oh no that's 5, but i'd say this is so far from what I've been listening to constantly. also, need to listen to all the other new shit that came out, which i still havent listened to yet.

noteworthy albums:
Skeletal Spectre - Voodoo Dawn (this shit grew on me pretty quickly...)
Sombre Forets - La Mort du Soeil (favorite from them so far)
And of course Aosoth.

Definitely up your alley, Krow. It's a win-win.

Also, just realized that that wasn't the Graveyard band I thought it was. That Graveyard is a Spanish DM band, but it got good reviews so I'm going to give it a listen soon, anyways.

I also checked out The Sea Grave thinking it was Graveyard from Sweden but I ended up loving it! Great DM album
