Absolutely amazing. They don't make it like this anymore. And it just doesn't have the same appeal in England as it does elsewhere, which is a shame of highest degree.
Obtained enslavement is at the top of their black arts.Its all about taste.There is not a band better than the other ,they just offers something called " diversity".I like the unique Identity of this group as much as I like emperor's own style.A masterpiece is a masterpiece be it from CoF dimmu limbonic arts emperor oe and so on.I listened to gehenna and I think Evilfeast from poland is their true successor.
Even as awesome as this album and song is when you're sober, it is way more awesome when you're high. Like seriously, try listening to it while smoking some nice pot. It. Is. Awesome.
Guys, its so simple. You can like it a little, a lot or nothing. Witchcraft its MASTERPIECE, like it or not. Those that @GoldenGateNum9 numered are too, yeah, but FOR ME none of them can beat this one. I dont like their styles but OE. In fact, I hate these bands. 'Simple' stuff for me. Can be backwards for another person and its ok.
Is your first time with this? I understand you, sounds very "pointless" at first listen. Give them another chance, is a great band. Also, I recommend you to read the reviews of this album on metal archives. Some of them thinks the same as you(and me) at first listen but understands the band some songs later
@Daarkvader I know right?! I remember reading a PIT magazine issue back in 1997 that interviewed Døden, the guitarist. If not for that I'd have missed it too.
I dont usualy like symphonic black metal that much.... but in my opinion. this isnt symphonic black metal, that would be deragatory. This is classical black metal fusion.
This band was very underated. And they had the great "Pest", who is just a simply amazing singer.
Masterpiece

They are too underrated. This is up there with old Gorgoroth. It reminds me of when Satyricon was good.
Nostalgic, great music for me, from the 90'th
This song is truly epic.
one of the top 3 black metal bands ever. so unjust they are little known.

Such a great song, the riffs at 5:01 are amazing.
@ 4:29 is probably THE best classical passage ever recorded in black metal. Dare anyone disagree...?
Me fascina su black metal melodico y contundente
this song is so pretty
this is great
this wonderfull

@pumpazabicikli occasionally you can find a copy on Ebay. You will pay top dollar because it's out of print BUT it IS worth every penny.

larga vida al black metal puro
@pumpazabicikli Yes, Summoning IS worthy. Along with Obsidian Gate.
@Mysticum81 ahahah you're right!
@jnabraham well for me better late than never! ill definitely check out this band:)
Who is now in the new Gorgoroth
@ProcreatingSorg i agree
THESE GUYS WERE GREAT MUSUCIANS!!! SADLY THEY ARE NOT VERY RECOGNIZED!!!
@pumpazabicikli BUY IT. This worths every penny spent.
This band does not get the credit they deserve.
@pumpazabicikli soulseek.

Get your facts right before spewing ignorance.
