Nice, glad you liked it. I'd definitely say give it some more listens. Like most atmospheric music it grows on you with repeat listens.

You do realize we're expressing opinions on an internet metal forum, and that every one of your posts is equally covered in the same fallacies, I hope? What's your deal anyway, broseph?

I still dont get the hype of Mayhem at all.
Maybe I need to give DMDS another spin soon, but it honestly it hasnt clicked with me at all out of the several times Ive tried...

... some of the best riff-work of all time. I'm still not the biggest fan of Atilla, but i cant imagine the album with anyone else on vox.
No other black metal album comes off as vicious as DMDS.

You're the one who brought up logical fallacies in the first place. If you think they're par for the course on a metal forum, why did you bring them up at all? Are you a sophist or a dunce?

Mayhem destroys every other black metal band in existence. They managed to reinvent themselves with basically every release (haven't heard Wolf's Lair Abyss yet so no comment there) all the while keeping a high standard of quality control and without hopping on any other trend (afaik at least) and without succumbing to significant genre-defilement (at least on Grand Declaration of War, the metal and non-metal elements are kept clearly separate), and that's in spite of all the ridiculous drama/image issues of their early classics. Most importantly, they have real riffs.

As far as 90s black metal goes, I really don't think anything can touch what Emperor did. In the Nightside Eclipse AND Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk? Sign my ass up all day long.
Early Borknagar is up there too.

Easily. Mayhem can only dream of making something as good as Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism and they never even entered the same galaxy as Pure Holocaust.
I wouldn't go so far as to say nothing can touch it, but Anthems and Nightside are top tier. I think Prometheus is severely underrated as well.
I do like early Borknagar a lot as well, though I wouldn't put them in that top tier.

Yeah, "nothing can touch it" may be a bit of a stretch, but I still can't think of any 90s black metal I think is better than Emperor.
I'd keep Borknagar in that tier. The Olden Domain is tops.

Meshuggah is pretty overrated in general, they do make music worth listening to if you're into that kind of stuff, and definitely do it the best out of all the "djent" scene. I personally don't find any appeal in their music but I can see why people are into it.
Mastodon pointless? Ill need you to elaborate there as I am lost.

Anthems is a steaming pile of shit. ItNE is good, but no where near the highest tier of BM albums.
