You know he was one of the Royal Carnage staff when there was a webzine, don't you?
yah, Erik gave pretty damn good recos. I pretty much liked all the stuff he recommended on RC. Now, it's mostly Doomcifer and his slowish doom metal stuff that I hate
It's not against you Doomy, we just have polar opposite tastes in metal
edit: Btw I heard Erik got engaged with Susperia
