#1305 Bathory - Under the Sign of the Black Mark

I don't wanna be a black metal philistine, but what the unholy fuck is with goblin voice? I'm all for the thrash, this chugs on like a thresher of souls with a busted bolt, whip whip whip whip -- soul soul soul soul -- fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck yall. All sheetmetal guitar that cuts your brain in half, all drums that crush the chaff to dust.

But why you gotta be all _eeeeeeuuuaaauuuuughhhhhhhh_ over shit. It sounds goofy as hell.

This wins at *something*. It fosters palpable unease, it gets in your subconscious brain and bores around and makes you think that humanity is rotten at the core. But if your *conscious* brain ever pokes its head up it's gonna go "this guy sounds like a fucking 14 year old trying to sound scary" and it breaks the whole illusion.

Your millage will vary directly proportionally to your ability to deal with goblin voice 3/5
