Funeral--From These Wounds. I fuckin' love this thing. One of my all-time favorites.

One of the all time greats. They just hit the nail on the head, and then got lost trying to follow it up. As anyone would. This is a freak of an album and not something that can be planned or manufactured.

NP - Old Man's Child - Slaves of the World.

I bought this on a whim this afternoon because I wanted to walk away from JB with a c.d, and I'm glad I did. This is surprisingly catchy. There are some top riffs here. It's not ground breaking or anything, but as far as melodic, catchy blackish metal goes this is fucking cool.

It's interesting you say that because for me the album is full of amazing ideas. I think it's just fantastic. It sounds like the album that should have been produced between 'Enthrone Darkness Triumphant' and 'Spiritual Black Dimensions'. There are elements of both those albums but with that 21st century gloss without the head kicking triggers. I'm still enthralled with this album. Love it.

NP: Mayhem - Life Eternal (original mix of De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas in A5 digi book number 484 of 3,000).

Actually, speaking of black metal, I just received in the mail today a copy of Peter Beste's 'True Norwegian Black Metal', the black metal coffee book with photos, old interviews and letters etc. It's stunning. Xenoyr I must show you at some stage if you don't already have it. It's pretty much the definitive image collection of Norwegian black metal. The amusing coincidence was that I put my Darkthrone - True Norwegian Black Metal shirt on when I got home for the first time in about 6 months, cracked a beer, and then saw the book on the table. 'True Norwegian Black Metal' book. Coincidence? No. Euronymous communicating with me through channels unknown? Almost certainly.
