I'm back, with a new receiver, and eager as hell to continue this venture!

Bethlehem - Sardonischer Untergang Im Zeichen Irreligiöser Darbietung (LP)
1998 (Red Stream Inc.)
Album title reads S.U.I.Z.I.D. and you get that feeling, Bethlehems early albums was so friggin' dark and angstridden so nothing could compare. Not as great as Dark Metal or Dictius Te Nicare, but great anyway.

Bethlehem - Reflektionen Auf's Sterben (12'')
1998 (Red Stream Inc.)

Birdflesh - Alive Autopsy (LP)
2001 (Leather Rebel Records)
Bought this around it's realease. Birdflesh are always funny, but re-listening this also made it very clear that musically they make excellent grindcore as well.

Birdflesh - Catheter - Time To Face Extinction (Split-LP)
2004 (Civilisation Records)
Not as good as Alive Autopsy and Catheter isn't anything special.

Birdflesh - Mongo Musicale (LP)
2006 (Candlelight Records USA)
A bit harder, more metal and better recording than Alive Autopsy. Alive Autopsy may live a little more on nostalgia, since it was the first album I heard and I probably got this a couple of years after its release. But lyrically it isn't as amusing as AA.

Boys Next Door (The Birthday Party) - The Birthday Party (LP)
1980 (Missing Link)
Originally released as the Boys Next Door album, re-released two years later as a Birthday Party album.
I consider Birthday Party to be one of the most important artists/groups/bands in my life. The early Nick Cave albums (which we'll come to eventually) have also played a very significant role. The arrogance in the music, the darkness in the lyrics, the danger constantly present in the sound and the snottyness in the Birthday Party phenomenon is amazing.
