It's like what would've been created if somebody had punched Therion in the face just before they wrote their early stuff. It's quite brutal, yet coherent and intelligent. DM riffs/vocals don't get much better than theirs, either.
I only ever get two reactions to my age:
1. OMG you're 15?!?! You'Re WeLL SMART! GEEk!!
2. Haha, you're 15, come back when you've outgrown your Slipknot pants kid.
Their vocals are insane. The part in Drowning in Blood where the vocals come in with the huge "GGUURRRRRAAAGGHHHHH" is the coolest thing ever.
About age. I don't think it should matter. I've been into metal for one damn year, and some people can't believe that. How did I do it? I just went out looking for good stuff on M-A. Just random searches. I've been through all sorts of phases (like the one where I liked nothing but brutal death and goregrind, where my old UM name came from). I'm currently on a huge black metal and stoner/sludge kick.
I could do without the organ intro, heh, but yes, Schizophrenia is possibly my favourite on the album, with Baphomet just behind. I wouldn't normally ask but I'm seriously bored.
