Free Music Notes for Black Metal
Free Music Review: Satan records the best notes....
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm still not sure if I like Welcome to Hell or Black Metal better. What's up with the way Cronos pronounces "Baphomet"? Wait, no, never mind that, it wasn't really any issue I was thinking about.
It is clear that the Black Metal genre got its name here, but whatever Cronos and the crew have said, sonically it resembles something like Motorhead a bit more. Of course, you could perhaps argue that since they came up with the term, this is Black Metal, and everyone since has just been doing it wrong. What can be said in that respect is that the sound quality is horrid, it's trebly, there is a lot of nonsense about Satan, and of course it's three guys with funny pseudonyms wearing a lot of spiked leather. On the other hand, "Teacher's Pet" just kind of ruins it. This is clearly closer to regular heavy metal, regardless of what genres it may have inspired.
Historical implications and weird pronunciation aside, I can move on to say this is a great album, provided you are prepared to deal with some really dirty-sounding, muddy, demo-sounding stuff. I don't have the remastered versions, but I've read that they, too, reveal the limitations of the source recordings, so to speak. Once you get past that, the riffs are great and the songs are quite catchy. "Countess Bathory" is an excellent song and undoubtedly influenced a lot of band's preoccupation with the Blood Countess. Definitely my favorite song on the album, though the title track is a lot of fun too, and reminds us that "Satan records the best notes."
Besides "Teacher's Pet," I really like all of this, but if you didn't like Welcome to Hell, you probably won't, because it's really just more of the same. It's fairly simplistic, and the sound quality is crap, but the whole is more than the sum of its parts here. It works, and that's what matters.
