Baphomet like much early death metal represented the human subconscious, and the riff patterns and rhythms used in its songs reflect the thoughts just below our level of perception, a kind of framework to life discovered underneath the human hubbub, plastic, and chrome.
Sevared Records has just re-issued the first Baphomet album with the alternate mix that was described as crunchier and rougher by those who heard it. The label released the following description:
25+ years later the mighty Baphomet from Buffalo NY releases their rarely heard brutal death metal “test pressing ” crunchy total speed death recorded in the glory days of the Buffalo Death metal scene! Awesome quality studio recording with 2 bonus live tracks!

In other news, LG Petrov has been struck by cancer and he is undergoing chemo treatment.
Very sad. More properly: he has been triaged by a socialized medicine system, which has decided that it can no longer afford treatment for him since they have deemed his cancer “incurable.” The appeal is through a site that bans Right-wingers. Thus, while we might find it sad that this is the case around here, we’re not reporting on it :)
Just another [Chinese flu] statistic, nothing to see here.
