The classic debut-record from Graveland, 1994!

This is the best of the early-era Graveland material for overall songwriting, atmosphere and the quality of musicianship. The intro is also one of the best, Darken is known for creating some of the coldest and most hateful keyboards passages in the black metal genre, and this is a prime example. The second track, Barbarism Returns, is a classic and my personal favorite. The keyboard breakdown ins simply jaw dropping in its epic majesty. Graveland can conjure the most intense atmospheres I have ever heard. In the Noerthern Carpathians is another classic track that applies some ice cold rythym guitar parts that Graveland were known for back in this era.

I highly recommend this album to all fans of true old-school black metal. This is some of the best polish black metal out there, and a must have for all Graveland-worshippers.
