Thank you sir. Was not even thinking these boys would ever release anything more. That was the most awesome boring song ever.

Double albums always worry me.

Yes, "Senyaan", "How to Measure a Planet?" and "Themes From William Blake..." set a very bad precedent...

i love it. cool vibe going on with the rhodes and whatnot. good mix and master, no modern shit. i wonder if the whole album is going to be chilled out like this or if there's gonna be a bunch of metal in it still. probably the latter.

This album is, as the sayin goes, kicking my parts in. The final track especially, is so cool I might just as well post it

 

[Agalloch]

Agreed.

AOTY contender alongside SubRosa.

Spot is taken by either one of the Blut aus Nord. New one probably will carry the day.

Are you including Sects or are you referring to the two that haven't come out yet?

 

[Ellestin]

Sect is good but The Desanctification is good good. I have no idea when the third is coming out.

ASF. I have never really listened to Solstafir before. Is this representative of their previous works?

hmm I'd go for yes as far as Masterpiece of Bitterness. Before that it gets markedly rawer, and manly, demented shrieks are to be heard.

[grisvald]

well, til valhallar is probably the only album that isn't a solid 10/10
i've been listening to the new one like a zillion times already, don't know why anyone would listen to opeth after hearing awesome shit like this

There is a teaser for the Desanctification on youtube. Check it out. I'm positive that the first section of the teaser has Mikko A from Deathspell Omega on vocals. However, those vocals do not appear on the leaked copy of Desanctification I have. Do you know anything about this? I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere online.

Currently cranking Masterpiece of Bitterness, fuckkkkkk yea!

 

[Reign in Acai]

This band is inconceivably grandiose!

 

[Ellestin]

their stuff is toxic, whenever I venture into their music, I can't shake it off my mind for days. The coolness of the riffs, the raw melancholy ffs.

sounds like totally unifinished but great to hear it! Closer to I Blodi og Anda material.
