Dodheimsgard - Kronet Til Konge (1995)

This is still my favourite Black Metal album from the Second Wave that sprang forth from Norway in the early to mid-nineties. Its just so fucking epic!!! The vocals of Aldrahn embodies the conviction of a Satanic High Priest at some dark arse ritual while he guts some baby goats to appease some demon. And you've got good ol' Fenriz on bass of course. I wish I had this on vinyl but its a rare mutha fuckah in at least 3 different prints (saw one on eBay for 99 bucks US in red, its tempting). One can get the picture disc LP from Osmose Productions here. I did however get the CD years ago and I still cherish it and I just got a t shirt via the German distro ebay store, Fullmoon...so that's how obsessed I've been so far...

It should be noted that this is a very different band from even the following album Monumental Possession (1996) which has the awesome dude, Apollyon from the mighty Aura Noir joining the band at this point on guitar and some vocals. The band later became known more simply as DHG and after I heard 666 International (1999) they lost me...anyway the Kronet Til Konge lineup is the fucken bomb!!!
