Obtained Enslavement



Genre: Black Metal
Country: Norway

So here we have former Gorgoroth vocalist Pest's original band, playing some grim black metal that has a slight symphonic touch that is just enough to create atmosphere but not so much that it ruins everything. Below are their first two LP's - 1994's Centuries of Sorrow and 1997's Witchcraft - to give you a taste of satan's mystic tunes. Centuries of Sorrow is a buzzing whirl of riffs and Pest's screeching vocals while Witchcraft ups the production values and sounds a lot more Norwegian, with trems and blasts and all that jazz all shrouded with themes of wintersorrow and alchemy and all that is necro.

Odium - The Sad Realm of the Stars (1998)


Genre: Symphonic Black Metal
Country: Norway

I can't believe i forgot about this album.  Luckily i saw it in my library as i was scrolling through, because it definitely deserves to be here.  Symphonic black metal gets a ton of hate in general, and usually rightfully so because most of it is god awful, but there are a few little gems floating around, and this is easily one of the best in the genre.  Think if Emperor, Burzum, and Mayhem all came together to make an album, this is probably what it would sound like.  Fast, meaty but raw, all with that wonderful Norwegian melancholy that made the scene what it was, this album is fucking good.  Even if you hate sympho bm give this a spin, i'm sure you'll find something to like about it.
