The epitome of 90's atmospheres without being trapped into stupid revivalism, with the same kind of freshness/vitality it had back then, and the same sense of grandeur and baroque madness which is the hallmark of the best ones (these bands who understood that there could be an infinity of shades of black/dark). Another masterpiece on the top 10 end of the year list ! (One of the best artworks too).

TL;DR. Well, this albums is pure gold in my honest opinion. It brings me back to late 90's or early 00's, back to those days when I was like 13-14 yo. I live in Poland and then we (me, and my back-then friend O.) used to got copies of bm albums from local record store. We went there as kiddos (by bikes of course) with tapes and rip some tracks from CDs which were offered to sell. We knew the record store owner, so that was easier. We ripped Emperor, Darkthrone, as well as some Metallica's, Therion's, Iron Mainden's etc. Metal, only metal. We wore only black, with silly crosses from local marketplace hanging on our chests. We got one or two tapes full of new songs. We went back home to O.'s basement to listen to, with only candles lighten up. Pure darkness over there, so many good memories and feelings... damn, this album reminds it all!!! And now, I'm 35+ yo, with my own kiddos doing internet stuff. I do not know what O. is doing since like 15 years... maybe he's not alive even. And I'm drinking whiskey with cola listening to this album, kids are sleeping, wife is sleeping. And a little tear appears in my eye... so much emotions with this album. Well done guys, fucking well fucking done.

@e.ruveydayazc3312 11 ай бұрын

first I've listened this album and than read the reviews about album. Reading the album review spoiled my mood. I also hear the influence of Borknagar, dimmu borgir or other groups. but when making one type of music, it is normal to take on some features of other music of that type. some of them wrote good reviews, but some of them spoiled the magical atmosphere of the album while trying to interpret it. As someone who has been listening to metal for 30 years, I prefer to trust my own heart and ears, rather than listening to someone's comments. Stormkeep did a very good job. Even I don't like anything American or Americanized. I listened to the album over and over again with pleasure without skipping any songs. And I'm sure I'll listen to it for a few more months and get the same pleasure.

As I've gotten older, structure has become more important for me and this album nailed it! The whole album moves perfectly with the acoustic brakes in song nr. 2 and 5. And the way it all comes together in 'Eternal Majesty Manifest' is so good! I'm on the edge of my seat towards the end and I just feel like playing it again once it's done. 10/10.

Started listening to death/black metal when I was 14/15 in 1992. No degree in theory, but I have a great ear all around. no skip on this one for sure. For example back in early 1996, I was ahead of all my highschool peers in general, and had discovered Dissection right when Storm of the Lights bane came out. 5 of us headed up to SF to see Dissection/At The Gate and Morbid Angel. Dissection being the opening band that no one really knew much about in my group but I was pumped and get pumping them up about how much they were going to kick ass. Dissection blew the ENTIRE crowd of Death Metallers there to see Morbid Angel and At The Gates. Needless to say, me and all my friends loaded up on Dissection Merch after the show.

This reminds me of one night, my son was a few months short from turning one, and I could not get him settled down. Long story short, I put on some meshuggah and he stopped crying. The rhythmic drum patterns and guitars had him sort of, hypnotized. And til this day, he's 3 now, he still likes his metal. When I'm playing something, he'll look at me and nod his head, bend his knees, and bounce his body in sync with the music.
