Blodulv - Kristkrossare (2003)


Swedish raw black metal. A pure distillation of the essence of second-wave black metal, without a single attempt to modernize, inject dynamic, or otherwise compromise their sound. They've been criticized for being generic, but #1, that's never been a problem for me, and #2, that's exactly what they're going for, so I'm not sure that it qualifies as a critique.

Track listing:
1. Kristkrossare
2. Waffen Blodulv 666
3. Nordhornens Skugga
4. Muspels Soner
5. Traldom i Frostgrepp
6. Satans Skogar
7. The Weeds of Satan
