Elevation
Our rating, out of 100 — and why.
AI-generated from five scored dimensions. An opinion, not a measurement.
Repetitive riffs and stark instrumental breaks give the songs a recognizable shape, but the appended Aske material weakens the compilation’s pacing as an album.
What we noticed
- The first eight tracks move between rapid, abrasive riffing and slower, repeating figures; “The Crying Orc” and “Dungeons of Darkness” interrupt the vocal-led run with instrumental passages.
- After “Dominus Sathanas,” the final track, “A Lost Forgotten Sad Spirit,” shifts into a longer, more drawn-out close rather than restoring the earlier pace.
- The catalogued sequence joins the eight-track Burzum album to three Aske tracks, so its final stretch reads as an appended release rather than a developed ending.

Defined its genre or moment. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
