Under The Sign Of The Black Mark Noctunal Obeisance (intro) Massacre Woman Of Dark Desires Call From The Grave Equimanthorn Enter The Enternal Fire Chariot Of Fire 13 Candles Of Doom The Winds Of Mayhem (outro)

One of the unsung heroes of the black metal, death metal, viking metal music scene. Way back in 1983, this band started making unhuman metal, that shaped the entire black metal scene to this day. I was so stoked when i heard this stuff on the lost and the damn video game on the death metal station that I always listened to in the game. This music is so timeless for me and captures this dark evil energy that I love. Not many death metal bands do this for me.

I love this lp because of Call from the grave, my fav song by Bathory. This lp has this trash punk metal sound to it, almost like some old punk, but the troll like vocals make it sound otherworldly. I absolutely love the vocals. Screeching growl that everyone copied to death. I prefer the original guy who did it. He is dead now RIP Quorthon, you still inspire me.

My favorite tracks are Call From The Grave, Enter The Eternal Fire, Massacre, 13 Candles. Think filthy troll punk, at the mouth of hell singing about their countess Bathory. This music influenced so many bands after. This is before Napalm Death, and the grind core scene. Some of the songs on this get really fast like grind. Over all I prefer this stuff because its so evil.

If you are into black metal, and stuff like this, this is a must have. I give this an 8 out of 10. Click here to buy Under the sign of the black mark on mp3.
