saw blackguard on the summer slaughter tour like 10 years ago at the marquee in tempe. met Etienne by the buses and smoked a swisher?/black and mild? with him. cool dude.
I remember when my friend introduced me to this song (and just Blackguard in general) back in 2009, I was blown away, and I still enjoy listening to this freakin epic stuff
It just occurred to me just how absolutely weird this album cover is. Like, did they rob that castle in the background and then escaped in their flying canoe? Do the guys with paddles get mad at the guy drinking with the imp? Is that an imp? What is that? What is it doing? Drinking or assaulting or just saying "Hello, Gentlemen" and congratulating them on their success? Why does it only have one arm?Aside from that, bands great, albums great, and these guys and gal are even better live. Ablaze must do a metric ****ton of cardio.
