One must contemplate when Shagrath screams "Satan blessed the creatures, inswathed them in endless night" and some unrelated military in tropical dress pops up nonchalant in the b/w video with his cool moustache side by side with 1990's evil blackmetal corpsepaint. You never know where your unrelated video will end up in 50 years.
Shagrath gets a lot of unnecessary mob mentality hate but you have to give him credit, his voice is iconic and his performance on mourning palace is fucking incredible, if not his best then one of!
This song never dies till this days and more years to come in the future, influences only the ones that understand black metal, no other morons that have no clue about heavy metal
I listened Dimmu for the first time due to this riff at 4:28 and i thought it was a Traditional Heavy Metal band, then i asked from what band it was and someone said "this isn't Venom, Hellhammer or Bathory, this is Norwegian Black Metal !". Nowadays i watch the Norwegian Black Metal so-called "fanatics" listening to Venom, Hellhammer, Bathory, Motorhead, Slayer. 🤔
