Carach Angren – The vocals sound too much like Shagrath for my liking. It distracts my attention from everything else. :(

Le Grand Guignol – Satan’s very own Cirque Du Soleil? Hahahaha. Liked em very much. Thanks.

Wodensthrone – Already on my 2009 year-end list, even before you recommended them. Have you heard Winterfylleth or Askival? Seems the UK is producing some amazing pagan gems lately.

You hooked me with the In The Woods reference. They were a truly unique band.

Absolutely love quirky bands such as this one. Have you reviewed anything similar to this lately, Gaba? Point me in the right direction, kind sir.

Do you think I’m yummy too, Igor? :p

I just want to say it’s awesome review as always, gaba, even though I’m not a fan of the mentioned bands.

“Sometimes an evocative band name and a striking piece of cover art is all you need to guess at the music within” – this so fucking true in case with myself.

” … close your eyes and you’ll see faint firelight from within slumping hovels of stone and rain-soaked thatch, where haggard men and women cower from the alien, shrieking spirits outside.” – this sounds really yummy.
