I've really been enjoying this a lot, Mojo. Thanks for the link, it's great. The first act is a wonderful mixture of modern classical, Eastern European-influenced fiddle, and doom. That took me by complete surprise, but it was a happy surprise. When it jumped into the enormous rif***e of part II, it was basically what I was expecting: deliciously blackened death/doom. The whole album was wonderful. However, they could have skipped the death growls and stuck with the screams, they sounded much better. That's just my personal opinion though, you may think otherwise. Anyway, I'll be paying attention to an metal you post from now on, I can tell you're a man of tastes... better tastes than my own, that's for sure.

I'm almost positive I wouldn't like the album, but that cover is freaking fantastic.
