id be willing to give that Sacramentum album another shot after that last Dissection vs Sacramentum controversy, but if im being honest here i like that album less and less each time i hear it. Basically the opposite of @Phylactery. But fuck it, im gonna throw it on later tonight.

you should do track ratings, i'm intrigued to see if they'd be like mine or the total opposite lol

i'll do it just for you babe.
edit: Looks like ive already rated the first four songs, three 4's and a 3 1/2. Those are probably old as fuck though. I'll go through it again tonight for sure

special album i think; fluid, dreamy songwriting built around the most evocative melodies of any BM in a while.

I can't remember if I've heard any Sorcier des Glaces. I'll check that one out.

really enjoyed north
can't say more than that since initial listens are kinda unreliable imo, but i'll give it some more listens and develop my thoughts some

It's a very good album, especially how its put together. It has as a few weakpoints if i can even use that word here. It gets too repetitive at times and some of the best songs on there like Cries From a Restless Soul could have had a good minute or more shaved off. Id give Obsolete Tears and Beyond All Horizons 3.75 if i could. The album has somewhat happier melodies/a sound in comparison to the more cold and aggressive sound(definitely the riffs and vocals, no doubt here) that The Somberlain carries. And i still stand by my word and say The Somberlain is a much better album. I'll say i'd take back one being more accessible than the other though. I was just plain speaking out of my ass there.
edit: The Vision and the Voice should be a 4.5 and was my favorite track
edit: title track might need to get bumped up to a 4.5

SDG is a pretty cool band. Haven’t heard anything from them that I didn’t really like.
Moonrise in Total Darkness is also excellent, IMO.

More surprising is the ratings of Obsolete Tears and Beyond All Horizons which are the peaks of the album for me (along with the title track). And The Vision and the Voice is quite easily my least favourite track on the record.

sorry to disappoint you. I listened to it back to back twice and enjoyed it more than i usually do
When Night Surrounds me can even be a 3.25 if i'm being honest and is clearly the most unimpressive track on the album. It's the only time im tempted to hit forward while listening. And those two tracks are from from being the peak of that album imo and basically highlight all of the small complaints i had. That all being said i still think it's one of the best melodic black metal albums around and i dont think i would use ho-hum to describe it again.

I've heard both those Dissection albums and I would choose The Somberlain if I had to choose out of the first two. They don't really do anything for me though tbh

That's just a few of my favorite blackened thrash bands. Did you check out the Nocturnal track/album i posted in the Song Kicking Your Ass thread? Another one of my favorites form that style of thrash. Since you really enjoyed Vektor i'd say give Vexovoid a shot, some heavy Vektor worship there.
