Black Metal.

[Hatebreeder]

No, Euronymous riffs is obviously THE thing about the album.

.

This album is often called generic by second wave purists, but I have yet to find an album with riffs that hypnotize in the unique way that this one does.

And Attila's vocals enhance the experience immensely, don't judge them too quickly.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Who the hell thinks De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas is generic?

 

[Evil?]

No one.

 

[cookiecutter]

By definition it is impossible for that to be generic

 

[DarkBliss]

Who the hell thinks De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas is generic?

The word you're looking for is "dated", maybe?

 

[~Derek~]

I'll get Dem Mysteriis Dom Sathanas eventually, but I've decided I'm probably going to order Ulver-Nattens Madrigal sometime this week. What do you all think of that album?

 

[The Ozzman]

YES GET IT

An intentionally studio knob twiddling "grim" production ruins the album's mystique for me.

Even so, I dont think it's that great. There are better ones out there.

 

[MasterOLightning]

I'm not too much of a fan of DMDS, but it's much more worthy of purchase than NM.

I enjoy the album. Not as good as Bergtatt, but enjoyable. If you do not have Bergtatt, get that first.

I might have to get Bergtatt then. I really enjoy Nattens.

 

[Evil?]

Get it for sure. Bergtatt is amazing.

People say De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas is their best album, but that's not true.

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

It's actually Deathcrush.

 

[byrne]

incorrect. DMdS IS their best. in fact, its the best black metal release of all time.

 

[Zephyrus]

DMDS is their best, and in the top 5 most essential black metal albums of all time, but not quite the epitome I'd say. I'd put it at #3 after...

1. In the Nightside Eclipse
2. Under the Sign of the Black Mark
3. De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas
4. Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
5. Transilvanian Hunger

 

[Matt]

Eh, #2 definitely shouldn't be there and several albums could be substituted in like Beherit's DDtM.

 

[~Derek~]

^Wouldnt Filosofem be more essential than Hvis?

 

[Zephyrus]

No. HLTO is considerably better the rest of his material, including Filosofem.

 

[Alter]

Filosofem is the better.
