When Dimmu Borgir put out this album, I can almost guarantee
you that they had no fans in the USA.
Dimmu Borgir didn’t gain a following until Enthrone Darkness
Triumphant. This album is far more raw,
and far better than Enthrone Darkness Triumphant. To describe this album, it is definitely
black metal, which I see as punk music, and when I mean punk I mean Misfits
style punk, with symphonic tendencies. I
can’t say that I am a huge Dimmu Borgir fan, except for this album, which is a
black metal standard. There is something
about For All Tid that is not only dark, raw, and classical, but also sexual,
and I mean that in a masculine way. The
drums of For All Tid are not triggered.
The production is primitive in the way that black metal, as a genre
started out, and in my opinion is meant to be.
The vocals on this album are some of the scariest shrieks, moans, and
gurgles you will ever hear! Some songs
on For All Tid are 5 star, but the album is not consistent enough for me to
give it that 5th star.
