5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the money!, March 11, 2004

Catchy, powerful riffs are what makes this album great. All the songs are good except maybe two. The sound quality is surprisingly clear. This album doesn't have the traditional Norwegian epic sound with the exception of the last song. The riffs are just simply plain good.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic debut, October 4, 2002

I've always been a big fan of the more "epic" black metal, with groups like Enslaved, Thyrfing, et al, and let me say that Twin Obscenity is second only to Enslaved, and this is an absolutely fantastic album. While it often lacks the creativity and inspiration of early Enslaved, this album is still quite complex, alternating between shrieked and growled vocals and clean female vocals, with acoustic guitar thrown into the mix every so often. And frankly, I think the sheer power and drive behind many of these songs more than makes up for their lack of TRUE originality; but I must say this, they have something that most black metal bands don't: an actual low end! What a novelty! Anyways, definitely check out this album, and anything else this band has put out, it will be well worth your time.

I heard the song "When the Chains Are Broken" on a century media demo CD, and knew I had to get this album.

There are 3 songs on this album which are each individually worth the 15 bucks I paid for the whole album.

Songs like Dark Millenium's End, When the Chains Are Broken, and Like the Death of a Sorceress are the whole reason I started listening to Black Metal in the first place.

The riffs on this album are some of the best you will ever hear in Black Metal in terms of pure guitar playing.

They are highly reminiscent of the kind of riffs found on "Master of Puppets" or "...And Justice for All".
