Two of the most important and influential Greek cults do battle for Hellenic Black Metal supremacy. Who will prevail in this occult olympiad? I can't call a winner for this one, I love both bands too much.
Oh, and for an in depth primer on the strange world of Greek underground Metal go check out Helm's guest post and compilation on Illogical Contraption
Strange. Today a friend of mine just showed off this CD to me. He bought it last week at a record store in LA used for 30$.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link. Personally I think Varathron win this!
ReplyDeleteAt Amoeba? I was looking at that CD but wasnt sure if I had it or not so I passed. I guess your friend picked it up! haha small world.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Helm, I have been enjoying the comp and the write up was fantastic.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite record by both bands. I hope in some fucking better universe more bands are influenced by Greek shit (and Mortuary Drape) and not so much Norwegian.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout out, Aesop.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Helm here, Varathron is the winner on this one. Close, though.
Helms! Great write up! Thank you for the knowledge!
ReplyDeleteshelby i was hanging out with a guy from eureka named cid (pronounced "sid")the other day,do you remember him?
ReplyDeletehe was part of that annoying "art fag" crew back around 99 (im not being a homophobe,but it really is the best description)
also heard from ton (pronounced "tawn"),strange guy he was too,but a good person deep down
Of course I remember cid. Great dude. Ton is certainly a trip too. Used to go by the name "Assrash" and eat dogshit at parties. Good times...
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't eat dogshit at parties?
ReplyDeleteUntouchable cover on this record.
