Vikingligr Veldi is far FAR FAR more engaging and immersing an album than In The Nightside Eclipse.
I just kind of discovered Blut aus Nord's Memoria Vetusta 1.
I bought it like a year ago and first discarded it because i thought that it is a blatant Ripoff of early Enslaved.
Now i am thinking that it is nevertheless some of the most beautifull music i have listened too. The melodies and riffs are so evocative and hypnotic and the atmospheres so immersive that i can look over the rather lacking originality.
I still wonder how nobody in the reviews i read ever noticed this and how some even explicitly praise the originality of the album.
On the topic of Enslaved, how's Mardraum?
EDIT: The best Darkthrone, by the way, is Under A Funeral Moon by a long shot, with A Blaze in the Northern Sky as a very close second.
this is contradictory as fuck but i'll run with it, or at least the part about UAFM being the best darkthrone
I love it. Keep in mind, however, that it's not typical black metal by any means, if it's even black metal at all. They employ a lot of death metal, and there's also something resembling a psychedelic influence on certain tracks, not unlike what Nachtmystium did on Instinict: Decay. It's cinematic as fuck, though, and it's also probably my favorite Enslaved album. Highest possible recommendation.
The Enslaved I'll probably get first is Eld.
