Mysteries

[Circlepit]

Listened to this properly yesterday. Some parts are brilliant.
I listened to the Veles stuff as well.
That's really good. The Black Hateful Metal release is intense.
Not something I'd be inclined to go back to.
Are those type of recordings a tape recorder on the corner of the room or how is it done?

It reminds me of am English band called Capel Beulah.
Having said that Capel Beulah sound like they intentionally enemy for that sound whereas Veles ended up with it.

You should check out the Veles/Legion split. As far as I remember the Mysteries vocalist was in Legion too. Total raw chaos in the vocals department. My wife rarely makes any comment when she comes in to the room and the BM is on, but that split warranted a "what the fuck are you listening to" 

One of my local dealers had that in stock last time I looked but I'm smashed at the minute so it may well be gone when I get to it. But yeah, his vocals are pretty screechy in Mysteries too.

You should try to get the Legion / Darken split instead of the split with Veles. All the Veles split has is the first demo Triumph. Darken is what Legion would eventually become and on that split you get a few different versions of the songs. They only have four songs so it's nice to have the alternative versions.

That's actually a peeve of mine. I hate when there are multiple versions of the same songs on a recording. I get why bands do it, it's a complete documentation, but just give me one demo version and I'm happy. I don't need the ropey rehearsal and live version recorded in someone's boot
