Yes, Troll, of course it was a joke. I can't believe people take Pat Boone so seriously around here.

Two words: it's Norg.

Didn't think much of Obituary to be honest. The last track was pretty cool but other than that nothing impressed me. I much prefer the doom-boogie of Autopsy; I can rock to that.

Autopsy - 1
Obituary - 1

I seem to remember you absolutely hating Autopsy a few years ago.

Trollheart · 01-24-2022, 02:19 PM

I know. I guess it's called progress. Or growing a pair. No, ignoring the vocal (sort of) I could really dig the music on Autopsy, but Obit did nothing for me at all.

Mind you, it was seven, nearly eight years ago now...

And so, suitably shaken but not quite stirred, we move on to Mondo's number
9

Mental funeral --- Autopsy --- 1991

Yeah, this looks like fun. I may have prejudged Burzum --- wrongly --- but I feel this is gonna be like having teeth pulled without anaestetic. By a chimp. Wearing a welding helmet. And boxing gloves. In the dark. On a boat on a storm-tossed sea. Ah FUCK! FIFTEEN tracks?? Thanks Mondo! Well to be honest, with titles like “I shit on your grave” and “shit eater” on other albums of theirs, and looking down the tracklist of this one, maybe I've been spared the worst. Also, Wiki says 12 tracks so I'm gonna assume the Spotify version has extra ones which I'll ignore like the girl I am. Twelve is going to be more than enough, going from what I hear here. (Hear, hear!)

Delightful! Another dark growly singer like yer man from Morbid Angel. Guitar work is good though, and it's not all superfast, in fact some of it is almost doom metal slow, like “In the grip of winter” and “Robbing the grave” --- very slowly, it would seem. Oh, I notice a couple of tracks are less than a minute long. Praise be for small mercies! Well again I have to say these guys know how to play, and again at least it's not grindcore. But definitely not my thing. Moving on...
