Yep. I actually find myself reaching for this disc every so often. These guys might have had a bright future. They had some real nice ideas on this disc. Shame it fell apart.

Ok, I looked it up, Erik, how have you heard the new Thyrfing already? It leaked somewhere?

And if you have, it's on your list, so it rules?!

 

[JayKeeley]

1. nokturnal mortum "weltanschauung"

wtf?! #1?

2. primordial "the gathering wilderness"

Yes. Probably their best release actually.

bruce dickinson "tyranny of souls"
negurã bunget "inarborat kosmos"
dark tranquillity "character"
drudkh "the swan road"
thyrfing "farsotstider"
evoken "antithesis of light"
candlemass "candlemass"
grand magus "wolf's return"
sunn o))) "black1"

All 7/10 or 8/10 releases at most. All fine to good releases, no doubt. None of them are the best those artists have to offer, however, and that's what makes 2005 a bunk year sadly.

A good year is when every release in your top 10 list is worthy of the #1 spot.
