This is by far the best thing they have ever done. I truely believe this album to be a masterpiece. It's a bit of a change for them as well, hardly any blast beats, more symphonic tracks and overtures while sticking to the traditional slavic beats. The most memorable album they've ever done. I scored it from Lost Disciple for $6!!

I got it from him too.

Great disc.

I got lots of cool shit from Rich,

APOTHEOSUS - The Fall and the Triumph
ELITE – Kampen
LUGER - Kill Worship Die
NACHTGEBLUT - Frozen Streams of Forgotten Knowledge
NOKTURNAL MORTUM - Weltanschauung
SETH - Era Decay
TOTEN/CONTIVISTI split

but this Nokturnal Mortum album takes the cake. I've been spinning it consecutively all week.

aye I love the album, I ordered the ukranian version mizzovrenie when it was released... if The End hadn't dropped them because of their beliefs I think they'd be getting the reknown they deserve over Averse Sefira and such bands

thanks guys! Glad you like the cds josh!

yer the man Rich! I'm trying to scrape together so more cash!
I've always held a belief that NK is everything that Dimmu Borgir should have been.

Such a great band

I'd buy this right now if I wasn't dirt poor. The album Nechrist was truly amazing.

Nechrist slayed, I thought they would have a hard time topping it, but this album destroys it. I love the 99 tracks featuring birds and rivers, oh the harmony!

it's 88 tracks, and yeah, it's incredible. i normally try to keep cool when it comes to music, and keep my album reviews down-to-earth, but the last track on Nechrist, the one with the chanting, seems to call to me on a primal level. it's that good.

It's NOT by far the best thing they've ever done. ¿WTF You on man? The CD is good, but not THAT good. All of their cds are amazing.. but I don't think this one is their best!
Goat Horns blows it away, and there are some 'unforgettable' songs on Lunar Poetry as well. But, Weltanschauung their best? Nope. The production is great, but some of the songs just don't do it for me. Nechrist is a tad bit better if you ask me.
Nokturnal Mortum, all hail thee NS Warriors from the Ukraine! Drudkh, Hate Forest, and Astrofaes (anything with Roman in it ) is pure quality metal from the Ukraine as well... if not better than Nokturnal Mortum.

@Nash - you don't even listen to metal anymore -- right?

last track on Nechrist, isn't that the reworking of Perun's Celestial Silver?

it's called perun's celestial silver, yeah. what do you mean by reworking?

Yeah, it's originally from Lunar Poetry, the '96 demo.

Notice on WELTANSCHAUUNG how you can hear Tom Hanks yelling from Saving Private Ryan! That's fucking black metal right there.

To the Gates of Blasphemous Fire is sweet.

its on Lunar Poetry originally kind of cool to hear the two versions

and yes I listen to metal, i'm just no longer an elitist

I'm smoking pot. I bought Goat Horns last summer, I like it, but nothing on that album sticks in my head or hits me like this one. Honestly, I'd take Return of the Vampire Lord/Marble Moon over Goat Horns at this point.

Another good release!

track 11?

Track 12!

listening now, i'm assuming this is during the warfare, right?

Yes. At about 18 seconds in.

The 88 tracks is a reference to Nazism.

i didn't hear him yell, but isn't that the part when he's killed? havn't seen that film for awhile.

Dissector said:

are you sure about that mr. giallo? or do you really think a liberal like me is too ignorant to not have a nsbm collection?

Put some headphones on. You can hear him in the back. I'm not sure what part of the film it is, although I believe it's from DDAY

BornSoVile said:

Haha no no no, I didn't mean it like that in anyway. I'm currently doing a report for my history class on hate rock and that's one of the things I found out while doing my research. Just thought it was an interesting fact.

I can't hear it, I don't think its on the russian version... theres differences in the 2 versions

Dissector said:


Well then, I hope to hell your studying it up with some Skrewdriver!

BornSoVile said:

Skrewdriver? Never heard of 'em...


::this is where you need a sarcasticly laughing smiley::

.......?

haha fuck post editting hahaha.

shizzle, i need to get this. I was just listening to Gates of Blasphemous Fire last night. amazing band.

I disagree completely that it's the best thing they've ever done. Nowhere near as good as 'To the Gates of Blasphemous Fire'.

ahhh hah, everyone loves a different album!

I like most of their albums, but for me 'To the Gates...' has the perfect blend of brutality and the symphonic elements are toned down a bit more than 'Goat Horns', plus I enjoyed the subtle folk touches on the later tracks. After that one I'd say 'NeChrist' and 'Weltanschauung' are the best, then 'Goat Horns'.

I need to get the rest of their albums

http://www.lostdisciple.com/ has a bunch for $6.00 each.

sweet, thanks

yeah, i need their whole back catalogue...them and Finntroll.

I gotta say kudos to Oriana for getting these versions over to the States...the US versions are pale in comparison. The packaging on these imports are amazing and these versions have cover songs by Wasp, Motorhead and Slayer
