yea the heaviness def went away after Elegy. I bought Tuonela hoping that is was similar to Elegy but i guess i held my expectations a little too high.

The 90's was the time of the second wave of black metal so it was a pretty good decade. Some good releases are:

Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom. Sathanas
Mayhem - Live In Leipzig
Emperor - In The Nightside Eclipse
Dimmu Borgir - For All Tid
Dimmu Borgir - Stormblast (the only two good Dimmu discs)
