A limited, 1000 copies release of a split between two greats of the Nordic black metal scene. The crunchy fuzz on Mayhem's studio cut here is outstanding, and lends itself more to the murky depths of death metal rather than the coldness of the blackened variety. Zyklon-B is much more refined and ultra-fast, showcasing the pure breed of industrial black metal (a strange crossover genre in itself, which either works mesmerisingly well or falls flat on its arse). In all reality however, there is nothing new here, and this release is definitely for hardcore fans of either bands.
