Blut aus Nord - Memoria Vetusta I: Fathers of the Icy Age [1997]
Blut aus Nord have transcended the realms of the average black metal album and diversified the musical scene with this avant-garde release. Combining elements of typical raw black metal vocals as well as enticing chants, buzzing riffs and occasional synth melodies to create this empowering atmospheric feel. When I listen to this, I feel like I am in a ancient cult dungeon, deep in the heart of the cold earth, surrounded by candles and men in robes. Not only does this album create an eerie depth, it also evokes this friendly nature and intricate beauty, which is compelling to anyone first sampling this band. As well as to anyone starting out with the black metal genre.
