Themed Mixtape Game

Yeah I heard that too, he feared the narrow mind of extreme metal fans I guess. Such a shame.

@Elric of Melniboné I believe he scrapped 40% of the original 1989 material, according to MA this seems to be the case.

Quorthon, as much as I revere and fangirl over the guy, was full of shit and irksome that way.

That would be the editing that I'm referring to. I've never seen it substantiated that he made new recordings though.

Agreed. He was so dishonest about a lot of things.

"What?! No, of course I've never heard of Venom!" Sure, pal.

MA also says he rerecorded that chopped 40%, so I dunno...

I looked it up and he apparently did some new recordings in 1995. It's unclear how much was new though. I would imagine that the original recordings probably weren't taken care of well since it was originally scrapped, so that makes a lot of sense.

Now that we hear about all kinds of new remasteded reissues of old music, the quality of the old master tapes is often why some albums remain out of print. Sometimes they're just too damaged for the endeavor to be successful.

We're almost fully in the digital recording age now, so I'd imagine that will become less of an issue when reissues of much newer albums are in demand.

Speaking of, I hear the guys from Legend are finally prepared to work towards officially reissuing From The Fjords.

I excite.

So...how do you guys think you did?

 

[no country for old wainds]

mid-table.

 

[CiG]

I heard it from the guy that runs their official fanpage, so take it with a grain of salt I guess.

Aside from the usual asshat my song has been consistent as fuck. I'm curious to see where it lands. Also, I really hope Harambe wins. He deserves it.

Has everyone rated?

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

Currently three less ratings than there are songs.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

Oh, okay. Hopefully, this doesn't get dragged out until the end of next week.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

I didn't rate last round BTW and I really don't know why. It's not like my job working at a dollar store and drinking heavily prevented me from rating but whatever.

Also Cassette rated and didn't submit a song so technically 4 submitters to go.
