In the matter of fact we should consider "The Call of The Wood" as a debut, because previous records were demos available on the tapes. But we shouldn't treat those records as something worse, cause two magnificent tracks "Born In The Grave" and "The Red Death" are from EP "Triumph of The Death".
Band the legend took part in the process of forming the symphonic black metal genre. I think the band is unequalled in a few things. Maybe they aren't as famous as the most famous black metal bands of this beautiful period, the early 90's. Till today this music keeps its unique atmosphere hidden mainly in the keyboard. There's no doubts it's inventive and exeptional and although I can see trying to equal this atmosphere in the music of the other bands (for example polish band called Darzamat), Opera IX still remains an uniqe in this matter. What can I say to those who doesn't know the music of Opera IX? You can't tell that You know what is black metal as long as You don't know Opera IX. All the "modern" stars of black metal I won't enumerate here are fade in comparison with the majesty of Opera IX's music from the 90's including the "Black Opera" album. What can I say to those who are loyal to their music for years as much as I am? I'm glad that I was and still I am one of us, still remain under the spell of woody and mysterious cult of the black opera.
It would be a crime on the history of symphonic black metal genre not to write about Cadaveria in this subject. In my opinion, she is a personage who is as important to this genre as Roman Kostrzewski (Kat) to the polish metal music, as Baudelaire to the French poetry and as Carpenter to the thrillers. Legendary female vocalist of Opera IX, who had spent 9 years by the microphone of this band has left in 2001 to continue her career as a solo artist. According to me she still is a symbol of Opera IX, although they released two good albums without her. Her nightingale twittering always will be singing in my sensitive, gloomy heart.

Interesting thing is that Flegias, who plays with Cadaveria in her band and who was a musician of Opera IX in the same time when she was, has participated in "Pleasure And Pain" by T.d.V.
