Would it be possible for you to add descriptions to the ones in the description that you included in the video? I guess not doing that is a good way to get my double view. Edit: specifically looking for the punky albums you mentioned uwu

[@Sabaoth23]

This is the best channel i discovered in a few months, but, after watched all your latest videos, i have flashbacks, visions of mighty African warlods from ancient times. I can't sleep now obsessed with those images, desperatly trying to remember where are they came from. Some dark conspiracy is spreading over youtube.

[@larsswig912]

Vektor is awesome

[@deektedrgg]

Recently got the Demlich' 20th Adversary of Emptiness double album, which contains an interview booklet with Antti Boman (frontman). Antti Boman talks about how the black metal fans ruined the local metal scene for him (and possibly others), and that it was a large reason why Demilich died (in the '90s). Learning that the death and black metal scene in '90s Finland were so interconnected, that certainly explains a lot. And now it makes me wonder if that's why the other Finnish death bands just vanished.

[@mimoso5335]

Most finnish death metal bands vanished quickly because of a lot of stuff, the number 1 reason being that they just got bored of playing death metal and lacked motivation (which explains why the bands that didn't vanish just started playing different genres). They also had obligatory military service and the rise of the black metal scene didn't help either. Other than that I guess they just grew up and moved on with their lives.

[@lordsomethingorother290]

12:20 For the uninitiated, you will never find a more unprofessional band in your entire life, and the reasons so many bands fail to capture their insane magic is because they try to imitate a band that themselves were neither trying to do anything nor sober enough to pull it off if they could. In the weird camp, I'll also throw in Scum's "Purple Dreams and Magic Poems", which is one of the strangest, most varied Melodic Death Metal albums you will likely ever find, and it rules.

[@semtexwiller]

Are you talking about Beherit or Archgoat?

[@lordsomethingorother290]

@@semtexwiller Beherit. What else could be said about the band that wasted it's budget for a debit album of n booze and just slapped some demos together to act as one instead?

[@Simotin]

I was born 1990 so I didnt see the early days, but I did witness close by the new bands emerging and the rather quick revival of the old bands. Truly remarkable thing and worthy of celebration as I have now seen live shows that I could not have even dreamed about at the point, before the newcoming of fdm! Absolutely love that you mentioned Protected Illusion, as I in fact predicted you would. A man (or spectre) with such study on the matter and refined taste is sure to appreciate a gem amongst stones. No pun intended, I swear. Stone are great!
