing is not Meshuggah tight, but still pretty good. And, the sound quality is a little soft. A remaster might give it more punch, even accounting for the Black thing of narrowly chiseled frequencies, little bass and a lack of dynamic range. But in spite of all this grumbling, I'd say this still hits on all cylinders. It's the rare Black Metal that isn't obnoxiously repetitive or self-defeatingly lo-fi. These guys do something (slightly) different in a good way. But note the short run time!
