│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Somewhere in the midst of ImmortalÆs grand ║ │
│║ triumph in the early 2000s, when the blackened ║ │
│║ throne of Blashyrkh had been set upon the ruin ║ │
│║ and corpses of rival and ally alike, the emperor ║ │
│║ looked down at his conquered empire and decided ║ │
│║ to claim another one. But not long after flying ║ │
│║ the flag of triumph in a more measured, ║ │
│║ reminiscent manner via ôIö, the old tyrant ║ │
│║ spread his raven cloak and returned to place his ║ │
│║ boot upon the neck of all whom oppose, and with ║ │
│║ it came a live album containing 11 unfettered ║ │
│║ celebrations of past conquests. And one thing ║ │
│║ becomes clear from the selected anthems of dark ║ │
│║ glory; these 3 kings of northern darkness have a ║ │
│║ very preferentially based view of their own ║ │
│║ past. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ If there is one thing that marks ôThe Seventh ║ │
│║ Date Of Blashyrkhö, it is a desire to keep the ║ │
│║ hordes of warrior cultists pleased, hence an ║ │
│║ absence of any transitional album offerings. ║ │
│║ Indeed, the olden days of Bathory praise that ║ │
│║ were ôDiabolical Fullmoon Mysticismö present a ║ │
│║ different picture of the band as mischievous ║ │
│║ warlocks rather than grand heroes under the ║ │
│║ ravenÆs mark, and clash with the modern ║ │
│║ death/thrash infused character that started ║ │
│║ taking hold on ôBattles In The Northö. By the ║ │
│║ same token, the over death metal nods to Morbid ║ │
│║ Angel and other early Florida outfits heard on ║ │
│║ ôBlizzard Beastsö carry a different feel than ║ │
│║ the measured chaos of ôAt The Heart Of Winterö ║ │
│║ and beyond. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ In short, what emerges here is two heavily ║ │
│║ contrasted embodiments of Immortal, manifesting ║ │
│║ as both the body in their latter day works, and ║ │
│║ its shadow via the offerings off of ôPure ║ │
│║ Holocaustö and ôBattles In The Northö. The ║ │
│║ dominant of these two comes off at its strongest ║ │
│║ during the renditions of various songs from ║ │
│║ ôSons Of Northern Darknessö, with perhaps the ║ │
│║ aforementioned albumÆs title track being the ║ │
│║ zenith of what captures the spirit of this ║ │
│║ performance. ItÆs a powerful, cohesive balance ║ │
│║ of epic sounds and chaotic blasts, culminating ║ │
│║ in AbbathÆs frosty growl and chilling riff work. ║ │
│║ This is a genre of metal that generally doesnÆt ║ │
│║ lends itself to being well accomplished with one ║ │
│║ guitar in the live setting, but here the whole ║ │
│║ arrangement sounds dense and complete, even ║ │
│║ during the occasional lead breaks where only ║ │
│║ bass and drum keep up the background. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ But the strongest element at play here is the ║ │
│║ bandÆs semi-theatrical tendencies, providing a ║ │
│║ modern answer to the riveting imagery put on by ║ │
│║ Kiss 3 decades prior. Pyrotechnics and smoke ║ │
│║ machines are employed with almost the same level ║ │
│║ of exaggeration as a typical Metallica or Guns ║ │
│║ NÆ Roses concert. The chief ingredient that puts ║ │
│║ this over the top, and one that is often lost ║ │
│║ when viewing a number of live concerts in this ║ │
│║ genre, is the darkness of night draped over the ║ │
│║ stage and audience. This is a style that, even ║ │
│║ when in the most accessible merging of ║ │
│║ QuorthonÆs occult and Viking themes, requires a ║ │
│║ dark atmosphere to truly grip the audience and ║ │
│║ communicate the implicit sentiments of the ║ │
│║ genre. Dare I say, no black metal band should ║ │
│║ ever perform live unless at night, and in this ║ │
│║ respect, one of the consequential pioneers of ║ │
│║ the 2nd wave has not forgotten where theyÆve ║ │
│║ come from, though their sound has evolved a good ║ │
│║ bit. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ This DVD could not have been better and more ║ │
│║ appropriate to its subjects, though the absence ║ │
│║ of a handful of irrefutable classics, including ║ │
│║ a few lost souls from the ôBlizzard Beastsö ║ │
│║ album, does detract a slight bit. Abbath and ║ │
│║ company are about as into their craft as can be ║ │
│║ expected, never missing a note, nor a morose ║ │
│║ muttering between the blinding flurry of tremolo ║ │
│║ riffing and blasting. Not to mention that the ║ │
│║ guitar tone on here is a perfect recreation of ║ │
│║ the studio sound that has typified the band ║ │
│║ since ôAt The Heart Of Winterö. Sharpen your ║ │
│║ swords, grab your Nordic war paint and prepare ║ │
│║ minions of Blashyrkh, yet another mystical ║ │
│║ outing into the snowy landscapes of eternal ║ │
│║ night awaits. ║ │
