A fucking explosive beast of an album! It doesn't get more badass than this! If you can listen to "Ulvetid" (featuring Hoest of Taake) without totally flipping out, you must be quite dead already. See that green play button below? Click it NAO!

And their live shows are supposed to be even more insane! Catch 'em on their European tour with Converge and Kylesa or the other one with Coliseum and Bison B.C. if you know what's good for ya! I know I will.

Skøllgrim Northern Posts: 389	Permalink 13.08.2010 - 06:51 Skøllgrim Northern Posts: 389 This album turned to my liking, even though I have unreasonably prejudice for anything sounding a tad 'core-like or too punky and my interest in black metal has been real low recently as well. Also digg the crap out of the John Baizley cover, this and baroness' the blue album cover is simply amazing. Loading...

Mikyz Posts: 711	Permalink 15.08.2010 - 19:54 Rating: 9 Mikyz Posts: 711 I listened to this album as soon as it was released mainly because I'm a big fan of Hoest and so I was psyched to check the project he participated in, and this as it turns out is a freaking monster XD ---- Laugh and the world laughs with you.
