18:11 - A Real Mönkey

Twilight of the Thunder God is my favorite viking metal album.

16:46 - ScreamingSteelUS

Tales From the Thousand Lakes is my favorite Viking metal album

16:22 - Anghellic67

Amorphis, nice! The comment saying Black Winter Day being pagan black metal was hilarious though. 😅

16:07 - Boxcar Willy

Should have known he was in the scene but this is cool [link]

15:01 - Anghellic67

Disclaimer: I just found out it's possible on RYM by editing the URL, and I think it's a killer feature to keep up with recent releases, being able to see the chart for a specific month a week.
