Label: R/C
Date: 1991
Track listing: (favorites marked with an '*')
[1] Into Everlasting Fire*
[This death metal gem holds one of my favorite death metal songs of all time, which I once had the honor of hearing and seeing live, the mighty 'Those Left Behind'.]

Label: Release Records
Date: 1997

[1] Cupid*
[Another great female fronted band. This CD contains two masterful dark tracks, 'Cupid' and my all time favorite 'Song of the Spider Queen'. Don't be fooled by appearances, this is some very cool and dark stuff.]

Label: Misanthropy Records
Date: 1994/95

[1] Feeble Screams From Forests Unknown
[Back in 1995 Misanthropy re-released Burzum's first self-titled effort and the EP Aske. Before this the only copies available were the Deathlike Silence release, and Aske, which was equally hard to obtain. The material here was produced from 1990-1992. There is no point in marking my faves, since I like it all so much. This is classic stuff.]

[1] Den onde kysten
[Grishnackh could only follow up the monumental first release with something equally, or more so, great. And he did. Det Som Engang Var is a legend unto itself. Once again, there is no point in marking my faves, since I like them all so much.]
[CD back]
Label: Nuclear Blast
Date: 1991

[1] Prophecy of a Dying World*
[Another great from 1991. 'Prophecy of a Dying World', the first track on the album, was superb and monumental.]
[CD back]
Label: Kraze
Date: 1989/1991

[1] The Lust
[Brazil's own Sarcofago are legendary pioneers of metal. Luckily, I stumbled upon the cassette of this when I was a mere twelve years old. I've loved this ever since.]
[CD back - Funny I've never noticed the vocalist's pants until now, in the middle. They say 'Sexual Maniac'! HA!]
Label: Castle Music
Date: 1970/1999

[1] In Ancient Days
[Another cassette I stumbled upon when I was very young was one called 'Metal Inferno', a compilation of strange and wonderfully obscure bands, including Black Widow. The track 'Come to the Sabbat' is beyond legend. It is mind boggling that they put this out in 1970.]
[CD inlay]
Label: Pavement Music
Date: 1993

[1] The Mirror Waters*
[To those who do not know, this is the original The Gathering, fronted by a male doing death metal vocals, with some female backing vocals. The newer The Gathering is fronted by a female and is nothing like the old band. I really like 90% of the songs here. It was an amazing work, filled with incredible atmosphere and feeling.]

Label: Projekt
Date: 1996

[1] El Pedregal*
[The first three Love Spirals releases are musical treasures, this being their third. The CD begins with one of the most ethereal and beautiful songs ever. The female vocals and atmosphere created by this band are amazing. Always a favorite of mine.]
[CD inlay]
Label: Avantgarde Music
Date: 1997

[1] Jerlov
[Here is a band that slipped under the radar of many, but created some fantastic and original music. The track 'Philosophical Revolt' is excellent.]
[CD inlay]
Label: Wewelsburg Records
Date: 2008
Track listing: (favorites marked with an '*')
[1] Revolution
[A very cool release. 'Final War' is an instant classic.]
