This import contains most of the bands better tracks from their darker, heavier, more traditional black metal period. Fans of this would also enjoy Samael's 'Ceremony of Opposites', a black metal masterpiece.

4.0 out of 5 stars What music should be like, June 24, 2000

This review is from: 1987-1992 (Audio CD)

This cd is wicked! Nearly every track on the cd is a work of true satanic art. The only two bad tracks are with the gleam of tor and Macarbre operetta- and my friends even like those. I brought this cd yesterday and cant stop listening to it. a must be for any Samael or even Dark Metal fan

Excellent introduction to Samael's origins. Those who are familiar with the masterful Ceremony of Opposites will probably not be too surprised by the slightly more primitive & traditional black metal here, but those who climbed aboard later may be shocked. Although Worship Him is worth having, I mainly listen to Blood Ritual, which is full of classic songs with crushing dark riffs and unique atmosphere. "After the Sepulture" and "Macabre Operetta" are slow and doom laden, while "Blood Ritual" and "Since the Creation" are great occult thrashers. "Total Consecration" is one of the best black metal "interlude" pieces that I have ever heard, with building layers of piano and strings topped by Vorphalack's convincingly impassioned supplications to Satan. The last track, "...Until the Chaos," opens up with a killer combination of awesome riff and truly bestial howls from Vorph that really evokes the title.
