Blessings of the Highest Order

by Thou

supported by

rettisawesome Nirvana, for whatever reason, was my gateway to metal and heavy music in general. So this brings me full circle. The covers are really faithful but only as Thou can deliver it. Favorite track: Aneurysm.

wolf4hire This is one of the heaviest things that I have ever heard. It is absolutely amazing and has made a lot of albums in my collection feel obsolete! These songs were made to be converted this way! Kurt would be proud! Well done Thou! I doubt I will ever be able to listen to In Utero ever again! You just can't backtrack after hearing this. Favorite track: Milk It.

JDMP In many ways, I was born slightly too late to be someone who *seriously* got into Nirvana. I have to say that I owe my current interest in Nirvana to Thou. These covers are amazing (and heavy). Favorite track: Aneurysm.

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
