'Eon 2' is the greatest Iron Maiden worship

Lovely review, can't wait to give this one a go. Loved Eternal Hails and all of their recent output so I'm expecting goodness. Darkthrone doesn't disappoint. They're having too much fun and it shows. Plus it's contagious.

This is up there with The Underground Resistance and Old Star as best post-90s Darkthrone, but I think Old Star is still the best of the 3

Eternal Hails might have edged out Old Star for me tbh. If this one has staying power though it may end up being my favorite of the bunch after I sit with it for awhile. Absolutely loving the riffs throughout this one

Old Star was so super nice agreed. Hard to pick between that and Hails, curious to see where this one goes.

everything about this is kind of cool, but there's just not enough there to truly make it outstanding or amazing.

Yeah, the title's definitely supposed to be funny, these guys have a goofy side.



@Sowing, check The Cult Is Alive for full-on humor value.

You just can't keep all the seriousness after the unholy trinity. They re about riffs, doomy bm and kinda rocky nowadays.

Totally get that Sowing. Just remember that a pinch of salt can be needed with these guys from time to time.

That riff at 4:16 in the sea beneath the seas is chef's kiss

I am but a mere amateur cook. Would you as a chef give that riff a kiss?
