Was not aware of the debut when I posted the list (downloaded it but still haven't listened to it)

After seeing Inquisition on numerous lists I'm going to have to finally listen to that album. I also want to spin Altar of Plagues more, as I have never gone all the way through the album. Monolithe is another one I've been missing out on.

Altar of Plagues is a weird record, good weird for sure, I think it's their most established record and it never fails to amaze me.
Monolithe I don't play that often (just like any other Monolithe record) but that doesn't mean it's not a solid album and deserves its spot on the list.

I recommended it on tea[m]ster's page, but you'd probably like Kultika's album. Free on their webpage. It's damn near a cult of luna rip off, but its good.
