[Phylactery]

Not very familiar with that Legion of Doom album. I'm a fan of Kingdom of Endless Darkness, though. That'll go on the to listen to list.

But yeah, Goat Horns and Welowie were big oversights!

[Phylactery]

That's because you're an unapologetic Nazi sympathiser.

I may not rate this year because there is simply too much good shit that got churned out.

It's looking to be an epic, daunting task.

 

[no country for old wainds]

the only ones of those i've neither heard nor wishlisted are the maze of torment and the warloghe. guess i should get on those.

 

[Slayed Necros]

The Warloghe EP has their best song ever:

 

[Phylactery]

The only one I've never heard is the Spear of Longinus. Listening to a few tracks and man the production is pretty rough! Very INRI sounding stuff.

I own Dark Ages’ Return from Warloghe, which features the two tracks from that EP on it.

You Symphony X guys should just create another thread to compete. I was going to do it myself just to see TechBarb's reaction, but the US copyright office says it was released in 10/15/96 so I can't compromise my morals just for that.

 

[CiG]

Checking out Towards the Skullthrone of Satan right now, so far so good. I've heard some Enthroned here and there but this is better than anything I remember.
