@BigNaughty - it might be boring to listen to RC. Though, new album is good.

is it more or less sacriligous to listen to rotting christ today?

I haven't listened to it, so I can't comment on it.

Lex, opinions differ of course. The Key is really one of my favourite DM albums. Maybe you're "one of those people" who likes Thresholds more. I found that one rather boring compared to the debut.

What attracted me to Swallow The Sun in the first place? Hard to say, but it was definitely their take on combining elements of doom and melodic death metal and putting their own spin on the outcome. And while not originators of this not easily defined genre, Swallow The Sun stayed somewhat true to their basic formula over the years.
