Mayhem - ancient skin (not Wolf's Lair Abyss version)

Mayhem - ancient skin.
album : Ancient Skin/Necrolust EP.
Norway, black metal 1997.

This track was on a "Hard Rock Special Metal Extreme compilation vol 1"

I prefer this version to the Ancient Skin on Wolf's lair EP.

I've never listened to the "Ancient skin/Necrolust EP".

I don't know...maybe it's the same version that was on my old compil.

It comes from a "Hard Rock Extreme compilation".

@dentos01 Absolutely, same here... Mayhem's type of black metal is different, is a mixture of progressive, industrial and others genres, very creative and super technical (courtesy of grandmaster HH)... In my opinion it deserve always a perfect recording, and i was a bit disappointed for Ordo Ad Chao, because is a masterpiece but the padded sound ruins it a bit...

amazing thanks for uploading

Interesting to hear the rougher sound but I actually prefer the more atmospheric and polished version on Wolf's Lair Abyss.

[TheButcher1981]

This is the best version, violent like a fist in the face.

Garganoa is right, it's on the Ancient Skin EP

And I agree with him, I prefer this version over the Wolfs Lair Abyss one.

I also discovered that track way back in that old magazine

Fucking awesome and devastating

truly, i've never heard something so dramaticly disturbing during my long black metal jorney, a unique piece, (and i gat it uhuhuh)

[blowupthosepigs]

Yes, it come from Hard Rock Extreme compilation, buy it during my military service, pure fucking hate !

I believe this is the version that was released as a single with Necrolust as a B-Side. I actually prefer this version over the one that made it to the Wolf's Lair Abyss EP.
