Xanthochroid - Of Erthe And Axen: Act II - Rating details

Agreed, I cannot wait! I swear I listen to his version of "A Fine Day To Die" like every day. I'm biased because I grew up in rural NY near the Adirondacks but stilllll

21:07 - A Real Mönkey

Yeah seems like Blackbraid is gonna rule black metal this year if he keeps up the quality of his last two albums.

20:46 - Vellichor

Same here, I still listen to the last one regularly

20:33 - AndyMetalFreak

Blackbraid is one of my most anticipated releases, going on his last 2 records I'm expecting another great album.

20:31 - Chidder

Gonna check this new heavy metal project from Christofer Johnsson. Let's see if it's fun :)

20:29 - Boxcar Willy

Oh yes I quite liked the new Drudkh

20:28 - Vellichor

I hope Blackbraid III smashes all the other black metal this year like the last two did for me
