[General Zod]

New releases by Moonsorrow, Vreid, Ajatarra and Fen. The Ajatarra is superb. Haven't queued the others yet.

 

[Demilich]

Holy shit, I totally forgot about Ajatarra. I used to like their first couple of albums, Itse and Kuolema I think??
I have no idea what they even sound like now. Its some kind of side-project isn't it?

 

[Ellestin]

I might get around to listening to this new Moonsorrow. I actually still like Verisäkeet quite a lot, so I'm up for more of the same.

I don't think so. They have seven CDs. The latest is called Murhat. It's awesome.

why would they name an album after my Arab grocer?

Do it. It's their best album. Yes, even better than Verisakeet. After tons of listens I'm hooked on this album like a drug.

I listened to the regular songs on youtube and while they sound very nice and call for more attention, I found myself wishing they would break the mid-tempo mechanics once in a while...

I felt the same my first few listens with this but then once I got the grand scheme of the songs, I no longer cared.

For anyone into grind, the new Rotten Sound (Cursed) is as good as it gets.

ps: he's a cute little guy

 

[dorian gray]

haha he's missing the obligatory long hair though. Can you be granted an exception in the metal world if at least half the band has long hair?
Black outfits though...there's no concessions there, right?

Don't forget the creepy wilderness picture as the cover.

A necessity!

I tried to find the article in the local paper about when he cut off his hair but had no luck. It was funny but sad.

 

[lurch70]

i think that's a Dolce & Gabana jacket he is wearing.

 

[Disgustipated]

That stuff from Vintersorg does sound like a nice jump back in time. Wasn't all that interested when it was first mentioned, but after hearing the sample I'll have to look out for this.

 

[Anom@nder Rake]
