the first half which is a batch of acoustic songs is par for the course for death in june, it's pretty enjoyable imo; the second half however, is some of the worst noise music i've ever heard
this era of gira and jarboe's music is fascinating, i absolutely adore michael gira's acoustic guitar stuff in general so this is right up my alley. i dont know why the skin albums arent talked about more, to me they're enchanting neofolk; dark, beautiful but also menacing, there's a sense of reservedness to the skin albums that i can't get enough of
this album is my favorite one from darkthrone, i cant really explain it i just CRAVE the exquisitely yummy drum playing and raw and organic sound of the whole album. the harsh vocals by fenriz are very jagged and that made it initially hard for me to get into goatlord, however i love them now; he also experiments by clean singing in a feminine voice and it's juxtaposed to his harsh growls, it's fascinating imo
wow.. i found this album to sound shockingly good for a 1984 power electronics release. the consumer electronics tracks are especially entertaining to hear a very young (15yo?!? 😭) Philip Best shouting dirty words
