I realize that Damned in Black gets overshadowed by the amazing thing that came afterward, but tracks 3-7 are some of Immortal's best, esp "Against the Tide" and the title track. That said, I still can't decide between AtHoW and Sons.

It definitely should've gotten more than one vote. And it's not even my favorite Immortal album.

Having only heard the first five, it's got to be At the Heart of Winter, with Battles in the North a close second. That said, Immortal is probably my least favourite of the 'big' second wave Norwegian BM bands. Perhaps I'll change my mind once I hear their postmillennial stuff.

the atmosphere on Diabolical Full Moon Mysticism is out of this world. that, Bergtatt, Aspera Hiems Symfonia, Nemesis Divina, DMDS, and the BIG TWO Emperor albums were my first exposure to Norwegian black metal, and despite the genre going to some remarkable places over the years, nothing quite compares to the sound of the stuff from those early days
