The Ruins Of Beverast - Exuvia

Enthrone Darkness Triumphant sucked IMO. I remember the hype (and ensuing disappointment on my part) when it came out. I remember enjoying Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia more, but it's been so long since I put it on that I can't really speak for it. The original recording of Stormblast is my favorite of theirs, but those fairy-castle-magic-unicorn keyboards figure prominently.

Golgothan Remains - Perverse Offerings To The Void

It was great, thanks. And yeah, my friends rule. Hopefully I can visit more frequently.
NP: At The Gates - To Drink From The Back Catalog Itself

Man, those are some awesome friends of yours. I can see how some of those bands are somewhat palletable for non-metal listeners, but Demilich is something else haha. Hope your trip went smoothly
NP: Blood Effigy- "Holokaust Kommand" (Demo 2016)
Love this tape. Awesom one-man raw USBM. Available on Vanguard Productions if anyone is interested.

Road trip to NYC!
There:
Akercocke - Words That Go Unspoken, Deeds That Go Undone
Enslaved - E
Nevermore - Dreaming Neon Black
This leg of the trip started in the early evening, and the drive through MA was all deep green foliage and light mist making the hills recede. Once night fell, as I got closer to the city, it became purple clouds and heat lightning. It  was a frequently perfect matching of music and visuals. One of the nicest drives I've taken.
Back:
Blind Guardian - Imaginations From The Other Side
Saturnus - Martyre
Akercocke - Renaissance In Extremis
Fates Warning - Parallels
The best that can be said of this drive is that it was quick and uneventful.
Also I made my friends listen to Crimson Glory, Blind Guardian, Lethal, Holy Moses, Running Wild, Demilich, and Hedningarna last night while we were drinking. They were good sports about the whole thing.

Don't worry man, you haven't aged a day! Happy birthday and all that.

Satan's Host - By The Hands Of The Devil

Death "Individual Thought Patterns"

Apollo Ra - Ra Pariah
Katatonia - Viva Emptiness
Katatonia - Night Is The New Day
...two of my less-liked Katatonia albums, but still good road trip music.

Off to NYC for a wedding that I care about - two members of the string quartet I used to do vocals with are formalizing their relationship. Unfortunately we won't have the time to really enjoy the city this trip, but I'm looking forward to seeing friends.

Opeth - Blackwater Park

Taramis - Queen of Thieves 
Matthias Steele - Haunting Tales of a Warrior's Past 
@FatherAlabaster You may be quite interested in these given your current listens. 

Monstrosity - Imperial Doom

Holy Moses - The New Machine of Liechtenstein

Saxon "The Power and the Glory" - one of the first heavy metal albums I ever listened to when I borrowed my older cousin's record collection when I was 13.  The cover looks almost laughable to some I am sure but imagine being 13 and seeing that fucking electric pink, yellow and sky blue logo being cast like some big 80's mythical incantation from the glove of that Battlestar Galactica reject Cylon who failed in his interstellar domination attempts and ended up marketing 80's metal bands instead.
Massive nostalgia trip on a Tuesday.  Fuck yeah!

Type O Negative - Life Is Killing Me

Apollo Ra - Ra Pariah
Lethal - Programmed
Heir Apparent - Graceful Inheritance
Titan Force - s/t   ...this is another one that I seem to like better and better the more I listen to it.
