And thats exactly what it did when i put my grubby hands on it. I, like most people who know of this band found out about them after seeing them live. Its something that you dont forget. This album captures that feeling so well. The production may sound awful to some, but to me its like the greatest tasting cup of tea. The follow up sounds extremely over produced in comparison. Songs oww the songs, fast fast and faster. Its all about procreation really each and everyone of em i think. I compare the to deicide they are satanists after all. Slayer some of the solos will leave kerry dribbling into his napkin while eating the pies. There british, so be proud that you picked a gem from the the british underground. Does anyone remember that T'shirt bearing the logo "She Like Me To Stand While.......". Ive still got it. Bids start at £100!!

I first saw Akercocke at their first gig. There were some guys in suits wondering around the venue, and I thought to myself, cynically "Oh great, another goth band..." HOW WRONG WAS I! They proceeded to blast their way through the most astonishing set of Satanic Death Metal I've ever witnessed (and that numbers a fair few). So I got the album. This is the most original, innovative album in the genre I've heard for a long time, incorporating electronica, samples and brutal blasting. The musicianship is fantastic and the songs exremely well written. If you've got this far, CLICK ADD TO BASKET. NOW!
AVE SATANAS!

Years on, I still don't consider this Akercocke's first album to be honest, and you'd think it'd be clear to anyone that this is merely a collection of demo recordings, which the other reviews on here make no mention of. I thought you should be warned: the songs on here sound like you would expect them to if you were aware that the band recorded them themselves for a giggle and discovered to their own surprise that a record label wanted to release them. That is to say, it sounds awful.
Yes, the typical Akercocke elements are there- bizarre chords, blasting for Satan and heaps upon heaps of sexual content- but they're almost totally lost in the sort of flat, self-funded production that amateur musicians without a producer were capable of back in the late 1990s. There are even a couple of demos recorded in the EARLY 1990s thrown into the mix that sound even worse! It's definitely a curio for 'Cocke fans but the five star reviews on this page are misleading. Perhaps if this had aspirations of intentional 'necro' production I could let it slide but it's clear from Akercocke's later efforts that this was never their goal. Save your money and start with Goat Of Mendes instead, which as far as quality and concentration are concerned is the REAL debut album from this mighty and truly unique band.
