Here’s your reminder that this is just 30 years removed from “Rock Around the Clock”, 20 years from The Beatles’ “Help” and 10 years after “Bohemian Rhapsody”.
This kind of makes me want to go back in time and give young John Osbourne a hug. Take him out to a ball game. Buy him a piece of pie and maybe take him out in the sunshine.
So, then he might not have helped create the genre that eventually gives us this.
I am so fucking tired of speed metal. And that’s weird cuz I love love loved Anthrax’s record. This is pointless, though. It’s all that medieval garbage and they couldn’t afford Boris Vallejo so they got a 3rd rate hack version of him to do the cover.
The fingers are fast, the vocals are Halloween scary, the drums pound at freight train speed. If you love Bathory, this is your jam. Depending on my mood, it either is or it isn’t.
