@neutrino3333 I completely agree. That explosion at 4:44 is such a climatic release from all the buildup of the song, only to flow right into the most devastating riff at the beginning of 'I am the Black Wizards'.
Truly monumental part of the album. It's just sad most people are too worried about whether Emperor or Mayhem are better? Wtf...they're both good, end of story, discuss Emperor.

2:34... boy oh boy :D

When I first heard this album it sounded to me like a mountain lion being raped in a broom closet...then I played it on a cold snowy night, just looking out the window and it hit me...I get it...this stuff is classic!

Every invention be it in music or science has contributing factors, all you can do is credit whoever made the breakthrough.

except it's -not- "all" that matters, because Blue Cheer didn't "invent". Sure they strung together influences to form a 'heavier' sound than many of their contemporaries, but you're still talking psychedelic rock melodies, and arguable, Vanilla Fudge, despite the singer, had a more "metal" sound. and recorded tracks several years earlier, but callling VF or BC the "inventors" would be kinda silly since neither of them can really be called such. Contributing factor != invention.

Blue Cheer released Summertime Blues in 1968. Atomic Rooster, Bloodrock, King Crimson, ELP, and Leafhound didn't even exist until 1969 or later, and Pink Floyd released Soundtrack from the Film More in 1969. I don't think they ripped Blue Cheer, they may not have heard of them for all I care, but Blue Cheer did it first, and that's all that matters.

Metal?
Blue Cheer? What about Atomic Rooster? Bloodrock? Aurthur Brown? King Crimson? ELP? Pink Floyd (Nile Song, Ibiza Bar) Leafhound? They're all just ripping Blue Cheer? I really don't think so.

Bah! Monteverdi invented classical music, Bill Haley invented rock, and Blue Cheer invented metal.



Emperor are my 2nd fave black metal band of all time, 2nd only to the master, the creator, the legend, the genius..Bathory.
