Regular rotation this past couple of weeks has been:
Sacramentum "Far Away From The Sun" - I can get a solid dose of melodic BM from Dissection any time I like but for musical prowess I'd hit this record everytime. All that bleak atmosphere, balanced with haunting melody and some damn fine instrumentation to boot.
Satyricon "Dark Medieval Times" - just played it on YouTube once the other week and can't leave it alone now. Just get the impression they got that sound without having to really try as it all just fits together so well.
Lluvia "Premonicion De Guerra" - two lengthy, yet strong and mature sounding BM attacks. Tempered by some very thoughtful structures and well timed ambient passages.
