I hated Bathory at the time but I have grown to love them (or him I should say) and I love that album art for some reason. I think Blood Fire Death just pips this one though. VERY influential.
Despite many rave reviews about this album I felt truly underwhelmed when I heard this. I have played it a few times since but I personally don't see what all the fuss is about.

I suppose the fuss comes from its influence on post-rock and (for some reason) math rock. |

I don't see the math rock influence, but listening to it with the idea that it was one of the first post rockish albums, it really is an interesting album. A lot of bands have really expanded on what they did but I still think Spiderland holds up.

Disc 33 of the Klaus Schulze Ultimate Edition box set. Track 1 is mindblowing

Calla - Scavengers This album has been on heavy rotation for about a month now. There isn't a weak song to be found on this in my opinion, the tracks all have this smouldering, moon-lit menace about them - akin to Gun Club and early Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, with an alt-country influence squeezed into the mix too. Very dark and foreboding, which is just how I like it. |
