Rick, did we bump into each other in the Miskatonic Forum years ago when we talked of metal from your country? I remember a good thread on old Portugal metal over there...V12 + many others..
Soon one of the best very early Metal bands from Portugal is going to have its demos released on tape and vinyl. I'm talking of the great Sepulcro. Keep watch.
But I'm diverging from the Black Cross topic, sorry.
Of course ! we aren't looking here for unamimity !
in the mid-80's all metalheads i knew laugh of Black Cross's music...
then 1 time i went to south margin for a gig of them and it was hundreds there to see them live...
so,it's a matter of love/hate band i'm afraid...
about Sepulcro the chat will be other because i love them !
