Gorgon – The Lady Rides A Black Horse (1995)

I love this. Definitely an under-rated gem and not one that I have ever come across before, so I was very happy to unearth it. I can’t speak for the rest of the band’s discography, which appears to have a more mixed reception than their debut, but the interestingly titled The Lady Rides A Black Horse is a fantastic 90s black metal record. The production is actually quite dense for black metal, having more in common with Turn Loose The Swans era My Dying Bride than anything more Darkthrone or Burzum.

It is this warm, heavy sound (the bass pops through so well) that carries these blackened compositions of history and fantasy.
