This is disappointing, but I guess I’m not too surprised…

The recent deluge of bad Burzum makes me wonder what might have been if Varg hadn’t gone to prison. Was the the downward musical slide inevitable, and just delayed by the fact that he wasn’t really able to put out albums in the klink? Or is it solely because he needs the cash and is rushing to put out everything he can think of? I’d like to hope for the latter, but the history of metal in general suggests the former.

Yep. It’s really bad.

First I’d like to say that I never obtained a copy of Songs of Sorrow. Nor did I ever get the privledge to hear the final product. I parted ways with Larry Sapp and the band shortly before the release for personal reasons. I am still friends with Demian Heftel but I have not spoken with Tony Laureano in years. Like you, I preferred the “L.S.D” demo and sound. I did hear a couple of tracks from “S.O.S” and I agree that although a very good production, the sound lacked the mighty sound that was once Astaroth. Anyway, my influences have always been the thick, heavy and raw “Swedish” style and sound. For those that care, I played a Charvel/Jackson bass through an Ampeg SVT. And I loved bands like Dismember/Carnage, Entombed, Edge of Sanity, etc… Keep em’ tuned down and stay heavy \”/
