 (8 Customer Reviews)
Laying down the blueprint for their own career as well as the careers of countless imitators, For All Tid is one of the landmarks of the Scandinavian black metal scene. Although several other artists had already planted the seeds for the neo-opera approach to the genre, this was one of the few recordings that displayed the potential the genre had to grow. The production is awful, boasting thin and sharp guitars, muted drumming, and echoing vocals that sound like what it might have been like to stand outside of their rehearsal hall. But somehow the songs manage to overcome the production, offering a somewhat beautiful (albeit warped) view of heavy metal that comes off far more ambitious than a band in their position usually does. The scope of the album is quite large, offering lush soundscapes of grating metal offset by sweeping keyboards. The use of clear vocals was another somewhat new innovation in the genre, and their appearance in "Over Bleknede Blĺner Cil Dommedag" is an excellent way to combine that idea with the savage thrash also contained in the song. Although Mayhem and Emperor would bring this approach to the international metal scene a year later with fantastic albums, For All Tid is the last stepping stone those groups needed to make it there. On top of that, this also marked the debut of one of the brightest and most innovative metal bands of the following decade. ~ Bradley Torreano

Dimmu Borgir For All Tid Songs For All Tid Music Review Average Rating: (3.9 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Nice
The moron before this review obviously huffs too much paint to understand what "true black metal" is. This and "Stormblast" are the closest thing to Black Metal Dimmu Borgir will ever be, not saying I don't enjoy their latter efforts but in respect to True Black metal, this is the closest they've come (wearing face paint and a shinny crotch cup with your name on it doesn't get you there). The reason true Black Metal fans don't respect them are because their over-produced rock operas are missing the 2 most important elements in Black Metal: atmosphere (it takes talent to do that, not 100 additional instruments, a choir and a keyboard) and hatred. Hate is something that is common in EVERY true release and old Dimmu used to have it. Spouting nonsense about Satan and "Death to Mankind" isn't HATE, that's just the over-use of played out metal cliché’s and catch-phrases. Hate filled music (created with well placed overlaying guitar textures and drums around multiple interconnected streams of layered beats in the same running tempos without missing a chance to diversify the inflection of the ever-changing pattern structure done in pure Nihilistic fashion) surrounded by a cold, dark atmosphere are all of what this and Stormblast are about, making them something TRUE Black Metal fans will appreciate. For a better example of this; check out Tulus, Khold or early Marduk and Darkthrone.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No very good.
this is a very good album probably their album with the darkest atmoshpere.
very similair to burzum.
if you are a fan of burzum u will like this album.after the 4th track the album starts to kick in.the 4th,5th and 7th tracks are the best in my opinion but most the songs have something to offer there all pretty good.
also check into storm blast.stormblast is good i prefer the original recording to their re recorded version.their old stormblast in my opinion is much more black metal than the new version.for all tid though is a very good album defintily worth buying specifically if u are a burzum fan.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Glorious Blasphemy
The reviewer and apparent self-proclaimed music "know it all" bone-head seems to know everything that isn't true and isn't factual when it comes to "true black metal" and seemingly everything else. And, while I'm not saying that Enthroned Darkness Triumphant was bad, because it was far from that, For All Tid and Stormblast are masterpieces. (thank you mr. "rock n' roll detective" for you insight and our enlightenment in the general area of idiocy)

DEATH CULT ARMAGEDDON was briefly reissued with a limited edition enhanced bonus disc featuring video footage and five bonus tracks.
Purists won't call it black metal, but if one has to choose a sub-genre it'll do. The only other thing you can accurately call it is extreme metal. With DEATH CULT ARMAGEDDON, the Norway based Dimmu Borgir has synthesized the last 20 years of heavy music into one very coherent and terrifying album. Along with Emperor and Cradle of Filth, they have risen to the top of their own dark niche.

In the fall of 2003, Robyn played her first solo show in a small bar in Philadelphia. Just two short years later, she had released her debut album, Pocket My Pride, produced a video for her first single, “One Step Ahead”, and performed in countless venues in both the United States and abroad. On August 19th, less than a year after her full-length debut, Harris will celebrate the release of her highly anticipated sophomore effort, I Never.Although she may look the part of the typical “female singer/songwriter”, Robyn is far from it. Instead, her songs are both versatile and unique, successfully mixing comedic and always heart-felt lyrics with everything from blues to jazz to folk to pop. But although one could easily place her on a bill opposite Aimee Mann, Susan Tedeschi, Jack Johnson or Feist, Robyn’s songs are able to find a home in almost any room she fills from the trendiest of coffeehouses to the ripest of dive bars and blues halls. Robyn’s latest release, I Never, takes her songwriting to new heights, showcasing a medley of folkie storytelling, jazzy grooves, dance-your-heart-out beats, and even a bluesy cover of “Ain’t No Sunshine”. The record touches on love and friendship, as well as heartbreak and perseverance. With something for everyone, yet a cohesive link throughout, it’s sure to grab even the toughest critics. But as impressive as her debut album was, and as inspired as I Never is, you have not truly experienced Robyn Harris until you have seen her live. One reviewer noted:“When ...
