I will say that they seemed like an odd pick to open up for Kreator and Accept the last time I saw them live, but they fucking ROCKED. So effing heavy; I was already a fan, but their live performance solidified it for me.
I like them, particularly their earlier death/doom stuff. Their debut is one of my fav death/doom albums, for me they've never really been able come close to that one. I really haven't been as crazy about their more recent efforts.
A triple album is certainly brave, I am intrigued by each disc being a different style particularly the one they are saying is going to be funeral doom. I can't wait to hear that disc in particular, hope they can pull it off.
1st single SWALLOW THE SUN feat. Aleah - Heartstrings Shattering (Lyric video). From the album "Songs from the North I, II & III" out on Nov 13. 2015 (in Europe)
2nd single - Pray For The Winds To Come (Lyric Video).
Still digesting all 3 discs. They are all very different but equally incredible. This is going to take a few listens to really grasp all that's going on here. Amazing stuff!!
