Great spooky keyboards and theatrical sound. A timeless and unique ep

[CheapGore]

Listening to this album for the first time, while high and sleepy, Is a unique experience for sure.

When I first heard this in 2001 I absolutely lost my fucking mind with joy.

5:45 This is one of the best keyboard/orchestral hooks in symphonic black metal. I even made this into a ringtone for my Nokia! (Geez....I'm old!)

Esto es verdaderamente no son mamadas....

[HaraldGieringer-zpml]

Ich besitze diese EP seit dem Tag ihres erscheinen, also eine kleine ewigkeit und sie hat nichts von ihrem ganz spezielles Scharm eingebüßt.🤘🤘🤘

An unheralded classic, I'd love to own this pressed into wax

[olgerd]

The interesting thing about the album is that it is top-notch, and the keyboards somehow shifted it to a weird ancient children's or horror, but it all fits together in a cohesive way. Another album from Tartaros - Red Jewel, it was an unheard disaster, bullshit, it had absolutely nothing to do with this album, so this is the only thing from Tartaros that can be picked up even to the Troll-Drep de Kristne line. Although they are different. But approx, behind the Emperor-In the Nightsight Eclipse, on the second rung in the big, at that time- Today it's all different. Not even a dog barks after Tartaros, the Emperor is forgotten and the Troll trudges through the swamp of his own shit.

This sounds like a Beetlejuice cartoon soundtrack, Love it!!!

[Skyrilla]

1997?! Sounds more recent, damn, ahead of its time huh?

[f.claussell]

Does anyone knows wich tuning is used on this masterpiece?

[swinetastic]

It's for whomever the dark arts appeal to ... I used a feel only comfort in graveyards, ,, and why not.
