I didn't ruin anything, don't get your panties all twisted too.

Nice list, there, now it's on topic.

Good oompa-loompa

Yeah maybe I haven't talked so much about it but I love it. It doesn't have a lot of material, but what's there is VERY COOL.

Perhaps the biggest surprises here are:

1) Sólstafir went straight to #2 after like three days
2) Fucking CANDLEMASS didn't even make it to the top 10. Eh.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Isn't there a thread on this already?

 

[Erik]

Isn't there a thread on this already?

Yeah but I've got 18k posts and an army of oompa-loompas; I do whatever the fuck I feel like.

 

[J.]

listen to Graveland and Jesu more and then bye bye Reverend Bizarre and Rapture

 

[Erik]

Possible. Rapture is kinda hanging by the threads there, I could almost just as easily put Drudkh, or Aphotic/Dusk, Taake, Thyrfing or Temnozor' there. Tough.

 

[Krilons Resa]

good one, doo-pee-dee-doo

 

[MajestikMøøse]

Nice list.

 

[Erik]

Oh yeah I god damn forgot Manilla Road. I've only heard one song but it's VERY POSSIBLE that it could make the top 10 based on that one track. Adding it to the "MUST LISTEN!" list.

EDIT: added Jennie Tebler as well

You vunt! Fucking GHEY!


hit me up if you want.

 

[Erik]

Well. I have heard "Riddle of Steel", if you could YSI a couple more tracks it would be awesome cool.

 

[J.]

Oh yeah I god damn forgot Manilla Road.

No you didnt. THey don't belong on your list.

 

[Tranquillian]

Great list, I'd say 5 of your top 10 would be on my top 10 as well. I'm such an oompa-loompa.
