Surprising that none of my blogger buds have picked up on this release, but so fortunate because that gives me free reign to step in and fill that overlooked void. With Flesh Cathedral, Svartidauði have truly established themselves in the world of Black Metal. Comparable in style and quality to Swedish masters Ondskapt and Ofermod, they deliver pretty much everything you would want in a Black Metal album. There's ample amounts cavernous echoes, lethargic misery, and muderous blasts. Along with the variety of pace is a refreshing balance of dissonance and melody. I'm pretty certain these guys are the finest Black Metal band out of their small (but prolific) country of Iceland. Don't miss the boat on this one.
