Thanks for sharing this! I love it. It sounds like they've listened to the original a lot, and it's yet more evidence that musicians love Lana. If you're listening to the radio broadcast, it starts at 1:22:00. Apparently the radio show is only up for a couple of weeks, so hopefully someone grabs this.

Not just the audio, but it's here: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8v15sk I hate dailymotion, but at least it's still online.

That looks AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWFUL.

I'm jealous of you! Really, I'm glad you had a great time. A good friend of mine has managed to see a bunch of these shows this year and it all sounds amazing. The new DG album is excellent too, and my favourite song is the one that Romany sings!

I happened to be watching the show 'Loudermilk' on Netflix (about a recovering alcoholic ex-music reviewer), and in the third season, Lissie is a vital and major part of the season arc! Highly recommended as a show in general, but especially if you're a fan.

It would be just an error in the camera's clock. There were no shows in early 2022.

@X8vinylScratchX I'm continuing this very interesting (to me) conversation here, because I'll feel less guilty than continuing to post very niche content in the 'What Are You Listening To' thread. Goregrind (a genre I absolutely love) is something that Carcass created out of whole cloth. And while their visuals/covers were gross, they were also smart in a way most of the imitators rarely were. They also introduced a generation of kids to the thesaurus and medical dictionary, which they don't get enough credit for! I will always love Hammerheart - I bought an original vinyl copy at the time which I still own (even though it's pretty beaten up), and is one of my favourite possessions. Even though they'd already done A Fine Day To Die, which even everyone who had always hated Bathory seemed to like, Shores In Flames gave me chills hearing it on radio after midnight on the Death Metal show. And Twilight of the Gods was also incredible. Well, this message board loves ranking lists, so here is my grade for all the Bathory records: Bathory - 8/10 - Nepo baby Quorthon uses his connections to record an actual real record, and the evil goat on the cover gets misprinted in Yellow instead of evil gold. People who filed away their copies instead of laughing and throwing it out the window are now millionaires. Might or might not involve a musician and filmmaker who would later end up making videos for Lady Gaga (among a hundred others). The Return…… - 9/10 - I used to stare at this record at the local hellhole record store, wondering what on earth it sounded like. It had a cool picture of the moon on it and not much else. When I finally heard it, it was of course close to perfection. Under the Sign of the Black Mark - 9/10 - The record Quorthon said he hated the most, but what does he know. Great front cover featuring a shot 'stolen' during intermission of an opera. I hope the patrons who were refilling their drinks and buying peanuts are aware how close they were to true greatness. Blood Fire Death - 9/10 - The first epic Bathory album, and although not quite a concept album, it still had the strongest overall sense of storytelling and felt like an actual opera. Hammerheart - 10/10 - Quorthon changes label to Noise International, at the point when almost every other band was trying to leave them. They botched the long form video he wanted to make for it, but they couldn't kill the vibe of the record. One of those records that stands alone in the history of music, like the first Suicide record or Born To Die. Twilight of the Gods - 9.5/10 - Really really good, but it's a part two of the perfection that was Hammerheart. I was trying to turn people at my school on to this record, but it was too progressive for the metal guys, and too metal for everyone else. Oddly, I never owned it, and to this day only stream it. Requiem and Octagon - Even more oddly, I did buy Octagon on CD, because it was $5, and I thought, 'how bad can a Bathory record be for $5?' Talk about innocence lost. I don't even want to give it a grade. Apparently Requiem is similar, which was enough for me never to want to hear it. Blood on Ice - 8/10 - A very good record that might have changed the world if it had come out in 1989. As it was, it came out when the world was in the thrall of black metal, and epic metal was a few years away from anyone caring about it again. In retrospect it's a great record, but it definitely slipped through the cracks. Destroyer of Worlds - 7/10 - I completely missed this one, and any time I go back to it, I forget it about it straight away. I think I like it? Nordland I and II - 9/10 - See my comments for Destroyer of Worlds, although these are much better. I need to go back and listen to them with 2024 ears instead of 2010 ears (when I first listened to these). bonus review - the May 1984 sessions (Witchcraft and Satan My Master, from Juileum III) - 12/10 - Even though Quorthon shit talked Hellhammer in interviews, this is the greatest Bathory recording ever made, and it sounds just like the Swiss maniacs' demos. If there was a whole record like this, I would be in heaven. Or wherever.

Ah, cool! I would recommend listening to the rest of 'Leprosy' then - it's one of those records that if you like one song, you'll probably like them all. As for other recommendations, here's a song I always used to put on when I was annoyed at somebody specifically (rather than in a 'fuck the world' sort of mood).

Death are like Carcass, in that they have two very different 'eras' with fans of both who seem to hate the other era - either the early, boneheaded simplistic badly produced stuff (which I tend to favour), or the later, technical guitar hero stuff. Death's 'Spiritual Healing' is like their 'Necroticism', which bridges the two. I still remember the confusion and anger when Necrotiicsm came out, and how the older fans called Carcass sellouts for it. (The only comparable thing was when Hammerheart came out from Bathory, and we all lost our minds that there was actual singing on the record I'd definitely consider Carcass death metal, at least until they became a rock band a few years later. Napalm Death became all death metal by Utopia Banished, and Repulsion were always in their own world. Autopsy are absolutely one of the best bands ever, but I never even listened to them until about a decade ago, mostly put off by their record covers I guess! I'm not a fan of brutal death metal, so can't comment on that (except for Skinless, who are amazing).

A perfect extreme metal album. Have you heard the band Gruesome? They're almost a Leprosy era Death revival band.

Plastic punk at its best Never in a million years did I imagine someone would post a song from this record. On any forum, anywhere.

I looked on Google Scholar and although there are quite a few articles on Lana, none seemed to specifically be about water. Do you have access to academic journals? If you're doing any sort of post-secondary study, you should be able to access these. On your subject, I'm glad somebody's looking into this! I had the idea a few months ago of writing about her connection more specifically to 'the Ocean', but your topic is just as interesting. If you end up doing any writing, I'd love to see it.

Other than shit talking them, I can't remember Lana ever acknowledging a remix.

There's a few of us, but most I meet here or elsewhere tend to be older (not elderly, as some would have us, but let's just say older than Lana herself).

If nothing else, it will make sure she'll never shop there again.
