Albums currently kicking your ass

basically my feelings go like this: only bands to reach the level of tracks 2-5 are, er, sacramentum on one song. the chasm deathcult being a kind of overawed third, and the band's own debut further back still...

Look, the herons in the greenbilled water
Their wet-ash wings wear medalions of patience
We drift on...
We have stories as old as the great seas
Break through the chest
Flying out the mouth
Noisy tongues that once were silenced
All the oceans we contain, coming to light

All the dark birds rush from the river
Leaving only the stillness of their language
There are no clocks to measure time
But the beating of our single hearts
You will know it is winter
By the way your dreams tremble like stones
When the wind comes through
The wind, full of hearts that beat quick and strong

Epic album, fucking epic.

Intophagist has been going on about that Kalmah album for over a year now? You guys just noticed?! Also he's not that bad when he doesn't promote Black Dahlia Murder
 
Epic Dickinson-style vocals, falsetto choruses, folk-rock melodies, and uninspired drumming doesn't click with me. Sorry budz :) (referring to Shadow Gallery)
