Alongside Helheim and Enslaved, Hades (later renamed to Hades Almighty for legal reasons) are the godfathers of Viking black metal, picking up the mantle from Bathory and taking the sound into more extreme territories.

This second full-length from 1997 is considered by some to be the band's finest moment, an epic and majestic record that combines a richly atmospheric and historic ambience with fiercely aggressive straight-out black metal aggression. A must have for anyone interested in epic Scandinavian black metal.
