fuckin. rigged.

Yeah, the list randomizer at random.org is clearly a member of the in-crowd. Sorry Omni, machines have obsoleted you.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

randomizer@random.org the newest member of the in-crowd familia

And Omni's not obsolete here, she'll probably get at least 3 votes in.

 

[Vilden]

I have to consider this for a moment. It's between Hammer of Damnation and Cimmerian Codex

New Dark Age / The Sleeping Tyrant. The rest of the metal songs are boring, but all the folky stuff in the middle is pretty good too.

She did that to herself already.

Wrong.

It's between Hammer of Damnation and Cimmerian Codex

Agreed about "Hammer of Damnation" but in the end "Cromlech" gets my vote.

 

[Vilden]

Went with Hammer of Damnation mostly because it was the first song I heard and what made me fall in love in the first place.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Somehow I knew you'd be a Cromlech person CIG.

 

[CiG]

I could have just as easily gone for "Hammer of Damnation" tbh.

Btw, I'm assuming Gorement did nothing for you?

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Haven't heard it yet.

Is this album any good? I've never heard it. I'm familiar with Lamentations tho.

If you like whining, repetition, and nonsense M-W unabridged lyrics, it's amazing.

It's good, check out "Hammer of Damnation," "The Sleeping Tyrant" and "Cromlech."

Cromlech

haha i was struggling to decide between the opener and 'cromlech' and decided to go for the one that was getting the least praise. turns out i broke a tie.

all of these songs are a little awkwardly written and fall short of greatness for me, but i still really enjoy all of them. tricky round.

Bit of a non-sequitur to bring it up in this thread, but yeah it's great. Shouldn't surprise you I love it, I like my death metal doomy and full of gorgeous melodic leads.

CiG brought it up first!
