Classical sample in Samael "Baphomet's Throne"

[Erik]

In the beginning of Samael "Baphomet's Throne" off the "Ceremony of Opposites" album, they've sampled a classical piece. I know I've heard this piece before, but I've forgotten the composer and name of the work -- anyone know?

Mussorgsky's "The Hut of Baba Yaga," if my sources are correct. It's from Pictures from an Exhibition.

I hate when bands use samples of classical pieces. It's so cheesy.

I also hate that 9 time out of 10 it's O Fortuna. It's a great piece, but SOOOOOO overused.

Didn't Deicide use it on their last album? I mean, I know Glenn isn't the smartest guy in the world, but you'd think after being involved in the metal scene for that long he'd realize what a cliché it's become.

I thought it was on Vital Remains' Dechristianize. Oh, well. It's still Glenn. *sigh*
