Emperor / Enslaved - Emperor / Hordanes Land
Emperor: An utter feast of unholy Black Metal. Clearly one of the best in this rapidly expanding style. Mixing Black and a little Death and coming up with something far more original than most, and still very atmospheric and haunting. I do wish this came with lyrics, though. I would love to know what the words are to “Cosmic Keys to My Creations and Times.”
Enslaved: Well, I’m not as concerned about the lyrics with this band, since they are all in Norwegian. That’s pretty cool if you ask me, but I’d really like to know what they are about. The only one I think I can translate would mean “Allfather Odin” in English. Okay, I didn’t think that these guys could be any better than Emperor, but they might be. It’s really close. Again, Black Metal, but with that touch of Death. Just a little. Completely outstanding.
An unbelievable combination of bands on this split leads to one of the best sounding Black Metal releases I’ve heard. I wouldn’t pass this one up, unless you like god or something.
