Dread Reaver (Ltd. gatefold LP)

Riff-maestro Abbath Doom Occulta cements his place among the metal hierarchy with Dread Reaver, his third album with eponymous project Abbath. His signature blend of blistering speed metal, traditional metal influences, and touch of ice cold black metal creates a sound and style that is distinctly his. It's spirited, balls-to-the-walls energy certifies Dread Reaver as the quintessential anthem for total metal mayhem.
