Artist: Arathorn
Album: Niemals Kroenender Als Was Einst War
Genre: Black Metal

This band blows my mind. The atmosphere created by this band in overwhelming. The style is ancient and medieval, reminiscent of walking through the streets during the Plague years, dead bodies strewn across the land. The special thing about this sound is that, unusually, the tremolo-picked guitars lend to the background while the keyboards (sometimes a church organ) take control of the melody. The vocals sound like an elder wiseman weaving a tale of death and sorrow. I recommend this album for anyone who likes Keyboard-oriented Black Metal. Hell, I want everyone to get this. This album is a must-have for anyone's music collection.
