RadicalThrasher and EspaDa's timely ratings have decisively resolved the tie (and spared us another Saint Vitus victory) and given us a winner! It's @CiG with Impetigo - Wizard of Gore!

Proud to be the resident Barathrum fan, but also sad they're so unloved that it's a dead giveaway that it was my pick.

Barathrum - Dark Sorceress (Autumn Siege)
ahhh yes, an oft forgotten staple of the pompey canon. doesn't do a ton for me though, i know the stripped down simplicity is meant to be the point but more often than not sparse doomy black metal stuff leaves me cold (see also: a lot of classic varathron), i just need more going on. i do like the opening section but even then it's just manowar with shittier vocals. 6/10
