A Case for Black Metal’s Greatest Album: Macabre Omen – Gods of War, At War

Fiello and Nick discuss Macabre Omen’s “Gods of War – At War”, an album that sits at the crossroads of many worlds. The conversation covers the use of multiple independent voices to create grandeur, how it redefines what epic should be in black metal, its clever use of dissonance, the Hellenic themes that separate it from its peers, and why a record released so recently is already a black metal classic.
