  1. 1. Deathspell Omega; at some point I'll feel melancholic so might aswell take my favorite band

    2. Peste Noire; perfect soundtrack for my drunken adventures across the land

    3. Kendrick Lamar; not a band, but he is my favorite hip-hop artist so far

    4. Immolation; I'd love to keep with me something that conjures great atmospheres and tight, aggressive riffage

    5. Anything by Glenn Miller; still not a band but one of the few people in this world that can make me dance

    What did you think of the song?  I like it, but I hear that many think it's terrible.

    I think it’s great, and overall I like their nationalistic vibe. Though, I guess m8l8th is completely hit or miss much like anything else that goes under the Militant Zone label

    Katatonia - Viva Emptiness

    As I read this, I can just imagine Blut rambling about Katatonia’s downfall. I kinda miss him

    Taking my Dad for his pre-surgery appointment at the hospital later today.  Have to say how amazing the Doctors and Nurses were while he was in earlier this year. So grateful to them all.

    Hope everything will go well with your father. I don't know how much the words of a stranger weigh, but I'm with both of you

    I was more referring to the fact that these days it's mostly death, doom, and black metal giving us quality. Bands like Grave Miasma, Ulcerate, Ahab, Akercocke, 1349 and Black Harvest for example. By comparison the diversity of the eighties/nineties was stunning. We had Coroner, Candlemass, Bathory, Death, Fates Warning, Iron Maiden, Blind Guardian...the list just keeps going. Little wonder then that so many modern bands take inspiration from their predecessors

    I guess today most ideas within the black/death metal sphere have already been -more or less- eviscerated, it’s difficult to find something that sets the bar high, or that even separates itself radically from the peers. In this sense, I applaud the effort of bands like Deathspell Omega, Peste Noire or Portal. With that in mind though, I still believe metal has virtually endless possibilities of expression and progress
