Demon. TKS for the input. Although I enjoyed Blessed quite a lot, DiTC is what I'm talking about. The groove filled with those whipping riffs hit my weak spot. The vocal delivery on that one is amazing too. The drum and guitar song interludes are intense and fitting to the whole song and just give the enough prog vibe I also enjoy on these guys. yesyesyes...I've got a new favorite band. (please consider this in a first listen)

Edit: Blessed is in fact full of riffs but DiTC is full riffing bangers m/

No worries, yeah this has my favourite riffs & BBW has my favourite vibe/atmosphere. DitC is a nice balance of the two, Fury Whip has one of the catchiest riffs of all times & the t/t is a beast though so its not far behind. m/



I get something out of all their records but there's a clear (tiered) hierarchy for me

Just realized the vocalist vaguely reminds me of Lemmy from Motorhead. I cant stand Lemmy's vox but dont mind these at all.



Album is gnarly

These guys are the modern Motörhead (sort of), so yeah. Band rules. Obligatory m/ (seriously don’t m/often).

I m all on that modern motorhead thing, even if Pike is an oldie nonetheless

Maaaaaybe prefer Blessed Black, this starts like a blazing inferno and then there’s King of Days of course, but BBW is a hefty beast as well and makes for a more consistently satisfying listen.

I clearly love this yet I can’t tell anyone Madness of an Architect / Samsara / Spiritual Rights is an essential run with a straight face, it isn’t.

I love the almost unanimous appreciation for this magnificent album. I also like to see the trail is still flowing almost 10 years later.
