BARATHRUM "Legions of Perkele" CD 1998 ("In most of processes in the grimoires, Demons are subordinate to the magician, Or can be subordinated. But there is another group of rituals in which the force of evil is master and worshipped. Those connected with the pact with the devil, The witches' sabbat and black mass.")
"Castle stands on the islands of stone
It is surrounded by dark waters
Centuries on its place
For centuries more it shall do the same
It's history so cruel
The fort was cursed by eerie doom
There's a witch enclosed into the wall
No one knows exact place where
There's a tree on the wall
More than thirty feel tall
It is said it's roots
Grew from the heart of sorceress
Every night she haunts
On the corridors of fort
Her restless soul
Wanders in those huge halls
Autumn long time ago
The colossal stone fort
Inside that dark walled castle
Beautiful young female dwelt
Dark sorceress, daughter of the castle lord
Dark sorceress, worshipper of the Ramlord
Dark witch used black magic
Gestic magic in the war
In was against warriors
Wielders of the curved sabres
Dark sorceress, daughter of the castle lord
Dark sorceress, worshipper of the Ramlord
Another stormy night during that autumn of fights
The enemy broke the gates and came with their sharp blades
Sorceress casted the spell to protect the castle
She performed her rite against intruders with sabres
Sky turned to dark
The sorceress draw the mark
Mark of the Ramlord in the air
Strongest thunderstorm was created
Lightnings everywhere
Electricity in the air
Lightning casted the shadows
Of the Ramlord onto the wall
Enemy saw that shape
And because of that they escaped
The shadow of the Ramlord
On the wall of black powered fort
(Behold) dark sorceress, daughter of the castle lord
(Hark) dark sorceress, worshipper of the Ramlord...!"

Black Metal bands that Slow the Fuck Down!
The title may confuse you, honestly I’m still not sure what to title it, but I’m essentially going to be recommending a series of Black Metal bands that hardly or don’t use tremolo, are mid-paced, have an old school first-wave approach, or some sort of doom metal influence. Assuming you’re already familiar with Bathory and its slower moments I will be avoiding the more known bands.
Root
This really fucking raw and dark approach to heavy metal that sometimes borders on thrash metal with these slower grand moments, I would highly recommend their debut “Zjevení“ from 1990.
Master’s Hammer
The evil twin of Root, even though they’re both evil. Jokingly called the first “Norwegian Black Metal band” by Fenriz of Darkthrone (the joke being they’re Czech). If you give any of their albums a try I’d recommend “Ritual” from 1991.
Mortuary Drape
I’ve talked about them before on a post about the Italian metal scene, but essentially it’s this raw and primitive form of black metal that thrashes about. You may enjoy their debut “All the Witches Dance” from 1994. I feel I must clarify, my use of the word “primitive” here is more so in reference to the sound of the Old School, and not meant to imply anything that would give you the impression this is a Bestial Black Metal/War Metal or otherwise noisey band.
Barathrum
Black/Doom Metal band from Finland, their first few albums sound cavernous and yet fuzzy (God I wish they were on Spotify), but their later stuff is alright. Check out this song if you so dare.
Negative Plane
I’m not exactly sure how to describe this one, they’re definitely a unique band. I would definitely recommend them though.
Born for Burning
Specifically, the Swedish band that released “The Ritual” in 2019. Since they’re named after a Bathory song, you’d assume I’d recommend them to fans of Bathory, and you’d be right! Check this one out!!
Amen Corner
Root’s Brazilian cousin. I would recommend most highly their debut “Fall, Ascension, Domination”.
Decayed
I think this might be one of my favorite bands from the Portuguese scene, the speeds of their songs vary but I’d recommend this one.
Countess
This band is difficult to navigate through bc they have a lot of stuff that’s just eh. Surprisingly, the album I recommend most highly is not going to be their debut but their eighth album “Heilig Vuur”, I would also recommend this song.
Deinonychus
Oooo this is the juicy stuff. I would highly recommend “The Silence of December” and “The Weeping of a Thousand Years”, because texturally they’re some of the most interesting in all of extreme metal, at least in my opinion.
Samael
I’m not recommending all of this band’s discography, but particularly their albums “Worship Him” and “Blood Ritual”.
Diabolical Masquerade
The speed of their music varies and they have more traditionally second wave-esque songs, so I would recommend most highly this one.
Hades/Hades Almighty
For fans of Bathory, especially “Blood Fire Death” era. The double name is because they were formerly known as Hades but changed their name to Hades Almighty to differentiate themselves from an American band of the same name, but despite that they’re still known as “Hades” on some streaming platforms. I would recommend most their first two albums, “...Again Shall Be” and “The Dawn of the Dying Sun”.
Acheron
Sometimes closer to Death Metal, I would recommend “Rites of the Black Mass” on the warning that there’s really annoying and unnecessary intros to each song.
Ancient
While varying in speed, they don’t tend to rely on tremolos and blast beats as often as, say, Marduk. I would like to highlight their third album, “Mad Grandiose Bloodfiends” in particular, which has a flavor of vampirism and necromanticism and an excellent cover of Mercyful Fate.
Tyrannic
I would most highly recommend their sophomore release “Mortuus Decadence”, generally just some excellent black metal with influences from doom and traditional heavy metal.
Rotting Christ
Pioneers of the Greek-style of Black Metal, a style that blends more traditional heavy metal grooves with Black Metal. To recommend one album out of their discography, check out “Thy Mighty Contract”.

Barathrum - Fanatiko
Suomibläkypioneerien ja kivijalan yhdeksäs tuotos, jota sai odottaa saatanan kauan. Sisältää voimakkaasti sykkivää bassottelua (kahdella bassolla voi olla asian kanssa jotain tekemistä). Kokonaiskuvassa suhteellisen äkäinen, kiukkuinen ja rivakka. Tsekkaa Hellspawn, Pope Corpse Tattoo ja ensimmäinen suomenkieltä koskaan sisältävä Arx Satanas.
Lätty julkaistu huhtikuun 28, 2017. Spotify.

Monument of devastation
The broud bearers of the broken armed cross
Marching over fields and Alien Gods
A mountain of skulls to tell the story
Their victims united to witness his glory !
Marching hordes on the hill of the Nurn
I hope they all in their graves they turn !
In torchlit rows through the Jetblack night
Warriors of dark holocaust's bride ?"

"For the last time, I am NOT an 'eldritch horror'. I am merely a deity that wishes to live in peace, how my influence affects mortals or the changes they go through after submitting to me are not something I control. It is simply how I work.
And besides, referring to the Old Ones as 'horrors' is quite offensive, don't you know? You wouldn't give your next door neighbor insulting nicknames like that."
