Graveland - 'Impaler's Wolves' EP
This is one of Graveland's greatest releases due to the fact that it consists of two re-recorded songs from the high quality debut 'Carpathian Wolves', and created during the dawn of the almighty viking metal era for the band in 1999.
The clearer and more epic production allows these two songs ('Impaler of Wallachia' and 'In the Northern Carpathians') to really become the anthems they've deserved to be.
The inclusion of those church bell sounds in time with the music just destroys me too. Nothing could sound more 15th century Eastern European than that.
Void Rot - "Necrotic Deity" (promo track) ...one for @Thrashman if he hasn't already heard it.
Atavisma - "Dread" ....from the other half of the split. This is fun too.
BÁL - Bú
SlaveOne - Omega Disciples
Supposedly, new material from the masterful black/noise band Black Mass of Absu will be coming out (date unknown, but I can hope for this year!). It has been something along the lines of 20 years since their last release of new material, so anything would be great!
