I keep forgetting how great this album is. It's top notch fucking death metal. Is their sophomore also that great?

My favorite band of all time! No Code is my favorite album for what it's worth.


But yeah, I agree with your description above ... there's not enough black metal in their sound anymore to use it do describe them though. 

These Shores are Damned is a fuckin' masterpiece! One of my favorites![]()
You're hearing things you want to hear man.
But yeah fuck this shit. You're clearly as heardheaded as i am, but the difference here is you're clearly wrong.
Really bro? I dont know what to say anymore. What more could you possibly want than the words straight from the man himself? OH and can you find me that interview? Because you brought nothing to the table for the crust argument, absolutely nothing. And i practically ended your whole black metal argument with a quote straight form one of his interviews. "Outside listeners being colored by the fact that we did quite a few black metal albums in our career" kind of sounds like "fans letting the cover art control their perception", no? Yeah, hardheaded isnt even the word.
