As Richard puts it best...

"Charred Walls Of The Damned is muh faaaaavorite!"

Yeah, great CD, probably amongst my 5 favorites from the year thus far. My only complaint is that I think the songs seem a bit incomplete.

I think there a few songs like that, but some do feel complete to me. Either way, I'm just happy to hear Richard Christy behind the drums once again!

So far this year I've only heard Delphic - Acolyte and Burzum - Belus. The former has some immediately great tracks but a handful of them bored me, while the latter was initially unimpressive but is growing on me.

Has anyone else heard Belus yet?

Dark Funeral is my favorite black metal band right now, but I can see how people wouldn't like 'em.

I wanna hear Belus so bad. I wonder when I'll be able to order it.

I read that the second Control Denied album is finally gonna be out this summer. Let's hope it is, and let's hope its a helluva lot better than that first one Rip in peace Chuck.

Honestly, just download it or something. Varg doesn't deserve your money, but his music deserves your attention.

THe only reason I haven't mentioned Mutiny Within yet is because I haven't picked it up yet.

Something tells me that when I do that it will easily be in my top 3 favorites. Dream Theater meets Megadeth meets SYmphony X. My kinda band.

I also gotta check out the new HOF. Frost Hammer is such a badass song.

The albums I heard so far are Hellbilly Deluxe 2(Rob Zombie) and Mechanize(Fear Factory). Hellbilly Deluxe 2 is ok Mechanize is great and a far superior to Hellbilly deluxe 2. Im waiting for the obsidian conspiracy from Nevermore.
