Death Came Through On A Phantom Ship (2010)
Probably one of the best metal albums I've heard all year... some great guitar riffs/ drum beats, and told in a a traditional story fashion, none of that concept stuff. Essentially it reads about a ship gone looking for The Flying Dutchman (makes sense considering the band is Dutch) however there were a few moments where I thought they were singing about the Mary Celeste. I need to go through a listen with the lyrics on hand, but for the most part this is a great album if you're into symphonic black metal, which I know oh so many of you are.
