Label: Combat

[1] Black Metal*
[It is almost superfluous to add Venom Black Metal to this list, as this legendary album seems beyond this mere list.]

[1] Lunatic of God's Creation
[OK, so Glen Benton didn't kill himself as promised at 33, the age Christ died. This was still the beginning of a legend in death metal. This first release is one of those rare releases where nearly every track is a good one. Back in 1990 this was as cool as anything anyone had ever heard, and it still holds up nicely today.]

[1] Lunatic of God's Creation
[Before Deicide was called Deicide, they were known as 'Amon'. This CD reproduced the tracks from Amon's two demos, 'Sacrificial' (1989) and 'Feasting the Beast' (1987). The latter demo 'Feasting the Beast' shows Glen's vocals sounding amazingly dark and brutal, a style only found here.]

[1] Bypassed
[I never heard anything else from this death metal band, but '...In Pains' was a good album of the time.]

[1] At the Graves
[A classic if there ever was one. Conspiracy is as unique as King Diamond himself. A masterful work.]

[1] Eye of the Witch
[Although 'The Eye' didn't continue the story of 'King' from 'Conspiracy', much to the dismay of many, it proved to be another masterful work. Tracks like 'Two Little Girls' were amongst the best work ever by King Diamond.]

[1] Intro (Tireheb)*
[One of my favorite black metal albums of all time. Legendary stuff. As a side-note you should know that 'Black Jesus' plays Bass on this album. So then, all of you Christians, once and for all, your savior is indeed black.]

[1] Intro
[Before Pardise Lost changed their style and sound completely, they released Lost Paradise, which was a very cool death metal album. The song 'Our Savior' is classic.

Label: Atratus Music
Date: 1996

[1] Urok samotnosci
[There is only one Hefeystos track that I really like and that is 'Magiczny strumien', an awesome song, especially compared to the rest of the material. The female vocals (sung in Polish) are superb, as is the accompanying music. However, their next album lost my interest altogether.]
[CD back]
Label: Spinefarm Records
Date: 1998

[1] Revenge by Magick
[Legions of Perkele is one of the catchiest black metal albums ever written! An awesome album through and through.]
[CD tray inlay]
Label: NS Records
Date: 2008

[1] Zick, Zack, Kanackenpack
[Arisches Blut means Aryan Blood in German. This is a rare gem and a superb release. There are too many great tracks here to list my favorites, since they all are!]
