Decided to do a Rhapsody marathon. Just started, finishing up Rage of the Winter off Legendary Tales. Will probably need a break for sleep around the end of Dawn of Victory. By the end of this I expect to will have felt the most gay and epic in my life.
True. But when it comes to this kind of bm, the only way of getting recognition (if you mean it THAT way, after all they are quite recognized in the bm-scene for their early albums) is to do like Dark Funeral and start playing shitty norsecore, dress in zipper-pants and tour with (nearly) mallcore-bands.
True in a way, but then there's bands like Watain, and imo Lord Belial isn't any worse. Also, their recent albums are still pretty good - if anything a bit more melodic and unique stylistically. Sad realities of life, I guess. It just pisses me off when I listen to all of these great bands and know I'll probably never see them live cause they can't afford overseas tours.
