I wouldn't know if this band is worth listening to today, but they still tour and have new releases so maby I should check it out. Anyway, one evening in the year 1984 (or was it 1985?) we sat down to listen to this new band from Germany. The title "in the sign of evil" was irresistible - of course :-)

Now, you might find that this album is more of a relic than a master piece. And you wuld be right. It isn't necessary a record to be played without the intention of just looking into the 80ies.

But if you have that intention, this is a record that impressed us all. It was agressive and fast, and it was new. I still play it from time to time, and enjoys the album. Mayhem rehersals often included playing some covers just to warm up, songs from this record where among those.

I never had the oportunity to see them live, but "In the sign of evil" was - and still is - a very important record in my collection. If you want to find a relic and see if you like it, here's your chance. And Sodom; if you ever visit Oslo, I'll be in the audience  :-)
