I honestly hope he is just very successful at trolling. I find him hilarious with the language he uses in his reviews and stuff, but I also get why no one wants to be roasted by their peers
Listened to a Hercules album (the new one). Wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be. Definitly needs a better singer, though. Parts of it made me think of a lower grade Isengarde playing power metal.

This stuff totally satisfies me. It's not only due to the Agalloch-like atmosphere, but also the fantastic mastery of post-metal shown throughout the record. All the tracks are good, especially "We Will Tear Down The Gods" with its catchy and mocking chorus.
This record shows a lot of potential.
Much like Gallowbraid, they are definitely heavy on the Agalloch worship. But if you don't mind the lack of originality here it is a very well executed record.
