I cannot, for the life of me, understand what so many people see in that Drudkh album- especially over "Diadem..". It is easily the weakest in my eyes.

And on another note, it looks I need to keep trying with N' Crugu Bradului. I've tried queuing it up a few times, but its just never hit me.

Go right to Season III (track 3). If that doesn't do it for you, it never will. It's an out and out black metal masterpiece.

It was a really, really tough decision for me between that one and Below the Lights. The song I mentioned above is the best song on either release, I just find BtL to be slightly more consistent.

Are you people fucking out of it? Drudkh over Wolves? :zombie:

Primordial over Agalloch is what is blowing my mind. Sure TGW rules my face, but c'mon!

The Mantle is simple not that great. I would have voted for Pale FOlklore

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

I agree with the sentiment that all those who vote for drudkh over Wolves is fuckin nuts. Sure, Blood in Our Wells was one of the best albums of last year, but Diadem was one of the best albums of this decade!
