Beherit - Engram

[Jim Necroslaughter]

I thought the spoken introduction was unnecessary and lame.  It just kind of threw me off - I almost laughed.  I don't know...I guess it's not a big deal.  Anybody have the lyrics?

Is that not from one of Pekka-Eric Auvinen's video manifestos? It takes on a more visceral context with that in mind.

AHHHHHHH.  I see.  Well if that's true, I DO think differently of it.  I had no idea.  I thought it was NHV.  If this is true, it's not quite as lame.

Listened to some samples, sounds promising. Will buy Engram when I can get around to it.

I like how it recapitulates the birth of black metal from its origins. It starts out Bathory-esque, and layers that into a more developed, contemplative form without losing spirit.

Apparently, it made #10 on the Finnish charts:

Oh thats a great thing. Good to see the Beherit chaps getting some recognition (and likely a bit of cash) for their efforts.

They earned it. This CD is hated by certain groups because it sidesteps all the black metal stupidities, and affirms what the genre was always about -- which upsets those who want black metal to be mediocre, participation-oriented music.
