Graveworm – Engraved in Black (CD)

Italian black metal outfit Graveworm built their reputation through the 1990s and 2000s as one of Europe's more melodically ambitious acts in the extreme metal underground, blending gothic atmosphere with Scandinavian-influenced aggression. "Engraved in Black," released in 2006, sits squarely in their mature period, showcasing the South Tyrolean band's knack for pairing harsh vocals and dense riffing with sweeping, keyboard-driven arrangements that set them apart from their peers.
