Lucufigum – нахристихрящях (1999)
Quite possibly one of the best black metal records I’ve ever heard. Lucufigum’s debut full length is a magical mix of synthesizers and non-stop, pummeling metal. Don’t get me wrong, there’s a ton of bands that do that, especially in this genre, and I’m not entirely sure what it is about this record that does it so perfectly. I guess it’s the “vibe” (to get all white girl namaste for a moment), which is second to none. The vocals are savage, the guitars sharp and fast, the drums relentless. Incredible.
