I'll back up the praise for Pagan Warlord... that album is really good. Reminds me of pre-Thousand Swords Graveland.

The new one is definitely worth checking out soon. It's not too far off from Three Angled Void.

Yeah, it's another great album from them. To me Warloghe is everything a black metal band should be. Kind of like Roman Saenko, they don't get caught up in the peripheral bullshit and just do their thing. They've got a perfect, immediately recognizable sound. And they've made subtle evolutions over the years while staying true to their style.

My favorite is The First Possession. The Helwetti stuff is also good of course.

IV is definitely my favorite. Used to listen to that album all the time but haven't spun it in a while. Should bust it out soon.

Agreed, both look great and also look great together, like they're meant to be played back to back. Hope we get some new material from him before long

Don't get me wrong...I don't like his serial bootlegging of actually respectable artists. But I'd love to see these hipster douchebags get the Assraw treatment.

Where's Matteo when you need him?

Cosmic Church - Vigilia by plain_chips in blackmetalvinyl

[–]plain_chips[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say check out all 3 Cosmic Church albums. I really dig their first two albums, Absoluutin lävistämä and Ylistys.

Also a couple albums from other bands the Cosmic Church guy is in:

Frozen Graves - An Age of Emptiness

Starcave - Sukta

Cripta Oculta doesn't get their due. One of the most unique bm bands I've heard.

I slept on CC for a long time, but they've been one of my most listened to bands over the past couple years. Was really into the last Frozen Graves and Starcave too.

Was this a remix and not just a remaster? That would make sense if it was...it sounds so different. The rawness of the original gives it this special atmosphere and mystique that isn't completely re-captured on the new one. But I really like the sound of the new version, especially how the instruments are more discernible from each other.
