A bit. I'll give almost anything a chance, but I'm less likely to click on something with a name that turns me off unless it's been recommended to me.

Morbid - 'December Moon' 1987 was an amazing year for early black metal. This, Mayhem's 'Deathcrush', Bathory's 'Under the Sign of the Black Mark' and Sarcofago's 'INRI' all came out during 87. So not just the best year for hair metal, but also for first wave black metal. I've got a beautifully presented re-release of this, apparently limited to 666 copies, but there is no information/logo regarding who put this together at all. Metal Archives says 'Independent'. It contains the full demo with Per Ohlin (Dead) doing what he does best, plus all the songs again from a rehearsal tape and two songs that aren't on the official release. It's amazing music. A young Uffe Cederlund on guitar, who would go on to form Entombed. The packaging is beautiful, not just in design, but in physicality. There isn't a single mark or blemish on inlay or jewel case. I don't know, it's a beautiful thing. Lyrics and liner notes are present. There's a hidden track too, with (presumably) Dead saying "You're all dead" as well as some other things. Quite haunting.

Iron Maiden - Powerslave

Assück - Anticapital

Nordfront- "Werft sie raus!" Nordic Thunder- "Born to Hate" 2 solid RAC releases. I prefer Nordic Thunder for the raw agression, but Nordfront has some nice soft stuff here and there.

Batushka - Litourgiya Seems legit that these two will stay together for several more albums....

Looking at it now.... Indeed, It seems legit, and It checks out with the one listed on discogs.

Di'anno has a fair few fans. Hopefully aload of them will be there for his final show. For a fair few hes there favourite maiden frontman.

Faith No More - Angel Dust ...a nearly perfect album to my ears, not just a standout from the decade of the 90s but a recording that helped define it.

Nokturnal Mortum - Lunar Poetry

Rotting Christ - Thy Mighty Contract

Quite like the vocal. np- White Death s/t

Like some others above, I have always enjoyed reading and watching anything about strange cults and serial killers etc. I always found Manson an interesting character, the control some of these people seem to possess over others is crazy. Crowley is interesting also.

Sargeist - Satanic Black Devotion

Today's lesson. If you go to give blood, apparently it has to be your own.
