I honestly only have Empiricism, I am a relatively new fan. (and am very po' ) I have heard some of there other stuff, and am wondering which album I should get next...
I havent heard this Simen fellow, so I dont know much about his vocal stylings, but all my friends seem to say that The Archaic Course is there best.
I have heard Garm and he rules... but I also heard that the first two albums are more straight up black and less progressive ..
mmm.. honestly I think the organ and piano are TOO upfront in Empiricism so...
Which album do you think I should get next?

. To sum it up, it seems to be a straight ahead rocking metal album with folkish melodies/chord progressions, yet still maintains some elemnts of black metal. It is very guitar oriented, with synths coloring the music rather than leading it. The vocals are for lack of better description, unnatural! Simen comes up with some unexpected and absolutely chilling vocal melodies. If you can, check out Oceans Rise or Universal (first two track on the album), they should give you a decent feel for what the album is about.
