Godamn it feels so fucking cool just to even see Deathspell Omega's name in the news section.

23:52 - 3rdWorld
Perturbator is just retro. GosT just sound majestic and almost sympho. Way too rich and majestic for Pert' to handle.

23:34 - ANGEL REAPER
Doom 4 OST is kinda crap compared to old Doom remakes and covers .Especially this one > [link]

22:38 - Joe Zombie
Also, yes, The Grand Denial is a great track!

22:34 - Joe Zombie
New GosT is decent. Wouldn't say it tops Perturbator though.

22:19 - Maco
The new Asphyx sounds killer. The Grand Denial is a fucking awesome song.

22:17 - Mechaniacal
Loving the new Opeth. Almost bringing me to tears, man. I love this new sound they went for here. Also, new GosT is incredible. Blew my head clean off.

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.
