The more straight black/thrash tracks, will strike you with their murderously precise drumming, their aggressive vocals and the riffs, that are what truly make this album what it is.  A gem of black/thrash!!

Enslaved - Vikingligr Veldi


Genre: Black/Viking
Country: Norway
Year: 1994



1. Lifandi Liv Undir Hamri
2. Vetrarnótt
3. Midgards Eldar
4. Heimdallr
5. Norvegr








Debut album by Enslaved. With Enslaved having since moved farther and farther away from orthodox black metal in recent times, this is a testament to the band's roots. The atmosphere constantly kept alive using mostly simplistic riffs followed by keyboards whose sound is strategically placed throughout the tracks. The breakdowns are all done in the same way, after a violent blastbeat, the music suddenly stops, leaving all instruments but one guitar, silent.

Debut album by Massacre. By the time of it's making, death metal was just taking it's first steps, so the guitar riffs are still very, very thrashy. But you don't hear that thanks to the sonically heavy and intense production Scott Burns gave this. Kam Lee employs a very unique tri-vocal attack (a harsh death grunt, a bellowing roar, and a sick piercing scream). Death metal masterpiece.
