  1. Greetings,

    Listening to Bloody Roots on Sunday (7 Jan). The playlist posted here this week isn’t matching what’ playing.

    What’s playing is the songs from the Bloody Roots of New Music by Norway’s Black Metal Elite show.

    Just thought you should know. I’ll try and catch it again on Tuesday or Thursday.

    Cheers!

  2. Damn! Tell us how you really feel about Varg Vikernes… just kidding, he’s insufferable to listen to outside of Filosofem.

  3. If I’m not losing my mind, I believe you played a Taake song during this show, but it’s not listed. I was trying to figure out which song it was. Thanks.

  4. Something I just saw, the Classic Norwegian Black Metal show played around February 2014. So hopefully I catch it sometime in the future.

    Cheers!
