This is and has always been my favorite Slough Feg song by far. Pure brilliance.

Traveller and Hardworlder are the best Slough Feg albums. And they are both far as hell from being "near perfect".

Down >/= Traveler > Idols > Atavism >> S/T > Hardworlder >>>>>>> Ape Uprising
Only listened to Digital Resistance once and Animal Spirits not at all so don't care about those.

Atavism has a few really great songs (I Will Kill You / You Will Die, Hiberno-Latin Invasion, and Starport Blues mainly) but a lot of the rest is a bit too 'filler' level for me.
Twilight of the Idols, Down Among the Deadmen, Traveller, and Hardworlder are all great though (and stand out for their own reasons.)

Agony Slalom and the Eumaeus the Swineherd/Curse of Athena/Agnostic Grunt homogeneous suite are two of their best. Man out of Time is the only sort of weak point but it still keeps within the album's theme so I can't even knock it too much.
After Atavism, it all goes downhill rapidly.

Fuck off it does. The Animal Spirits is a great album and Digital Resistance is a strong album. I haven't really heard Hardworlder or Ape Uprising enough to judge though.
Far as hell going which way?

Ape Uprising is fantastic sing alongable planet of the apes metal. I didn't like Hardworlder that much originally but I tend to listen to it more than most of their stuff now.

^you mean conjuration re: the chasm
since you requested recs before, check out insania if you haven't, more cool euro power from that year. also virus, given you like ved buens ende. and the doomsword, i probs prefer it to the bathory or morrigan although i haven't heard the latter in ages, i should get on that. you may find the axis of perdition album interesting if you like blut aus nord (or alternatively just listen to some sonic youth lol)

Conjuration, whatever. Doesn't really matter which album they released, it'd still be #1.
I actually did listen to the Doomsword but thought it was kinda boring and didn't like it even enough to include it in my HMs.
The Morrigan is overlong and inconsistent, but it's such a fucking masterpiece of texture sometimes. The way the soaring vocals contrast with the almost Deathcult-like cacophony of the guitars in songs like "Giants of Stone" is fucking sublime and maybe the most beautiful thing I've heard all year. If it did that more often it'd be #1 on my list.
