a remaster for Mayhem’s Grand Declaration of War came out last week

will revisit - I thought it was so weird when I first heard it many years ago haha

wonder if it aged good...

 

what were you put off by? just didn't dig the music, or...?

 

Instrumentally there’s a lot less going on than my initial listen. The band kinda seemed whatever about talking, pretty much only the drummer was answering anything. They ask them about ETID who the band acted whatever about and said they only know of them and their music now because of their tour with them. Rubbed me just a bit pretentious for a band I’m not blown away by.

Shit, this is reminding me how many metal releases I missed this year between here and the eventual shreddit list...

 

It’s ultimately a good thing though because I can mine through y’all lists and find some goodies
