1997's Witchcraft is a challenging album to follow up with its cult status as one of the greatest black metal releases owing to its complex compositions and intricate orchestration. Yet Obtained Enslavement have done it, as Soulblight is a very different release but it maintains the quality and musicianship the band made themselves known for with Witchcraft. This release discards the openness and mystique of the orchestral arrangements in place of a more guitar and drum-oriented sound, but this works for the much darker and aggressive tone of Soulblight.
Black metal evil in its intent yet majestic and epic in its final form. Classic!
