64. Order of Nosferat - "Towards the Nightrealm of Orlok"

Vampire-obsessed black metal via Germanic/finish duo who don’t do things by halves. They combine raw black metal with the world of dark synths. The marriage of these two styles leads to a really Gothic and atmospheric concoction that feels brooding as well as being brutal. It rather fantastically world builds, conjuring up imagery of crumbling castles and stalking vampires. It has an almost cinematic quality, though we are talking a black-and-white Bela Lugosi movie rather than anything you would see in IMAX. Basically, if you like stuff that is expansive as well as being malignantly evil then this is really rather good.
