And this is from 1995. Less crazy, more atmospheric [link]

18:24 - Hex_Omega
Forgotten pioneers of electronic/industrial metal. This is from 1993 [link] If you wanna hear some crazy shit then definitely check this out.

Moonsorrow might be a good choice as well

The guitar in "We Set Tokyo Ablaze" will take you places

Being more serious this time, Red, this might work for you: [link] They were a local act in Chicago and buddies of mine. So many feels.

Definitely Arjen's "worst" album. Its best tracks are Abbey of Synn and Computer Eyes. Too bad the other tracks are relatively weak and boring compared to those, though still not bad of course.
