I put a beer for those words! Too bad that this band doesn't get a proper interest it deserves.


I think I like it that way, post metal fans dirty little secret!

A very beautiful expansion since my last visit. It's a little pity that there are no less known stuffs such as Svartidauði, Sun Of The Blind, Pan.thy.monium, Obscure Sphinx, but I understand that list is limited to 100 only. Well, I'm not here to grumble about, a better list is really hard to find on MS. Dude, this is fantastic

Definitely one of the best lists I've ever gone through on this site, as a good majority of some of my favourite albums are on this list.

I also enjoy how it is ever changing. Good stuff man.

Also, if you have not heard it, Disharmonic Orchestra - Pleasuredome is one of my all time favorites. I think you will also love it.

Here we go again, stuck in another infinite loop =P

Honestly though, thanks for your rec, Mahdi. I didn't know the band so you intrigue me Also, you should work on your promoting skills. It's a sin that one of your favorite albums has just 6 votes here, and virtually no one even knows it exists ;]

Don't get your hopes high yet. It seems to be yet another album that I love and many people don't think it as a great record.
And hey, it's cool when one of your fav records has only 6 votes. It gives a sense if cvltness

Dear lord, this list is fantastic. Most of my favourite metal albums would be on here. It seems that we both have the exact same taste in black metal. I wouldnt include Agruss and The Meads of Asphodel though.

Of course, I can understand why people don't like the Meads, but not enjoying Agruss is beyond me. One of the best in my humble collection.

Well, its not like I dont like the Meads, but they are somehow too inconsistent for me to fully enjoy them. As for Agruss, I've tried hard but something just doesnt hit the right notes with me. Would rather listen to DIS over them any day.

If by saying DIS, you mean Dragged Into Sunlight and Hatred For Mankind, I can't help but only say that I love this one just as much Stylistically, it is quite different though.

Yep, I mean Dragged into Sunlight . Stylistically they are quite different, true, but both have this uncompromissing violence in their music, in which I highly prefer DIS. I also really dislike the vocalwork of Agruss, sounds too overdone and I cant take it seriously anymore. It kind of says something, because normally I can tolerate most vocals within extreme metal. Most of the other albums are fucking great though, so not much to complain here.

That being said, the diversity in the vocal style is the highlight of this album imo. Anyway, thanks for your comprehensive reply. I'm fine with it

Looking at your list I realize I've heard everything except Disillusion. I'm not the biggest sucker for prog but I like when it mixes with other genres or its a bit weird in general (like Alchemist for example).

Same here... But Gloria is far from being your generic prog metal record. This is a completely different level, and something you've never heard before.
