2005 - So far, so good... so, what next?

[Barking Pumpkin]

'Once Was Not' is the next album that needs to leak now.

 

[Menhir]

is that the same Paleshift as the guy in Evercold and Frozenglare?

Yessir.

 

[CF87]

I was really disapointed with 'Tyranny of Souls'. The production,music did not even compare at all to Chemical Wedding or even Accident of Birth imo. I've come across some people that found is rather bland also.

 

[Menhir]

Tyranny of Souls was a mediocre release, it didn't have much "oomph" to it.

2. Nile - Annihilation of The Wicked
3. Mortem - De Natura Daemonum
4. Nokturnal Mortum - Weltanschauung

Mournful Congregation's "Monad of Creation" really sunk in last night, and now probably resides in my top 3.
