teen this is what my life has become. |

Beneath The Remains
My older cousin (a die-hard Sarcofago fan) gifted me this when I was very young in
the hopes of getting me away from the Blink-182 videos on television. Though for a
while they both occupied my mind to an equal degree, after about a year metal had
completely engulfed my existence. |

Nightclubbing
Though I am far too young to have been around for rave's original coming, I was
lucky enough to have a club in my town dedicated to recreating that scene. Though
after a few tries I decided I hated E, I still went quite often just to hear the tunes
and talk to the DJs. The music remains special to me. |

The Celtic Winter
My town has a pretty big extreme metal scene, not really concerning bands (sadly
enough), but definitely so with shops and collectors of a very high quality. I started
hanging around those places at around age 13 and got to know many very
interesting people who had been into extreme metal since its very inception. It is
through those friendships that recently I was gifted an original pressing of this
album on vinyl, hand-numbered by Mr. Darken himself, number 443 out of 666. |

I will insist on this forever, this is the best black metal to come out of the new
millenium. If they had different political beliefs, or rather, none at all, they would
be absolutely huge. But I wouldn't trade that swastika on my album sleeve for the
world ;) |
