Dirge of Death's Silence

Blood Stained Dusk are an amazingly brilliant band. They remind me of early Emperor, production and all, but by no means are they a clone band. Tell me, when did Emperor ever use acoustic guitars to introduce a song? Anyway, Dirge of Death's Silence starts of with Moon Behind the Storm. It begins with a nice acoustical passage and then the fury begins. This is brilliant stuff. Haven't heard any Black metal this good since Emperor. The fury rages on and on throughout the album, but it's not a total blastfest. There are intricate passages all over this album. The last song is especially entrancing. Funeral of Lamentation starts with a thunderous riff that builds up throughout the song. It is a 9 minute epic. I know this review probably sounds like sh*t, but this album really is this good. With albums like this, the USBM scene could come close to rivaling the Norwegian scene. Buy this album now!!
