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.
