Sorry, I was away for a while. I listened to this record and joined a Satanist cult for a bit. It wasn’t that I wanted to. I was compelled. Maybe that’s not the right word. But “forced” doesn’t seem right, either. “Encouraged”, maybe.
Holy hell, I almost like this more than their debut. I know, I know…fire and demons and shit. But, the construction here is something even more compelling than Show No Mercy. That must be the professional production.
I know it’s strange but I just like this. I don’t wanna listen to it all the time but, fuck, I really like it. I have to really want to commit to it (weirdly, it’s best for me as background music while I’m doing a menial task). To just pull it up and listen or drive to it or ride my bike…no. But, in my kill room…wait…umm….
Never mind.
