65 minutes of Benedictum is a little too much, imho. Anyway, I liked their previous album so I'll check this one out.

I really liked their two previous albums 'Uncreation' and 'Seasons of Tragedy' and this one is what I would expect from them at this point. While being influenced by 80's metal they've carved out their own style without sounding like a nostalgia act. I love that their female singer models her vocals more in the vein of Ronnie James Dio/James Hetfield than the overkill of operatic vocalists that permeate metal today.

Cool B.B., you look like from the old guard. Are you new to the forum or been lurking around for a few years and suddenly decided to say something?

Been here before under the name 'Raven'. I left for a little while but have decided to return. No lurking.

+1, having Raven back raises the average forum intelligence by a good 75%. :wink:

Thank you one and all. I appreciate the fanfare and the foolish notion that I somehow bring a modicum of intelligence to these here parts of the interwebs :lol: For continuity's sake I could put in a request that the Goatman change my name back to Raven.

I couldn't remember the email address that I had used and it would have been a bigger hassle getting the info rather than just firing up a new account.

I'll let you know I have a double digit IQ in the high 70's which puts me in the top 25% of intelligent people in the world.
