Carpe Tenebrum - Mirrored Hate Painting (1998)


Masterful Norwegian black metal featuring two then-members of Dimmu Borgir -- who, it's important to note, were still great at this point. Icy, intricate guitar work, punishing drumming, and atmospheric keyboards. Why is the album art so bad, and why does the shadowing of the band name and album title make it so much worse?

Track listing:
1. The Abyss' Mystic Haze
2. Lured Like You Thought
3. The Painting
4. Mirrored in Scarry Skies
5. And Forever
6. Ludus
7. Void Dress
8. Dreaded Chaotic Reign

Astral chimes divine
