THIRTY-EIGHT?

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Nice! I think the 21st century years might be the most fun to do, because I get to spend more time checking out obscure shit and less time listening to canonized classics I'm supposed to have heard already, so there is a greater sense of discovery.

I've kicked off my 2014 journey with a re-listen of Capilla Ardiente's album. Killer fucking epic doom metal from Chile!
