10. Armada


Keep of Kalessin boasts some of Norway's finest musicians amongst its ensemble, which is one of the many reasons why this black metal powerhouse's latest disc shreds most other extreme acts to waste. On the 10-track ARMADA, this menacing unit's sweepingly majestic wares intertwine with an overabundance of pure mayhem, concocting the vicious sting found gargantuan outings like "Vengeance Rising", "Into the Fire", and "Deluge". Progressively punishing and deliciously demonic, Keep of Kalessin take black metal out of the catacombs and above ground long enough to exert a volatility and dynamic force akin to Cradle of Filth sans the costumes and pageantry. Mighty and bold, ARMADA is a maelstrom of an album guaranteed to pump the listener with the proper fury and ferocity.

While recording Smashing Pumpkins' "Crush," producer Butch Vig told Billy Corgan he'd have to take off his jewellery for the guitar solo. Instead he kept it on, and the percussive effect audible in the background is the jewelry playing loosely in time with Billy's wrist as he strums.
