DJ Fenriz' 40th Anniversary Vinyl Mix "Slow Black Death"

So, Gylve "Fenriz" Nagell—engine of Darkthrone and regular VICE/AFITFOG mixmaker—has made us a new mix. Well, actually, it is not new any more, thanks to thieving Royal Mail Christmas temps who clearly stole the two mixes he sent me last year. Being the insanely nice guy he is, he made this particular one to coincide with his 40th birthday last year, but, like I said, the knaves at the sorting office never delivered it to us. He works for the postal system in Norway and says in his time sending stuff (he sends A LOT of shit being the underground fiend he is) nothing has never not gotten there. So, instead of having him send it again I actually went and got it in person from the man himself last weekend while visiting his beautifully snow-laden country seeing bands he probably tipped me on over the past few years.

Here, finally, three months late, is DJ Fenriz' 40th Anniversary Vinyl Mix "Slow Black Death", and what a killer selection it is, encompassing many styles and perhaps, surprisingly, Diamanda Galás. The first time I met him, we hung out at his old Gambelyan flat, shooting the shit over old metal vinyls while he drank beers and I smoked itals. I am not sure how we got onto the subject, but he told me that while him and Ted (bandmate Nocturno Culto) were recording the legendary A Blaze In The Northern Sky, which just turned China, they would smoke hash and listen to Diamanda Galás. In the dark. He doesn't blaze any more, but man, from this mix that is almost hard to believe.

Anyways, here it is, enjoy it, and in the next month or so I will be posting the other mix he's done for us - a house mix. Yes, you read that correct.
