The first two discs in an edition ...

* Value For Money *, one can only say! The Edition * 1987-1992 * includes just the first two slices of Swiss Black Metal troop * Samael *. No more and no less. No bonus tracks, no B-Sides, but the unadulterated and inky tracks of the original LPs reasonably mastering.

* Worship Him * first appeared in 1991 and was produced by the band itself. The musical direction of the group led by the two chiefs Vorphalack and Xytras was clear from the blackest blackest black metal. The songs are raw, atmospheric and morbid and a treasure trove for fans of black metal. Lyrically remains one of the line that has been devised by Venom and Bathory, completely loyal, but somehow lacking in this regard karrikierenden trains. It will not shake the feeling that * Samael * the botch even believe that they mortise there and really like the name of the disc says the Incarnate homage.

* Blood Ritual * first appeared in 1992 by Waldemar Sorychta (Despair / Grip Inc.) was produced and already comes a whole corner catchy therefore. The music itself has fewer rough edges, but is nevertheless not to be referred to as commercially to still hard enough. The texts are on the same wavelength as at the predecessor and be presented with a seriousness that they are fun again, even though the band seemed to lack any trace of humor. Well, everyone is responsible for his faith itself, and whoever wants to can thereby lock in a corset is your own fault.

My vote is clear: * Worship Him * whopping 5 points - * Blood Ritual * moderate 4 points - the lyrics are strange Satanistenmumpitz, which you can believe it, but stop just not necessarily believe or even have to take seriously - 1 point. Thus arises for me a total of Appreciation from rounded 4 stars ...
