The legendary Blackdeath must be one of the hardest working black metal bands in Russia. They're also one of the most respected ones, both within and far outside of the boundaries of this vast country. Founded in Saint Petersburg, back in 1995, they have changed very little to their harsh and relentless sound over the years. In that aspect, 'Totentanz' is exactly what you can expect from this evil trio.
Chaotic, harsh and bleak black metal in very old school tradition, that's Blackdeath's usual recipe and for this album, they made absolutely no effort to do things differently. Why should they? This raw version of the genre is quite rare these days and certainly a welcome addition to your Blackdeath collection, if you have that. If not, you should start it. No self-respecting black metal fan should lack this band. It's as simple as that.
There actually isn't much more to say about this album. I'm not going to refer to other bands either because this is Blackdeath and Blackdeath need no comparisons to others. This is a solid black metal identity. So, my recommendation? Just buy this album, play it loud, then play it louder and wait for the inevitable apocalypse. There really isn't anything better to do in this sad, pathetic excuse for a society we live in...
