Blasting their way through several punishing tracks of pure black metal rage, all the way to a killer cover of Bathory's "Sacrifice" and ending the record gloriously with a 10 minute roller coaster ride of neck breaking barbaric riffs, this is easily Tsjuder's best release and one of the fiercest black metal albums I've heard in recent years. Music this technically intense isn't an easy task to pull off, yet the tightness of the material is so apparent that Tsjuder makes it sound so natural. This makes the new Marduk stuff sound like a Walt Disney band. This is totally devastating to say the least. I think I need an aspirin now.

One of 2004's best Black Metal offerings. Tsjuder delivers without compromise. They sound like what you'd get if you combined the sound of The CRAFT with the intensity of DEATHSPELL OMEGA, in other words if you like either band I just mentioned you'll love Tsjuder. 9 ripping tunes including a cover of BATHORY's "Sacrifice" and ended with an 11+ minute all out assault named "Morbid Lust" A must for any Black Metal collection.

This is very good straight black metal in the vain of Gorgoroth and Marduk.I must admit I was a bit skeptical when I saw the cover.It's a bit generic so I thought the music would match.Nope.True it is nothing new but the music is really good and the riffs are catchy and this album is blazing fast.The musicianship is great(you can tell these guys know how to play their instruments well)and the drummer never misses a beat.He is bada*s!Good production value as well.I was suprisingly impressed.

Forget Marduk, Dark Funeral,1349 or the jokers called Enthroned, Tsjuder have stepped up to the blackened altar to receive their rightful coronation as classic black metal kings. They have brutal melodies, thrash metal influences and enough time changes to give Dillinger Escape Plan a run for their money (yeah, I know I can't be true to the BM cause if I listen to mathcore but who gives a fig!). I read a review in Terrorize giving this release an 8 or 8.5 and I agree.

Tsjuder for me was a breathe of fresh air. I'm extremely sick and tired of Cradle of Filth and others ruining what black metal once was...This album is full of razor-blade riffs, along with thunderous drumming. Nag is also a very good vocalist...highly recommened to any real black metal fan...NO GOTH WANNABES ALLOWED!!!

Desert Northern Hell is simply excellent Black Metal. An excellent album, REGARDLESS of genre. I haven't tired of this after 2 years of frequent listening. A classic in the annals of Black Metal. Lord (of Metal) I wish this band would release another album this good! My faith in Metal is justified thanks to albums like this. It's fast, tenebrous, coherent, thrashy, KILLER drums, bad a@@ guitars and vocals reminiscent of Quarthon. Which is very GOOD. A triumph.
Nobody does Thrashy Black Metal as well as these Scandinavian bands. Essential.

This is straight up no frills black metal. If you like your black metal raw and punishing get this now. No synths, no clean vox, just raw brutality.

This album is great filled with blast beats and screaching black metal growls. A great album for those who love Black metal. Catchy and rock hard i recomend this album very much i own it and love it!!!!!
