Great to hear Hazel again! Pacific NW locals back in the day. Good times.

Singer guitarist, Pete Krebs soldiering on through personal health crisis as of late, inspired and driven to continue to still be creating music as well.

Thrillhammer, seminal early 90's Portland, Oregon sounds, prior to bands Hazel & Pond, both whom had releases later on Sub Pop then. Cool to see the Thrillhammer stuff on youtube, obscure stuff outside of Portland for most.

Any opinions on Bathory

[Statto]

Any opinions on Bathory

I listened to these during my metal binge...

Bathory - Bathory (1984)
Bathory - Under the Sign of the Black Mark (1987)
Bathory - Nordland I (2002)

can't say I was especially excited by them

Bathory... like most early black metal, often includes punky influences, then if the band lasts long enough to evolve, then gets a bit more conceptual later on, which did occur. "Bathory" lp circa 1984 sounds very much like an 80's hardcore aesthetic to my ears. A lot of the emphasis on early black metal was in the vocals, trying to create an identity as a reaction or contradiction to whatever was popular within metal, or music in general at the time. Hardcore punk had the same impetus - to stoke, prod, get a reaction, wake people up, get the blood pumpin, get people moving, quick, often uniform releases - very much creating a more physical outlet for rawk music. Of course bands like Bathory cannot be denied their blueprint status in specific equations, I also see their merits as a specific time capsule of more conceptual energies explored within the band's catalog, which obviously people respond to to this day.

I don't think Bathory is funky. But that wasn't the question either. lol. Structure vs chaos, very much a dichotomy debate within the histories of metal vs punk forever. Bathory circa 1984 vs... Siege circa 1984?

I'll give it to Siege for the ass kicking factor. I need more craziness sometimes. Ya get me?

..Portland, OR black-doom powerhouse, MIZMOR has joined forces with multi-instrumentalist (and live musician for MIZMOR) ANDREW BLACK to create a masterful collaboration titled, Dialetheia. Two expansive and introspective tracks fill space with undulating soundscapes - exploring bleak and beautiful isolation. Haunting and hypnotizing, the endless waves of sonic nostalgia emerge triumphantly through sirens of solace and meditative winds.

MIZMOR songwriter, A.L.N. and ANDREW BLACK began their collaboration during the COVID-19 pandemic through file sharing. "We made this album remotely, sending audio files back and forth over the internet, piecing them together like a collage, expanding on each others work, and producing modulations and modifications using tape and outboard gear to strike upon a certain sound. It was a somewhat inconvenient and novel approach to an album’s creation that accounts for a lot of beautiful quirks and otherwise-not-tried ideas," shares A.L.N.

Overwhelmed by a sudden sense of traditions and ways of life being made obsolete, the duo imagines one walking through a museum of our nostalgia and past times. Lingering on the feeling of being both the observed and the observer in the scene and similarly, like one looking at both through the glass and the scene on the other side, further expanding to touch on the dualist illusion of the self. "In this great experiment called civilization, we are both the experimenter and the subject".

Video filmed and edited by Emma Ruth Rundle.
