Listening to the album felt more or less the same. I don't think that Bathory is one of those bands where each track flows into the next, and the album is a unified whole so much as a collection of great tracks. I will probably get along in the future by just checking in with a few favorite tracks every once in a while. Yes, they were Warhammer stuff - mostly demons. Your art sounds interesting! Have you posted any on the art thread here? I have thought about looking for a teacher before, but it sort of sounds wrong for the genre. Total self-sufficiency feels like some sort of an ideal for authentic bm, and I would like to try and aim for that. Noise just takes practice - no previous musical experience is necessary. Hopefully I will do a real release one day, as I have only participated in a few online-only compilations so far (one of which was, in hindsight, sort of a joke).

I was talking about bands like Venom and Bathory. I realized earlier this year that I had never listened to a Bathory album all of the way through - though I had listened to many tracks. At least I managed to change that. Haha I always wanted to write good black metal, but I have realized that I do not really have a mind for composing it. I still try every now and then to do so, but I think I am overall better suited to noise. It's really hard to balance work/life stuff with hobbies. That was the main reason that I have essentially stopped painting. I used to paint a lot of model kits and wargaming stuff. I like to think that I had some skill, and I hope it will come back when I start back up again. What do you paint?
