[Mercy/Severity]

I just listened to the album Stronghold all through, I rate it pretty highly.

Does anyone know where they are from, and what do others think of them?

 

[Birkenau]

Pretty good, they're from Austria last time I checked.

Make sure you check out Dol Guldur.

 

[Christie_fell]

Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame

and yes, Austria

 

[BasilisK]

Good project. Nice change of pace.

If you like "Stronghold" you can buy all albums except for the debut album "Lug Burz". It´s not comparably to the other recordings, netherthless I like it. It´s some really good Black Metal stuff.

 

[hibernal_dream]

Great band. Even Lugburz was different from anything else at the time, black metal or not.

 

[Necramentia]

the rotting horse on the deadly ground \m/

Lugburz is my personal favorite. Still an amazingly different sound while still remaining entirely Black Metal. I found Trifixion's drumming to be quite interesting. Of course, everything they've put out following that has been very good as well. Particularly Minas Morgul and Dol Guldur.

Heard some samples of songs from Stronghold.. plan to get it now... sounds like a very good band...

 

[no country for old wainds]

dol guldur > stronghold > nightshade forests > mortal heroes & lugburz & minas morgul

 

[Jean-Pierre]

Minas Morgul > Dol Guldur > Lugburz > Stronghold > Mortal Heroes

 

[Demilich]

All I have is "Let Mortal Heroes...", but I've heard Minas Morgul many times and like it a lot more than the later stuff.

 

[Necramentia]

stronghold > dol guldur > mortal heroes > lugburz afaik

 

[skeptik]

Lugburz > Minas Morgul > Dol Guldur > Stronghold > Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame > Nightshade Forests

Granted, I view these very much more equally than this analysis suggests. In fact, I like the first four there almost equally.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Minas Morgul > Stronghold > Dol Guldur > Lugburz > LMHSYF

And yeah, first four almost equal.

 

[byrne]

i like dol guldur. not enough to get any other albums, but it is enjoyable.

 

[no country for old wainds]

Preferring Minas Morgul to Dol Guldur is a strong indication of clinical insanity.

 

[skeptik]

Or a differing of opinion. Dol Guldur is too bombastic.

 

[D-KOM]

Lugburz is a classic, and I am a little sad that they didn´t record a second album in that vein, even it surely had sound different after the split with Trifixion. Unfortunately his solo album isn´t that good also...
