Everyone in Europe is giving up on metal because 80% of the ALREADY VERY LIMITED high-quality releases are coming from the USA. Erik, have you heard of Obsequiae? Worth a listen, Id say.
different strokes for different folks! i would recommend checking out their follow-up "Aria of Vernal Tombs" or perhaps "Heart of Akamon" by Nechochwen. The current metal "scene" is a sea of garbage, but there are some real, genuine masterpieces still coming through.
Here you go bro. I still listen to metal but have resorted to rapping so I can make dat paper. Do you know what I'm sayin'? Welcome back. Tiamat still holds up.
