Excellent, I’ve never listened to Nature Unveiled, but I have listened to Dogs Blood Rising and, as someone who’s not well-versed in industrial, I can say it’s a masterpiece, one of the darkest albums I’ve ever heard, truly terrifying in some parts...

Wow, well, thank you so much for the really comprehensive response. If there were a rating for comments, I would give you a 5, just to mix things up (hehe). Until next time!

I return here almost a year later to say that I understood almost nothing of the poetry of Tibet; there is no reference to political extremism, just a fragile man, alone, trying to find answers to questions that are impossible to answer, trying to exorcise his fears, trying to reanalyze his life in the hope of finding an order, a stability that will help him face it...

Anyway, speaking of music, I’d like to ask you something. A year ago you wrote a review of "The Funeral Of Being" by Xasthur (by the way, brilliantly, among my favorites). In the opening, you made a digression talking about two works from the same musical scene: Nattens Madrigal and Filosofem. Now, I was really struck by the way you spoke about them; Filosofem is an album I enjoy, even though I prefer other albums by the same Burzum, but perhaps I haven't fully grasped it; do you really think that Filosofem is such a post work, capable of transcending metal and ambient to reach an unclassifiable genre? And by what criteria do you declare it to be one of the most significant albums of the entire 20th century? Why Filosofem and not other works/masterpieces?

got it got it. "Aretino Pietro" is an expression I've heard around, and it refers to a person who adopts a certain behavior while leaving themselves a loophole, so that if accused, they can wriggle out of it by turning the situation around. I believe it also has other uses, though, such as adopting a "B - lifeline" solution, meaning keeping a playable option in case the first choice turns out to be the wrong one. Not surprisingly, the complete expression, which isn't very poetic, is: "like Aretino Pietro, one hand in front and the other behind." I don't know why, but I find it very effective… XD

This review is strange because you have leaked, without hiding it too much, an aversion regarding the ideological component of the album, while in the reviews of groups with the same ideological background like Blood Axis and Der Blutharsch, you only focused on the musical component. Sorry to say it, but I wouldn’t want this to be a move to play the "aretino pietro" against the possible criticisms that other users could direct at you (as already happened in those reviews).

Good job, you've improved a lot. I'll take note of these even though for now I'm overwhelmed by the black, who knows when I'll listen to them...

Magnificent, perhaps the weakest of the three as the others were truly of the highest caliber, the first is the most schizophrenic, Samsara is a masterpiece where they managed to find exactly the right blend to homogenize all styles, this one hits the hardest, the most death even though they haven't given up at all on their winning hybrid of sounds... a must-have if you enjoyed the others.

Nice review, sometimes though I believe that in the realm of doom (especially classic doom) the peak of emotionality has been reached by that gem of emotions that is Watching From A Distance, what do you say home?
