 Det Glemte Riket - Ancient
Newest Review: ... same level as its progenitors from Mayhem, Burzum, Emperor and some of the others, but capturing the same frosty, dirgey ... more  ... sound and forging a unique concoction. As a fan of the more emotive, keyboard-based black metal bands, I'd consider it a classic, but for sounding fairly similar to many bands in Norway and elsewhere, a few of them much better, I'd have to put it down as one of those albums that's ever so slightly underrated, a bit.

Good music, wide appeal 
Start and enda bit pop-y and over-produced? Some good old tunes... Some naff dated ones... Some nice acoustic songs to break up the discography, and some notable guest performers. Too rooted in blues and repetition to be of real interest. Insight into death metal's beginnings. Too firmly rooted in the past. A lot of great Maiden tracks, Some tracks not previously released live, Amazing crowd response Many tracks have been released on previous live albumsBruce's vocals are clearly sufferingNot the band at their best Interesting and different thrash metal. Bizarreness may obstruct casual listeners.The Tropic Rot - Poison the Well
11 brilliant songs Would be a bit overpowering for people that aren't fans of heavier music

not a fault to be found none for me

Twilight - Twilight
Goth - 2005
