Satanic Rites: A Tribute to Hell FMP017

Digging through CDs the other day and pulled this one back out. Fully appreeshed. This is the release that, other than first wave stuff (Venom, CF) and the first Darkthrone record (which doesn't really count) got me into all this blasphemin' and face-paintin'. (Fun fact: This was actually handed down to me by TJ, AKA Thorn from that one Vital record.)

Lots of great stuff on here, some of it supposedly otherwise-unreleased. You really get a feeling of the state of things toward the end of the last decade (release date is '99). Artists are from pretty much around the world - Scandinavia and the US are well-represented, but there's also bands from Japan, (I think) South America, and most of "regular-ass, non-Viking Europe." Overall, you get a pretty solid mix of styles - mostly with good-to-passable recordings, along with a few 4-track blurs and a couple of keyboardy atmosphere tracks to spice things up. I'm really digging this all over again - lots of stuff I never bothered to track down that just made it on my want list.

LOL @ Mayhem listed with no vocal credit and Grishnackh on bass, BTW. HOW'D THAT WORK OUT, GAIS???

Great comp. indeed. Awesome layout as well.

Art by the guy that did the Motorhead logo. This CD's got a pedigree.

i love Thy Primordial - At the World of Untrodden Wonder. one band i've never cared for no matter how much i hear is Naglfar.

Naglfar = guilty pleasure for me

Petagno, right. Artist of all black/thrash/death bands on Osmose, Necrapolis, etc. of the late 90's. I was referring to the awesome layout/info booklet you dum dum. Cover art is for fagolian faggots.
