yeah willie this thing rocks. its def too long but part of its charm is that they used every bit of that sony money.

and ive always appreciated the fact that they didnt go overboard with the orchestra on here. it never sounds as good as bands think it will (see death cult armageddon) and works a lot better for interludes and atmosphere.

plus this was the best production they ever had.

I love Death Cult Armageddon. If it's not my favorite Dimmu album, it's close. Ha ha.



I'd say it was Cradle's best production until this latest album.

Same man.



I don't agree at all on the production, but admittedly have always had shit ears. Nymphetamine, to me, sounds much better.

this was the last natural sounding production they had. everything after this has that modern metal sheen that I just don’t care for.

Absolute toss bound together by some of the greatest riffs of all time.

I’ll take it

I swear the production just seems awful to me until the drums in better to reign in hell hit.

I know there's others who have been saying this is underrated but goddamn, this is one of the more rewarding relistens in the discog.



It's spicy as all hell around here but I'll take this over Midian any day of the week.

I just think there's so much depth to it, such a journey, so much character and sounds so different from the rest of the discog. This does evil better than almost anything else they ever did.

Such an underrated album. I remember painstakingly pirating this track-by-track on my gf's shitty computer at 5kb/per second and assembling it so I could burn it on a CD. There's a hundred-piece orchestra on this fucking thing, totally crazy. This must have been so expensive to make. Hard to pick favourites but Better To Reign In Hell holds a special place
