Might give it a listen, not a big fan of just Black Metal, add some folk or sludge, and you've got your self a party... but just regular?
Meh. |

Less than 10% of my reviews have been for folk- or sludge-influenced black metal. |

You could always start doing more.  |

I'm just saying you're looking in the wrong place if you're expecting those kinds of reviews. As those influences aren't exactly what I look for in my black metal (with the exception of Dragged Into Sunlight and Lord Mantis), you probably won't see me reviewing those kinds of releases. |

Too bad. I enjoy reading your reviews.

Ha! I knew it existed, wrote a review of it elsewhere, and even gave it the exact same score. Great little thing.
Not to reign on your parade or anything, Troy. |

I'm actually glad someone else was aware of it, and it doesn't hurt that we feel the same about it either. Consider my parade not "reigned" on. |

That's right, I REIGN on everyone's parade! *evil laughter*
But yes, completely unintentional. I guess I was just too excited thwarting you to use words correctly. Thanks for steeling my glory.  |

Not a problem. I'll try to iron out any future problems like this. |

| Ooh this sounds like a nice little piece. My home Cpu fried and I can't stream anything at work. God I hope good reviews and reccomendation threads don't fill up too much while my PC gets fixed. |

A metal sub-genre. Bands like Acid Bath, Crowbar, The Ocean, Baroness, etc. |

I know it's a sub-genre, but I want to know its characteristics. And thanks for the suggestions. |

| Very mediocre release and only recommended to fans of the band. 6.2 |

| I definitely wouldn't call it mediocre and I'd recommend it well beyond fans of the band. Fans of pure black metal in general, especially those who enjoy the more raw forms of black metal out of Finland. |

I'm not sure you can call a band like Abazagorath revivalist for the same reason you can't call Asphyx revivalist.
It's technically the same argument, just different opinions on specific tastes. |

but at least Asphyx were original when they started and didn't try to sound like anyone else in the scene at the time. Same can;t be said about Abazagorath. Asphyx were at the forefront whereas Abazagorath have always been followers and totally not influential |

| I don't judge a band based on their influence, I judge their albums based on how I think they sound. An 8 seems appropriate for me, whereas the latest Asphyx I'd probably give an 8.3. Two very good albums that I'd readily suggest to others but nothing that hasn't been done before by others. |

Like I said Asphyx are Asphyx and it's their sound which they invented whereas Abazagorath's sound has been done by loads of bands before them. Enjoyable but nothing more and really something only for fans of the band. |

| I've always thought this was an underrated usbm act as well. I enjoyed Sacraments thoroughly, but this new ep hasn't excited me as much, only a couple notable tracks. I am interested to see what's in store though, hopefully a full album and then some live shows would be great! |

Definitely underrated, and hopefully a full-length will be released soon. It's been long enough I think. |
