Not your classic Heavy Metal band, or album whatsoever, but this album is a cornerstone  in what black metal represents and is all about, is a minimalistic, raw, dark,evil,cold, simple yet effective in projecting malificense, uncountable copycats norwegian black metal bands tried to emulate this sound and to capture his aura, almost all failed, today the bands is oriented into a more black/punk metal sound,  a crust/speed satanic and rock and roll oriented metal if you prefere, what is still of my like.
