The Other Side is highly recommended, and is actually one of the better black metal albums to emerge from Sweden during this period. For as good as it is, it's a little surprising that this recording is cited so rarely. As this was the first full-length to be recorded in Tägtgren's new studio, the sound is more clear and powerful than a fair amount of other black metal albums from this time; however, in late 1994 he had not yet 'perfected' his skills in making things sound overly slick and soulless, so the production is not a problem and suits this material just fine.

At any rate, this is essential for anyone into Swedish black metal. Whether you are a fan of their primary band, or just early just '90s Scandinavian black metal in general, be sure to give this a listen.
