i like that HBB is defending a heavily bathory-influenced album against CiG itt
BLIZZARD BEASTS is their most weird and warped album, always really liked it. i get why pure BM heads wouldn't as it has more death and thrash in there, lotsa MA vibes, but w/e it rules. BATTLES is probably their most savage, direct, relentless album so hardcores should be all over that shit. i prefer the first two as well but the next two don't deserve to ignored. more or less everything from ATHoW onward bores me though
