Pure Holocaust
''Pure Holocaust'' is the second album by Norwegian black metal band Immortal. It was released on November 1, 1993, on Osmose Productions. It is generally faster sounding than its predecessor ''Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism''. The lyrics focus mainly on ice, snow, and fantasy landscapes. The album was released as a standard CD, as a limited LP on Osmose Productions (which was reissued in 2005), and as a limited edition picture disc in 1998. Critical reception Marc van der Pol of ''Allmusic'' approved: "On ''Pure Holocaust'', dark, technically advanced, powerful, and challenging riffs propel the songs forward through a myriad of blasting drumbeats. Yet surprisingly, the album also conveys a gentler ambience in sections, without the use of a trite "gothic" aesthetic. The ambiguous emotional quality, unique style, and heart-pumping rhythms are all reasons to purchase this." In a Black Metal History retrospective, Atanamar Sunyata wrote: "Every aspect of Immortal's game is accele ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
