Also there's a reason Shagrath became the lead vocalist lol, dude has so much personality in his voice. Up there with Abbath when it comes to establishing a character.

i gotta slap this onto my ipod and then give their discography a spin. are these guys foundational or should i listen to another band prior to this?

I dont know if I would say they're foundational but they are definitely the black metal band that popularized symphonic black metal. People might say emperor but I think they're totally different bands and emperor isnt really THAT symphonic

i consider enthrone darkness triumphant essential listening if you are interested in black metal. its the platonic ideal of a symphonic black metal album.
