Best Heathen Metal of 2006

[Climb Thar Hill]

Wolves in The Throne Room-Diadem of 12 Stars

I forgot to mention them along with Helheim & Gwynbleidd. Awesome album, in fact, I think I'll listen to it again right now.

I like technical death.

Opeth are not technical death.

Yeah, I really enjoy Wolves in The Throne Room, really atmospheric sometimes. Perfect for those gray days and long train rides through the countryside

Wow, it's really trendy to hate Agalloch suddenly. I guess they've gotten too popular.

Wolves in the Throne Room, Agalloch and Negura Bunget get my vote.

I'm wondering if I should just stay away from this entire genre. I like technical death. This heathen stuff is novel for a short while (like anything really) then the lack of substance really bores me. I listened to Pale Folklore the other day and it just seemed so gimmicky. Alas.

This whole post reeks of a bad joke

I fucking love the tits off the new Agalloch.

Everything else I haven't heard, honestly I'm still wrapping my head around the first two Drudkh albums, have been for some years now.

 

[dorian gray]

I have them all. Pale Folklore is the best me thinks. I thought the most recent one was tripe and I'm a musical genius so there you have it.

 

[JayKeeley]

the funny thing is, it's not as if anyone associates dorian with listening to ANY metal anyway, whether it be heathen, pagan, technical death like opeth, or otherwise.

 

[dorian gray]

haha where'd this technical death and opeth thing come from?
and just for the record, I did listen to some metal today in the form of Dream Theater's Six Degrees on Inner Turbulence. PURE METAL

 

[JayKeeley]

you should write for UM, you're almost over-qualified

 

[dorian gray]

I've put in application but no callbacks yet
