They're still my favorite band even after all of these years.

I love this kind of epic metal, but I've been sleeping on Turisas for years. I've had The Varangian Way for forever, but for whatever reason I've never followed up on their other albums. My loss. This ****ing rules. Sort of like a much more ambitious version of Running Wild.





Edit: Been looking at some of the Youtube comments for Turisas songs and Jesus ****ing Christ there are a lot of neo-Nazi Turisas fans.

I'm listening to my favourite song of this band, Folkvang. It has an absolutely awesome atmosphere.

Without knowing anything about them I saw them live last year supporting Gojira and wrote them off due to their ludicrous stage show and costumes.

I am quite frankly an idiot. How they can sound so original yet rip off virtually every Metal and prog band from the 70's and 80's is beyond me.

Easiest description? King Diamond makes a pop album or Brian Wilson does a Metal album. As each band member wears a costume it has come to light that Dave Grohl has played drums at a gig for them and there are many other surprises in store when they reveal their identities some day. Genius album.

I really like the song Ghuleh/Zombie Queen from that album, but I haven't checked it out any further, though I've been meaning to for a while as I have with many other groups/songs I've heard good things about.

As of now I'm listening to Und Pan Spielt Die Flöte (Desîhras Tagebuch Kapitel II) by Nocte Obducta. The song is great Atmospheric Black Metal. Some parts remind me a little bit of Klabautamann if anyone's familiar with them too?

Sepultura are okay, and they certainly have their moments, but I've never really been the biggest fan. Death, Obituary, Morbid Angel, and many others were better early death metal bands, and bands like Devastation, Morbid Saint, Demolition Hammer, and Exhorder were far better brutal thrash bands.

Genius? I thought the fact that they sounded so much like Mercyful Fate, but without being unable to channel the same kind of atmosphere, made them redundant.

I heard Ghost's debut and it was okay.

My copy of this album is pretty ****ed so I don't listen to it nearly as much as I'd like.
