WTF is Blut Aus Nord doing in this list ?

I have tried to get into Blut Aus Nord several times, but just couldn't. I feel like giving them another shot today. What is their most accessible album, the one that is likely to make me appreciate their rather more complex stuff ?

I like The Mystical Beast of Rebellion and Memoria Vetusta II... but other than that I haven't been able to get into Blut Aus Nord so far. Ultima Thulee was just really inconsistent, and The Work that Transforms God only really had a few parts that grabbed me, most of it was pretty bad IMO. It might need another listen though.

Also, some stuff that hasn't been mentioned yet you may like:

Opeth - Still Life ~ Blackwater Park
Scar Symmetry - Holographic Universe
Gorod - Process of a New Decline
The Faceless - Akeldama
Ulcerate - The Destroyers of All
Sybreed - Antares

I'm not really sure what you're looking for, so what I recc'd is kinda a mix.

I'm really digging "The Work Which Transforms God".
