Reviews
Frank Stöver described A Tribute to the Black Emperors in Voices from the Darkside as recommendable and a successful bootleg that contained Morbids December Moon in almost perfect quality. The reason for this release is pretty obvious: to enrich oneself with Mayhem's popularity and to dedicate the record to two of the most influential people in Black Metal . In his opinion, the publication would have been even more interesting if it had appeared a few years earlier.
