Everyone has a choice. Some people don't like to make others feel uncomfortable with what they do, others don't have a problem giving it their all no matter who is watching.
New discovery for me, only listened to it twice (it's also quite long) but I felt an instant affinity for it. Pretty sure I discovered it via HBB. The tech/prog bug has bitten me very hard lately.
1. Spastic Ink - Ink Complete 2. Garden Wall - Chimica 3. Fates Warning - A Pleasant Shade of Gray 4. Days of Yore - The Mad God's Wage 5. Theory in Practice - Third Eye Function 6. Cauldron Born - Born of the Cauldron 7. Bruce Dickinson - Accident at Birth 8. Arcturus - La Masquerade Infernale 9. Algophobia - s/t 10. Have yet to decide on an album for 10.
Not especially, Ink Compatible sounds closer to a proper Watchtower follow-up while most other Jarzombek stuff just gets kinda samey to me.
1) Bruce Dickinson - Accident of Birth 2) Aeternus - Beyond the Wandering Moon 3) Obtained Enslavement - Witchcraft 4) Lord Belial - Enter the Moonlight Gate 5) Sadistic Intent - Ancient Black Earth 6) Destroyer 666 - Unchain the Wolves 7) Gorgoroth - Under the Sigh of Hell 8) Ulver - Nattens madrigal: Aatte hymne til ulven i manden 9) Windir - Sóknardalr 10) Voivod - Phobos
Big fan of all of your 2 - 8 picks! Glad to see Nattens Madrigal making a list. I’m not sure it’ll make my top 10, but it’s definitely at least an honourable mention. I love the first 4 tracks. Second track probably my favourite these days, it’s just so intense, especially the last minute or so with that riff repeatedly hammering away. Never heard that Bruce album.
I prefer the first Ulver album, but Nattens… is def great. As far as the Bruce album, I prefer Chemical Wedding over Accident..., but that initial reunion of Bruce and Adrian is absolutely epic, imo. I saw that tour in a tiny club in Springfield Virginia with Geezer Butler's solo band opening. It was fucking fantastic!!
@CiG you wanna take over this and the 2018 thread dude? I really don't feel like doing these anymore.
Unless anybody else wants to take these games over? I don't mind but maybe people would prefer somebody else.
