Don't judge me. I didn't own this #bathory cd until today. For my 45th birthday my in-laws sent me amazon gift cards (which I love) and in now seemingly tradition I spent them on overtly satanic material. I own the next four in quorthon's discography. Even after listening to this beast my favorite remains "the return", that's not to diminish the well documented importance of this album to some of my favorite albums, the black metal genre and my affinity towards satanic looking goat heads. I don't know how it took me this long to land this disc. It's an evil murky mess from 1984 and sounds like much of the records you have already in your black metal collection. I will admit that there are a bunch of cds that I keep around because I fear some other music aficionado coming over and pointing out essential holes in my collection. Up to this point some corpse paint adorned music nerd would have been able to scoff at my expanding black metal section over the absence of this disc. Well not after today my grim brethren! I kind of wish I was joking at the amount of relief I experience over obtaining this album. I feel more smug. I don't feel like a fraudulent owner of most of the darkthrone catalog. Come at me metal bros. I'm ready and my collection is now bullet - belt proof.
