I'll be perfectly honest -- I did not realize The Mantle was THAT obvious

I have The Mantle on vinyl, on CD, and I have the Heathen Winter tour shirt from when I saw them on their Mantle tour!!! I LOOOOVE that album!!

But come on, for it to be a landslide from the first round onwards...I must say, I thought it would at least have had some competition....
