@Daarkvader I know right?! I remember reading a PIT magazine issue back in 1997 that interviewed Døden, the guitarist. If not for that I'd have missed it too.
Absolutely amazing. They don't make it like this anymore. And it just doesn't have the same appeal in England as it does elsewhere, which is a shame of highest degree.
@Possesssed666 Absolutely, I couldn't agree more. Obtained is absolutely my favorite symphonic black metal band, primarily because they rip on romantic era classical progressions. I love it.
one of the top 3 black metal bands ever. so unjust they are little known.

@pumpazabicikli occasionally you can find a copy on Ebay. You will pay top dollar because it's out of print BUT it IS worth every penny.

@ 4:29 is probably THE best classical passage ever recorded in black metal. Dare anyone disagree...?
jnabraham 5 months ago
@jnabraham me. The whole Summoning opus is one awesome classical passage. Not to mention some other bands...

@pumpazabicikli Yes, Summoning IS worthy. Along with Obsidian Gate.

They are too underrated. This is up there with old Gorgoroth. It reminds me of when Satyricon was good.

I for one love that these guys are underrated because that just makes it THAT more special of a jewel to find.

I dont usualy like symphonic black metal that much....
but in my opinion.
this isnt symphonic black metal, that would be deragatory.
This is classical black metal fusion.

This is what Bach would sound like if he played Black Metal.

One of a few albums, where one can find true symphonic black metal (symphonic AND black metal, both together).

This band was very underated. And they had the great "Pest", who is just a simply amazing singer.

It's a very "busy" piece of work, but I like the entire album. I was less impressed with the follow-up release, but "Witchcraft" is very good.
