Pandemonic Requiem was my first melodic black metal experience. I had no idea what to expect but once when I started to listen I was hooked. It was just like regular black metal. Tremolo riffs and picking, blast-beat drumming and shrieking vocals but… The music was unusually technical; it was also very melodic and atmospheric as well. The mix between the cold unpleasant black metal and the melodic and soothing elements was superb. Even if there were some glitches in the music and the sound production I still thought that the album had a unique style of its own. If you are looking for some non-repetitive, melodic and not overly satanic black metal then I suggest that you get Pandemonic Requiem.
