LUNAR AURORA - WELTENGANGER (1996)


If you ask me "what kind" of black metal I prefer, I can basically answer you in three words: Lunar. Fucking. Aurora. (Or one word: Inquisition. But that's another post.)
Let's see here... Non-stop fucking blastbeat madness? Check. Croaky-frog-vomit vocals? Check. Semi-discordant tremolo riffing up the ass? Check. Raw, yet balanced production? Roger. Cheezy fucking symphonic/"atmospheric" keyboard riffs floating around somewhere in the background? Yup. There is nothing wrong with this band whatsoever. I heartily endorse them.
Lunar Aurora came from Bavaria, Germany (birthplace of Adam Weishaupt and the Illuminati, according to some), and pinched off nine solid full-length albums, two splits, and two demos during the course of their 12-year existence. Weltengänger was their first (and arguably best) long-player, and consists of 47+ minutes of unequivocal, unadulterated, vitriolic HATRED, SPEED, EVIL, VIOLENCE, and DEATH.
Sorry, Jesus, but you're pretty pathetic competition for something this good.
