Here is this compilation that includes sixteen dark metal bands doing great songs. Here we have more famous underground bands like Immemorial, Ophidian or Moonsorrow along with other names that are not as known but as musically great as them as Dweorgesblod or Temple of Tipharet. All the bands are in the vein of complex black metal and I like the beginning with Ophidian doing their music in a great way. All of the bands here have in ytheir tracks some orchestration and interesting arrangements (some of the bands have more and some that are more raw have less). I would recommend this CD to people who don´t know the bands on it or to people who have not heard this style of music before and that will have here a good sample.
Favorite tracks: This is a great compilation CD and it is great to introduce people to the music of this bands
