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 Benediction. While most bands were trying to go faster/heavier/more brutal, Benediction were one of the first to reign in the speed and add thunderous mid–paced passages to songs. Behind the mic is Barney, that later moved on in Napalm Death. Raw, primitive death metal.
