Ooh Errrr.....you know you're in trouble when the seriously mentally ill bass player from Mayhem starts photocopying Aleister Crowley´s Astrum Argentum order sigil and uses it as a cover for his Demo.The one he sent to Euronymous Top chump in Mayhem, in '91.
Somehow Euronymous like it a lot and offered Varg (Burzum)the recently vacated position of Bass Player in Mayhem.Yes the band that bust a blood vessel trying too hard to be the most infamous,most darkest, most fucked up Black Metal band in the whole of Christendom......well,..er...in Norway,at least.
If you've come here for some full blast raw Black Metal you may be disappointed? Recorded on a single mike placed in the centre of the room,this can only be described as......well,Crap?
Three tracks of slow Black Metal it says on the insert. Slow it maybe,Black-ish it ain't,Metal,certainly NOT, but it does have a meandering but muffled foggy charm that reminds one of the good ol' days of Fuck Off Records
Euronymous saw the potential anyway?
The first ambient Black Metal band anyone?
Its a pity that the dearly departed leader of Mayhem couldn't have also spotted that Varg of Burzum, was a complete nut-job fruit loop sociopath who would kill him a few short years,plus a few immolated Norwegian churches later.
Its all just a bit of fun kids,don't take it all so effing seriously...especially Black Metal for fucks sake!? Sometimes its more subversive to sell out,and fade away?
Tracklist:
1. Lost Wisdom
2. Spell Of Destruction
3. Channeling The Powers Of Souls Into A New God
