First spin of the new Phideaux album, it's called Snowtorch.

Not as impossibly wonderful as the last two in my opinion, but overall still probably the third best in his discog, though I am partial to 313.

I'll see but, with the exception of his firs two albums (especially Friction), Phideaux Xavier's discography is pretty much flawless. :cool:

I agree, they're all good and he's a freak.

The only thing is, after the enormity of Doomsday, I somehow managed to like Number 7 even better, so I was pretty insane with anticipation for this one. I do like it very much, but it's still not quite as mind blowing as the last two.

4 excellent songs in a row, with Nightrider being the fifth if it was technically recorded on it. How the fuck did I never hear any of their early stuff sooner? These guys must've been something else back in the day.

:dio:

Quite possibly the album of the year for me. Love every second of it, at least twice a day.

Third spin. This really is a good album! Better than Köld, I dare say.

I liked this more when it first came out in February/March. It has some good parts but overall this is quite boring.

Actually, not bad at all great riffs and the vocals are very unique.

More great DM from the Netherlands.

Definitely in my top 10 progressive metal albums, the keys really add for a mystical spacey effect.

Interesting since that one is probably their worst album, despite being decent.

Almost ear-bleedingly bad, typically a pre-requisite for any band recording an anthology is to have some corpus of history, material, or you know talent in a band's legacy. Gestapo 666 these untermenschen are not
