Originally released by the now-defunct Necropolis Records, the Nordic Metal compilation features several Norwegian black metal bands that would go on to become some of the biggest names in the genre. Surfacing shortly after the murder of Mayhem guitarist Øystein "Euronymous" Aarseth, this disc contains exactly what you would expect - a bunch of raw, hateful BM, delivered by dudes in spikes, leather, and a shit-ton of dorky corpsepaint. They're almost all winners, but my favorite is the lead track from Abruptum. Pure fucking sonic malevolence.

I like how the Dissection songs are in no way related to Euronymous or Mayhem. One is a Nodtveidt original, and one is a cover of a Tormentor song. Cash grab!
