A special Anniversary release presenting the rare „SOULS OF INFERNITY“ 7“EP for the first time on CD plus the entire „TYRANTS OF THE NETHERWORLD“ album as a special „Rehearsal Session“.
Musikalisch gesehen ist "Ecce Homo" eine interessante und eingängige Platte von melodischen bis aggressive Black-Metal mit einer leichten progressiven Schnittkante versehen.
A mid-90s masterpiece, this is Dimmu Borgir and symphonic/classically inspired black metal before it became polished, an archaic and atmospheric work with heavy use of piano and calming passages contrasting with aggressive and epic metal aggression. A somber and immersive album that is arguably far more timeless than the later rerecorded/rewritten Stormblåst 2005 recorded a decade later.
