17:05 - Liafev

SolNegre, The Holeum are great. But it is Void Of Light that hit me the most. Dark, melodic, intense, heavy, atmospheric. This one has it all. Great post metal album!

17:03 - Liafev

I didn't have much time to dive into the top 20 the past couple months. Just got it with some beautiful darkness today while catching up!

15:48 - AndyMetalFreak

I changed the titles, it was a bad error. Thanks for letting me know.

14:48 - Boxcar Willy

@no one, have you listened to the new Hardlore with Ray Cappo? It’s a great interview

14:40 - The Melting Snow

seems to be some serious typos in Draconian's album review.. i guess the guy made a mistake. someone let him know if possible

10:55 - ANGEL REAPER

If that were the case, you would increase label shareholders' value by some minor fraction.
