Something tells me I'm going to be oddly disappointed by this release :sad:

It's quite different from their first, as I said, but still well above average. Let me know what you reckon!

Thanks for the review, I did check this album out but after a couple of tracks I got rid of it. I didn't care for the vocals, musically, not really my thing, either.

By no means a bad album, just not my tunes I guess.

Well, if I think about it in comparison to the debut I'm disappointed, but not so much that I dislike it. My problem is really only in the more straightforward Darkthrone-ish groovy bits. I suppose I was hoping for something that at least matched the weirdness of their debut, but what has come out has a smidge too much DHG-ishness about it. I've listened to it about 5 times so far, and I like it, just not as much as Nouveau Gloaming.

Checking out their myspace now, sounds quite good.

I believe they played at a black metal festival in Arnhem last year, I was there to see V:28, and left early, missing <code> :/

Oh well, I'll see them next time.
