And this is not close to Nemesis. Not in this fucking universe. No fucking way. Not close to Dark Medieval Times or The Shadowthrone either. It's a good album in its own way but, no, Just no. Those albums are something else.
Totally agreed. Sorry if you read me the wrong way. I didn't mean to put Rebel in the same league as Nemesis. I just meant to say that for what it is, it's completely great. Compared to the band's earlier works it's a step down... but it's still way, way better than what most of the black metal scene has become (save exceptions like Enslaved, although they're barely black anymore, IMO).
And, Nemesis is a freaking milestone. No black metal song has ever, or will ever touch Mother North, probably. I've honestly never heard Dark Medieval Times but Shadowthrone is also way different and out of this league. Just thought I'd precise a bit.
