Good call, a bit inconsistent in the 'only debut albums' thingy (I didn't even point out all of them) but that's not really important I guess. Nice selection a bit hella tough ones, I NO VOTEd where I couldn't decide at all, didn't know or hadn't heard.

Yeah... strange list. I haven't heard a lot of those CDs. Although, not surprisingly. I've only started to get into a lot of these more underground bands in the last few years.

Zod

You're definitely not alone. Honestly, I was very humbled by the amount of no votes I had, and have been into the more underground bands for a good while now.

By the way - have you listened to Windir's debut yet? I'm going to be on you until you give it the attention it deserves, LOL.

By the way - have you listened to Windir's debut yet? I'm going to be on you until you give it the attention it deserves, LOL.

By the way, whoever said their second release "Arntor" (or whatever) is their best is talking out of their mudchute ass. It's fucking 1184 all over again.

The debut is BY FAR the best Windir release, at least from the standpoint of creativity. Anything that followed sounds so much more generic.

Dunno why, but I kind of expected this. Amtor is still the only one by them that I haven't heard, but the debut is so rock solid that I couldn't imagine any of the later releases topping it. The debut for the win.
 
Everyone really needs to stop choosing Aeternus over Bonded By Blood. Seriously.
