My gateway to black metal. Well, it's early Bathory so obviously it's atmospheric and while not that much of a sensation technically it definitely has its moments in terms of songwriting, most noticeably on Equimanthorn. Albums kinda drags sometimes though, would it have showcased a more varied collection of songs it would be well worth a 4.
In my opinion Quorthon's best record. My favourite tracks here are Enter the Eternal Fire and specially Woman of Dark Desires, his best song. Essential and extreme influential to the second wave of Black Metal.
