THAT is confusing. Sort of takes the edge off the rest of the album, which is potent enough. |

| Kinda worthless trivia: That "neener neener neener" thing in Pace 'till Death is used in a Swedish children's taunt -- "du kan inte ta mig", meaning "you can't catch me." |

| A part that always makes me laugh - in a pleasant derailed-rollercoster-sort-of-way - is the drumming in the first break in "Total destruction" by Bathory. WHAT does that guy think he is doing? |

A more famous paraphrase would be the chorus of "Do you really want me?" off the first Robyn album. Now we're knee-deep in Swedish pop culture trivia. |

Hahahaha, holy fucking balls, I had never thought of that! And I remember a time when you couldn't go down to the store for a Piggelin without hearing that song at least six times...! |

Some things I do not want to be reminded of! Really want a Piggelin now.
Agree on the Bathory song.
And Disgusting Semla.
I also remember the first time I listened to Ad Hominems split Purification with the French hip hop intro on Total Volkermord. Blew my mind.

we also have that taunt here in Denmark, though I dont think we have lyrics for it- you just sneer "NA NA NA, NA NA, NAAA" and maybe finish of with "dumbfuck"

| The banjo part on Taake's Myr @ 3:20 was pretty wtf at first listen. Not that it is too bad tho. I actually find it pretty hilarious. |

Funny to see that "na na na na na naaa" is more universal than I would have expected. Kids definitely say that in the US. Usually followed by a random taunt.

In 1990, in an interview for a Finnish rock magazine Rumba, Quorthon talked about the image vs. real life. He said that (translation by me);
| Quote: | | On our previous album there's a song called Pace 'till Death. I tried to include some humour into it. I started the song with a childrens rhyme and one part in the lyrics goes "mirror mirror on the wall/I'm the fastest of 'em all". I was certain that everyone would understand that I'm not completely serious with it. But no! People complained that "why you have that stupid part in the beginning, that's stolen from some Venom song, ain't it?". Then it dawned on me that people are not just stupid, they are beyond stupid. |
In another interview he said that
| Quote: | | Actually, that line you came up with from "Pace `Til Death" was me making fun of the competition - who is the fastest of them all? Some people didnīt take it as a joke. They thought we were serious. |
None of this will of course change the wtf-feeling you get when listening to it, but maybe you can see it as Quorthon's IQ test. 
Turning by Xysma has a last line (3.06-3.10) that might be hard for hardliners to swallow ;
