A few of the latest arrivals:
Mercyful Fate - 'Don't Break the Oath'
Got the 2020 Metal Blade vinyl replica release. It's a beautiful package.
Satanic Warmaster - 'Opferblut'
Been meaning to pick this up for ages, so finally pulled the trigger. Atmospheric, unpretentious, yet emotional and moving.
Emyn Muil - 'Elenion Ancalima'
A flat out rip-off of Summoning, but enjoyable nonetheless. It's Summoning basically.
Panopticon - 'Roads to the North'
Everyone has been raving about this band, so I bought this without having heard them. What a cool album. Kind of hipster black metal mixed with bluegrass Kentucky music. Amazing one man band musicianship. I feel very inferior listening to this.
Gehenna - 'First Spell'
This is the 2014 re-release with no fewer than 10 bonus tracks in the form of demos etc. I just need this for the collection more than any great urge to listen to Gehenna's keyboard heavy black metal.
