Dead as Dreams

lol @ insulting, this album is rather over-rated, 83 seems quite appropriate and isn't even a bad score!

yeah I agree, this album is good, but generally hyped like everything else from USA... definitely recommended though.

I never had the impression that black metal from the US was hyped, at least not more than Norwegian, although I guess many tend to hype American black metal as a reaction to the Norwegian hype. However, if this particular album is hyped, it might be because Fenriz called it a masterpiece.

That said, this is definitely a black metal album like no other.

Hyping anything USA black metal? I'm from the USA and even black metal fans over here insult US bands just as much as Norway, Germany, and Greece does. Musically, this is almost a gem of an album. Period. It's littered with atmosphere and chaos around every corner (in the best way), and the riffs have a tremendous amount of thought behind them /m/ The only thing I would change is the vocals. I don't know what it is, but the vocals on this are not doing it for me.

Outstanding, dark, and unique. One of many "one-hit wonders" in the black metal world, and this is arguably the best
