The Mystical Beast... is shite.

Let's not forget Memoria Vetusta I - Fathers Of The Icy Age as well.

 

[Thanatopsis123]

And how does it compare?

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Memoria Vetusta is the 2nd best after TWWTG imo.

It's dimly melodic black metal with a lot of folk elements, clean vocals, excellently placed/executed guitar solos, etc. Absolutely excellent in nearly all respects. Candlelight recently re-releases MVI:FOTIA and UT on CD with very nice looking art...I should get them.

It's good too but my third favourite.

 

[Doomwatcher]

It has more of an epic tone, similar to Enslaved's early output. There is use of clean vocals and lead guitar work throughout the album.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Thank you for that.
