You know, you just kind of heard a little preview of where our focus will be, a little fantastic little sitar intro kind of signaling, you know, this is a nuclear blast, Swedish death metal release in 1992, and there wasn't a lot of sitar that you probably heard in that era.
I think the party.
at the time I had a couple of Robbie Shanker records.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Of course the party, uh, our good friend, Peter Sellers, you know? Yes.

Yeah, constant time changes.
Yeah.
More doom than you would expect on the whole record.
yeah
he's got these agony vocals he's he's really all over the place he's super he's the one of the most dramatic death metal vocalists of this era um I feel like there's a lot of...
I'm going to talk
about that for sure.
There's
definitely some amorphous crossover kind of stuff.
