Wight – Wight – 2023

Wight is an EP by the band with the same name. Apparently, there’s also at least one other band called Wight. And to make the confusion even greater, they both perform Black Metal. It’s no secret that I have a hard time with Black Metal too. Often the voice is.. well.. like black metal voices usually are. I don’t know if they go for the demonic possession kind of sound or if they want to...

Satanic Warmaster – Aamonganr – 2022

I should have realized that Aamongandr was a black metal album when I saw those upside-down crosses in the unreadable logo. But I didn’t. I just thought that Satanic Warmaster was a cool band name and that the werewolf image was nice artwork—enough to get me interested. And, donät misunderstand me; I don’t have anything against black metal. It just takes a little more for me to enjoy it. It’s usually the vocals that ruin...

(B O L T) – (0 5) – Black Metal

(BOLT) and their album (05), I guess the parenthesis is part of the name. I don’t know where I found this. I don’t own a physical copy of it that’s for sure. It’s some kind of Black Metal which might be very hard to like sometimes. A lot of stuff needs to sound right for it to work for me, starting with the vocals. If I remember correctly, I could barely hear them but there...

Venom – From the Very Depths – 2015

I think that From the Very Depths, was the first album that I really listened to after I was discouraged by one of the more commercial albums where Cronos wasn’t present. I can’t remember which one though. But back in the day I really didn’t like it. But on the other hand, I didn’t really like the Black Metal album back in the day either. And, I don’t know why I started to listen to...

Venom – Black Metal – 1982

Black Metal was the first album I ever heard with Venom and I think that the anecdote I wrote about in the Welcome to Hell review was actually about this album. It’s not hard to recognize the sound created on the first album and the quality is still pretty bad. Yet, it’s lightyears apart. You can actually hear what’s going on, on this album. I’ve always loved the title track and I believe that is...

Venom – Welcome to Hell – 1981

Not at all bad and Welcome to Hell is an interesting piece of Venom history. Add to that, that they may have the coolest logo ever! My personal opinion of course but I really love this album cover. But even if itä’s not musically bad in any way, the sound quality is so bad it’s almost painful to listen to it. Ok, it was made in the early ’80’ and it was legendary recorded in...
