Amazingly Crafted

The thing that has always appealed to me about black metal is its duality of beauty and brutality. I enjoy and I am entertained by bands that express this duality through alternation -- a lyrical acoustic and/or synth piece here, a raging metallic assault there (can you say Opeth?) -- but I am truly amazed and impressed by the artistry of those bands that are capable of expressing the duality through integration, creating unified pieces that are equal parts beautiful and brutal concurrently. I've never found a band capable of producing such integration across the board; it's always a release-by-release thing. In my mind the top slot of integration has always been "Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk" by Emperor -- that is, until I heard Nokturnal Mortum's "Nechrist." It is a truly stunning work. It has taken the top spot as masterpiece of integrated black metal.
