Too bad that once you’ve listened to it once, you won’t listen to it again. This is not Burzum. Burzum has been over for a long time, just like this is not metal but atmospheric black.

Burzum's Dauði Baldrs is a synth-driven album created during Varg Vikernes' imprisonment. While it offers a medieval, gloomy atmosphere, the music is repetitive and lacks the intensity of his earlier black metal works. The album's unique sound fails to engage beyond the first listen, leaving the reviewer unimpressed. Discover the haunting yet polarizing sound of Burzum's Dauði Baldrs and decide if its eerie atmosphere resonates with you.
Great CD, violent, angry, and enhanced by Alexi Lahio’s virtuosity, growl similar to Popeye’s voice, and the great Janne Warmann: a great duo of neoclassical inspiration. Alexi Lahio spits solos and sweeps as if it were normal, supported and doubled by the immense keyboardist Janne Warmann.

If this had been the CD of an unknown group, Nuclear Blast wouldn’t have reissued it… allowing the luminaries of print and virtual media to weave endless praises on the melancholic mood, on the complex Norwegianness of the compositions, and on other bullshit that even they don’t know what the hell they mean. Ultimately, a decent album that rearranged would become a MASTERPIECE.

Battles In The North is perhaps one of the greatest albums that the Norwegian black metal scene has ever produced. It’s better to remember them when everything was more "true" Norwegian black metal and when Immortal were truly the best.

The first track, Like Fire In The Night, is a perfect summary of the music offered by the Swedes. Imperial Domain "play" (very seriously, though...) at black metal with truly terrifying results.

This CD is truly a masterpiece of black metal, as evidenced by the fact that neither Dimmu nor other black metal bands have ever produced albums like this again. A truly melancholic brick is the instrumental Sorgens Kammer (which SHOULD mean 'chamber of sorrow'). Six minutes of just piano. If you manage not to commit suicide, it’s a miracle.
