A collection of live recordings from 666, a Norwegian antecedent to Mayhem whose Satanic aesthetic and live predated the more infamous black metal band. In terms of sound, 666 was very closely aligned with Venom and Mot?rhead, who (along with The Stooges) are both identified as primary influences. In fact, the band was known to regularly perform a live rendition of the Kingsmen’s “Louie, Louie” that very much resembled Mot?rhead’s own cover of the same song. Thus, in its musical essence, the band bore a greater likeness to the pre- and proto-black-metal that gave rise to the Norwegian sound, as opposed to the result itself. On the other hand, its moniker and other song titles like “Lucifer” clearly reflected a Satanic element which to that point had not been present in the Norwegian scene
