    Been listening to DsO since 2005 or so. ( I'm one of those who enjoys pre-SMRC almost as much as post...)
    This was long overdue.
    Thanks.

      Glad you enjoyed-keep an eye out, we’ll be coming back soon. And yes, I personally enjoy the two “Manifestations” EPs a lot. To me, they are what Darkthrone could have been. Less interesting philosophically and musically than their later output, of course, but fantastic OG black metal.

    Excellent analysis, that was pretty rad that Arvo Part came up in this, that surprised me a little bit. Can't wait for the next episode. Learning about the music is going to probably help me as a writer eventually when I get back to working on my own projects. Keep up the good work

      Thanks for the comment! That’s great to hear. The next part will be more conversational and focused more on philosophy, as Charlie is the one with technical musical knowledge and I’m just not equipped for that haha. But I hope you still find that part interesting, if not useful.
      Cheers

    Name-dropping baudrillard you might be interested in their lyrics and theology. It's pretty obscure and references the Bible and French mystics. Paracletus seems to be midrash which takes the holy Spirit (paraclete) to be Satan, or something. I don't get it
