I got me one of these today.

Yeah I think Cheat did

No he didn't lol. Dude, hell is such a good band. I was listening to all this absolute garbage on some of the record labels of my favorite bands, and I was listening to this thinking, man it's really difficult to find actual jems among such an absolute slew of mediocre crap.

metal music isn't really my thing

*and never will be.

your taste in music probably sucks anyway.

I like music that I like, I'm not really trying to have some scholarly taste

lol what the fuck is scholarly taste, you pseud? get wrecked.

Some people think they have music down to a science. The people who can say without exaggeration that "this song is objectively better than that one because of composition, structure, etc". That's what I mean by scholarly taste.

95% of everything is shit

But I was not prepared for this album

YouTube

This is my first time hearing it in full.

Not even done with it and I'm blown a-fucking-way

Dude I've owned a first edition copy of Blod-draum since I was like 16, I must have mentioned it to you before. It's one of the absolute bests, enjoy it, glad you finally found it. It's incredible.

Nah man we've totally talked about it before, I remember. I just had only heard like one track so there was nothing much to say. It's like a better version of Portal before Portal. Those pure Black Metal riffs thrown into that immense, surreal pool of Death Metal is just fucking incredible.

Can't believe I never gave it the time of day until now.

Jealous you have a first edition. I've heard the re-masters make it less murky, which I feel might strip it of some of its charm.

No, fuck the remaster. The murky production is definitely part of the charm of the album, it's thickness really makes it sound like how the album cover looks. Cryptic, mystical, dense, dream like, you might as well go to an abandoned temple and say "yeah I'm gonna just cut off all the shit that's been growing on it for years that makes it so beautiful so it's 'cleaner'" is how I see remastering blod-draum. Even the new cover makes it look like mediocre crap, which is shame because the guy who remastered it is infestdead and edge of sanity and he's not a bad musician.

I've been getting fed up with metal. It feels too harsh
