Attention:

It seems like a lot of our past posts have had the download links removed. I don't know why, but it appears to be random. Its not all the albums, but its still a significant enough amount that I'm not going to re-upload and fix them. If you would like to download one of the albums that are inaccessible, send an email to octagion@aim.com and I'll re-upload it and send you the link. I just don't want to waste time re-uploading albums that people may not download, so just let me know if you need an album that you can't get.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Agoraphobic Nosebleed - Agorapocalypse

One of my favorite grind albums. There seems to be a lot of confusion regarding the track listing though. Most downloads say there are thirteen tracks. There are actually 14. The first track is hidden. At the start of the CD, you have to hold down the back button to rewind it and it will go into negative time. Around 3:16 or so, the actual first song (Timelord Zero) begins, and the time counts down to 0:00, then the second song begins. Kinda strange. I've only found a couple other CDs that do that. Anyway, enjoy!

0. Timelord Zero (Chronovore)

1. Agorapocalypse Now
2. Timelord One (Loneliness of the Long Distance Drug Runner)
3. Dick to Mouth Resuscitation
4. Moral Distortion
5. Hung from the Rising Sun

Darkthrone - A Blaze In The Northern Sky

Last night, a snow storm hit my town and dropped the most snow we've gotten this year. There was snow almost waist high in some spots in my driveway (that was a bitch to shovel, but that's a whole different story), and the wind is howling and its really fucking cold. So lets celebrate the first big snowstorm with some classic cold Darkthrone albums! More specifically, the 3 classic Peaceville releases and the one right after. Perfect for winter.

First up, A Blaze In The Northern Sky, the first of their black metal material and one of 2 albums by them with 4 members (more if you count demos). This was the last album to feature session bassist Dag Nilsen and 2nd to last to feature guitarist Zephyrous (who is also on the cover).

1. Kathaarian Life Code
2. In The Shadow of the Horns
3. Paragon Belial
4. Where Cold Winds Blow
5. A Blaze in the Northern Sky
6. The Pagan Winter
