Urgehal’s debut full-length ‘Arma Christi’ was released in 1997 and musically it was heavily inspired by Darkthrone. It is too easy to simply call them a rip-off because they’re not but it for sure is obvious Darkthrone is thé biggest inspiration on ‘Arma christi’.
The sound is raw and filthy like a true Black Metal album should sound like but all instruments are clearly to be heard, which makes this album a pleasant listening.
‘Arma christi’ is definitely not a highlight in this genre but it still is a decent and far above average album which captures the spirit of true Norwegian underground Black Metal.
