Early 90s Norwegian Black Metal from Count Grishnack defines some of the characteristics of the genre although simple, and often suffocatingly feral with ghoulish distorted screams garbling any message but the mood: sadness. The music evokes a dark and emotional despair that is suppressed fear within human existence.
This album is so highly influential in the metal genre that it has spawned new genres, such as "Blackgaze" and influenced many bands such as Dimmu Borgir, Ghost Bath, Wolves in the Throne Room, Xathur, and many many more!
