You seemed to like Steadfast somewhat in the sense that I figure you found the album solid, but seemed to complain about how there wasn't enough differentiation in the tracks, which was also a complaint for that Mondstille album I recommended.
That may have been how you saw it upon your first few listens and your opinion may have changed, and you forgot of how you initially perceived it possibly? To me the album is pretty diverse as far as a lot of Folk/Black/Pagan Metal goes, though I guess I could see how listening to an album just in that style from front to back could drag on for someone.
Either way, I feel pretty confident in Curse of the Cwelled, and while I tend to view Steadfast as a pretty diverse album, relative to that it's still staying in their defined genre, I figure Curse of the Cwelled is even maybe a little bit more diverse.
Also, if you haven't checked out Necrophagia's debut album called Season of the Dead, I highly recommend it as it's a somewhat obscured release, yet quite an important one for the Death Metal sub-genre (it was released before Death's Scream Bloody Gore.)
Maybe if you feel up to it, also review another album of theirs for Metal Month? (I feel there may be a rule against a band having two albums reviewed in a year, but I can't recall it for certain.) Necrophagia is fairly well known for focusing on horror-movie/occult themed lyrics and I feel like an album like WhiteWorm Cathedral, or Deathtrip 69 would go well as something for you to review around October.
