Yeah, I can see why it's divisive, people like the Viking stuff but I'll take the harsh, raw Bathory any day, Blood Fire Death is of course the one ring that binds them.

Listened to the full remix/redux of Foundations of Burden today. Still a killer album, but personally don't think it adds anything. Will give it another go with over-ear headphones and an aul schmoke though: only fair!

Now listening to the original version.

I was just looking at the artwork for it, which is pretty cool, haven't listened to the redux version. I may enjoy some herb and give it a spin since I'm in a doom mood.
