Motherland Ostenverg impressed me so much I downloaded the full album. I liked it after only 1 listen, which is pretty rare for me. Generally I pick up on an idea on any given track I *might* like and have to relisten a couple times to really wrap my head around it.
I absolutely loved the drumming in particular on this album. Creative, but always appropriate. The production was dirty, but not overwhelmingly so like some BM bands- just right! The riffing was good too... those long drawn out notes that straddle the line between melodic and dissonant. If you listened to 5 second sections of a song at a time it would seem rather dissonant, but taken into context over a longer period of time it's actually rather melodic.
