4.5 superbazucarnegra | September 24th 10

Another great record by Watain. Refined black metal of highest quality. Recommended!

4.0 excellentRisodo | May 20th 18

Watain is a band well despised by the fan base of Sputnik and other sites, precisely because it has a sound without salt and very generic. But it seems like this is a poorly placed judgment. "Lawless Darkness" is a fun work and it takes a while to get bored. My soundoff does not try to do justice to this band, but there are much more reputable bands like Mayhem and Gorgoroth, who have done much more pitiful work. But life is this, each with your opinion.

3.3 greatErwann S. EMERITUS | January 18th 24

In terms of by-the-numbers and generic black metal this is aight thanks to kinda cool riffs.

Bump

4.0 excellentMortisanti | May 1st 15

I almost considered giving this album a 4.5 solely because of "Waters Of Ain" (that song, all
wrapped together, is a masterpiece), but I didn't want to be too subjective.

So some people seem to have a problem with a repetitive and one-dimensional black metal album that mimics the sounds of the bands that served as their biggest influence. Well surprise, it's black metal and Lawless Darkness puts greats strengths of the genre on display.

Bump

3.5 greatStaker | April 10th 11

Well recorded, powerful, intense, relentless. The tracks all have different identities and qualities. Check it.

4.5 superb05McDonaldT | March 13th 11

Why is everybody so cynical of this band on here. This is a black metal album of the kind of quality that it could have been released at the peak of the scandanavian scene in the 90s. Straight up black metal done better than it's being done by anyone else. An epic journey through all sorts of evil realms

'Waters of Ain' is a giant, can listen to this track all day! Working on writing a review for this. Surprised this hasn't been reviewed.

2.0 poorwyankeif1337 | December 31st 10

So this really isn't very good at all... Just really boring.

Bump

0.0 Bitchfork | November 27th 10

Okay so this just went from generic to boring, uninspired and generic.

Bump

1.5 very poorDarkNoctus | October 31st 10

blahhhhh been there done that. Honestly, after like 3 listens I can't find anything redeemable from this album at all. It just made me want to listen to bands who do it better.
