The Post-Apocalyptic Black Metallers Azrael have been around since 1999 and claim to be the first band that broke Black metal barriers.

But still, their full-lengths have their unique touch.This release of Azrael's older stuff shows their progression in one year, albeit in reversed chronological order, and in hindsight it is unbelievable that the band of today SANDRA.N.696

The sad part is I could have been listening to this for the last three years. This is definitely one of the best raw black metal albums ever. The drums are elite. Metallurgical Fire

The band pays tribute to old-school black metal without becoming a cliché. Their music is exactly what I want when I want to listen to straight-up Second Wave black metal. The riffs were memorable and weren’t diluted by too-long run times; the drums were resonant and powerful without being overpowering, and the songwriting was excellent overall.
Finland black metal band att the finest.
