We talk about this one a lot on the show, because it helped us figure out some important stuff about BM history - in particular, the crucial question, "Who did what riffs when?"

Impaled Nazarene - Suomi Finland Perkele (Osmose, 1994)
Carpathian Forest - Black Shining Leather (Avantgarde Music, 1998)
