Sargeist - Let the Devil In (Full Album)

"Post-1996 black metal is out of ideas. For example, how many times can you imitate “Bergtrollets Hevn” and “Måneskyggens Slave” (Gorgoroth) before you truly admit you’re using Silly Putty to life an image from a newspaper, then pretending it’s the real thing? The vocals on this album surge so consistently that it sounds like someone riding a merry-go-round while screaming at the top of his lungs. Despite an obviously intensive and thorough study of older black metal (probably with note cards and those little colored tab things in a binder) Sargeist has none of what makes the songs good. Like Ancient, it tends to like to use melodic minor scale patterns and then drift into more cheerful whole intervals, creating a sense of lifting out of darkness. Unlike Ancient, this band has no idea how to structure songs; these don’t go anywhere, but cycle around until you’ve heard all the good parts, and then evaporate. It’s tempting to want to like this because it’s catchy, sounds like old black metal from a distance, and isn’t all wimpified like more recent black metal. But it’s missing that core, the substance and the unique beauty that black metal found in darkness."

So many tones and riffs of Seigneur Voland...

Finish pure Evil

I'm really trying my best to use this as one of my outlets right now due to the fact that some bullshit happened that had me raging and I'm still desperately trying to calm down. Its in these moments when humanity experiences things of unease that we just all off a sudden rage with emotions.. more the less it feels like a brief moment of demonic take over, your body rushes with adrenaline and those are the moments where you can do something out of the actions of your emotions that can drastically change your life

Riffs

Brillant album

menacing...

How the hell can someone not like this?

That opening riff of "Nocturnal Revelations" is so memorable I hum it all the time

This was the first black metal album I ever fell in love with, many years ago. When I made my battle vest, there was no question which band would get the back patch. This album is very approachable, but it is true black metal in my opinion. the mid to late 2000s were odd years for the genre, but Sargeist persevered. This album will forever be remembered.

As good as it gets.

One of the best black metal albums ever, so energetic yet kinda smooth and cold

💚

It has some Alghazanth feeling in it.

It's crazy sometimes how you can get lost in the fast drums n melancholic sounding tremolo riffs. You listen to one song completely and you keep listening thru the whole thing. Great album.

Meu amigo, que riffs são esses...absurdo

👍👍👍😈😈😈🔥🔥🔥i love this album

Ah yes, Transilvanian Hunger 2.

Невероятно мощная и красивая музыка, до сих пор не могу понять почему этот альбом не понравился моей набожной бабуле

Man I slept on this way too long. This is some of the best black metal out there.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The (only) Let The Devil In song ! ! !

Fucking wow?!!!!thank you sargiest....black metal is still alive!

If bm is usually very cold and icy, this is the BM equivalent of being scorched alive. Masterpiece of a record

Great álbum

god i love this fucking album

Lindo demais

🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Great riffs

This is a modern BM classic album. Start to Finnish. Hail Satan eternal!

Sargeist hella changed since the last time I heard them. I like it a lot. I agree. Modern classic. Usually listen too things like Leviathan or Catbird but this is good all around.

Finnish quality!!!

Klassiker

Respect from belgium

🇫🇮⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🇫🇮

This album is so fucking good man!

what subgenre of BM is this?

Strong from start to finish. 🤘👹🤘🤳🍻🥃☠️

Великолепно!!!

Makes me feel like I'm in the Paris catacombs, lost without a way out and a wave of evil, sadistic vampires find me and are about to eat the living shit out of me.


LOVE IT!

Discovering the enshrouded eye is in my top black metal songs. Great groove and main riff and the middle breakdown riff is so melancholic and beautiful. Perfect song.

If you hear anyone say black metal faded after the 90s, this is definitely one of the albums you refer them to

Burning Voice of Adoration!!!!! fuckin bad ass theme!!!

Why when you search for top black metal albums you can't find this ?

For me their best album 👊🏻🖤

It’s fucking weird that the one track I cannot stand on this album is the title track. That chorus just... I dunno
