23:48 - M C Vice

Origin 3's on tonight, so here's the annual geography lesson [link]

11:31 - Languedocian

Thanks everyone, I'll check those out. Elvenking's EP wasn't anything spectacular but there is a brilliant cover of Children Of Bodom's Children Of Decadence on there.

10:35 - no one

Oh yeah that would be sick, and a down under tour

09:46 - Anghellic67

Btw some Blackbraid / Petrichor news coming tomorrow! I hope for Petrichor debut full length!

09:19 - no one

Second that Petrichor

08:54 - Anghellic67

Some great black metal EP's this year from Blackbraid, Petrichor, Drudkh, Infernal Storm and Melechesh

08:21 - AndyMetalFreak

My 3 favorite EPs this year I'd probably say are Melechesh - Sentinels Of Shamash, Anneke Van Giersbergen - La Mort, and Crown The Beast - Judgement.
