I might of thought better of this song had my attention not been placed on these shit lyrics.
Yeah reading along with the lyrics as it played took away from the song. I feel like they're gonna go down the behemoth path and get all weirdo death metal

Still one of the best bm bands of the 2000s by far.
I mean, they're kinda lame at this point, but you do realize they tour the world playing clubs and not custard shops on Thayer street, right?
Fair enough point, but using the term "limited" for a record that has 2000 copies strikes me as kind of odd when you compare it to bands out there that struggle to push 300 copies of their record, even if Watain has been around for over a decade, toured the world, and played bigger venues compared to the types of bands I keep the company of.
TL;DR version: I would be psyched if I ever got to put out that many copies of anything my band ever did, even if it didn't sell fast.
