Anubis Gate - Horizons
Girlfriend Metal
Following up their excellent self-titled uh... fifth album, most fans knew that this album was going to be a disappointment. Suffering the loss of a founding guitarist and drummer, the odds were on a steaming pile of Danish doo-doo. Yet somehow, this album comes out like a delicious wienerbrød. Still one of the only bands that I can never seem to figure out when songs are going to end or begin, the structures are interesting enough to avoid boring us to death with ordinary melodic prog/power metal. If you want a band that knows how to write great catchy songs without all the plague of pompousness that most modern prog metal suffers from, you may enjoy this.

The Fall Of Every Season - Amends (2013)
Spring has a special vibe of rebirth and reincarnation that every culture throughout history has made acknowledgment of. The malign, bitter chill of winter passes away, life emerges once more from under its frost, and the cycle of the seasons begins once more at its start. If there were to be a soundtrack to this period of deconstruction and subsequent rebirth, perhaps it would be The Fall Of Every Season's 2013 effort. An album six years in the making, from its very start it's apparent...

Bathory
Quorthon used the same guitar on all Bathory recordings between the "Satan My Master"/"Witchcraft" session in May 1983 and the Octagon album recorded in February 1995. The guitar was a Ibanez Destroyer I, equipped with Dimarzio's and Dean Markley strings. Since then the weapon of choice is a Gibson Flying-V with Dimarzio's and (since Dean Markley is out of business) GHS Boomers.
