Reception

Fenriz showed no interest in sales and revenue. The reactions of the press on the compilation were split. Robert Pöpperl - Berenda from Rock Hard refers to them as " laudable projects " but criticizes Fenriz have some "filler " and " current lightweights like NATTEFROST AURA NOIR or infiltrates ". He sums up: ". You drive safely better if you the originals of the true masters At length to full-length " Mathieu holds blackmetal.at Fenriz Presents ... The Best of Old- School Black Metal " somewhat unbalanced mix " for a "fairly redundant publication. " Morgenstern of schwermetall.ch judges, however: " Nevertheless, the slice has its value: Maybe it one or the other black metal newbie to not remain at Bombastkappellen like Cradle Of Filth and Dimmu Borgir, and to the origin of the actual Black Metal remember.
