As I sit in the corner of an overcrowded room donning headphones and a much-too-large hood, doing my best to look like I`m not actually mad at the world (or moreover the sliver of it that is currently drinking around me), I can`t help but notice just how amusing it is to watch eleven people sans-volume. Descriptions aside, its quite enjoyable. Also (unsurprisingly) its quite distracting. So beyond the last few sentences, and my now apparently weekly list of songs that you should listen to and love below, I have little else to say.
Nyktalgia - Nyktalgia (Another clear example of what a band should expect of their namesake track)
Natal Day - Tulus (Not exactly what I had expected when I was first told to give Tulus a go. Oddly pleasant)
Nirnaeth Arnoediad Part 1 - Aldaaron (A fitting war tune indeed. Somebody will get this reference, I just know it)
The Eclipse - Fractal Gates (The remainder of the album aside, this song is fucking great)
Coma - Lantlôs (I can't seem to step away from Neige's caustically beautiful vocals. Old Silver Key anyone?)
Самітність (Solitude) - Drudkh (A gaze to the past, albeit a relatively recent one. Old Silver Key anyone?)
Dawn of End - Nachtvorst (Black metal steeped in thick sludgy undertones. Oh, the Dutch)
Blood of the Hermit - Mortualia (Cold and unforgiving. Award goes to Mortualia for 'least corresponding album artwork of the decade')
From the Black Coffin Lair - Sargeist (Just for a second (brilliant) dose of Shatraug)
Und Pan spielt die Flöte (Desîhras Tagebuch Kapitel II) - Nocte Obducta (Somehow I always manage to let this song slip through the cracks. Finally fished from the fissures and set back in its rightful place as one of the best songs ever recorded)
Abschied.
