Coming from Hungary, this black metal pioneer did tremolo picked melodies and blastbeats back in '88! They fucking invented the oh-so-famous blastbeat! The production is less than average, I would say, but the album gets its point across. I like the solos. Unlike most black metal, these solos are pretty damn good! Many of the songs have catchy riffs that are almost punkish but remain black metal. It's one of the first choatic black metal bands ever.
Production rating 6/10
Songwriting 9/10
