Considering Strange Machines was a radio hit (... imagine that!! Those were the days) over here, I'd say this might be their most successful album sales-wise over here. It's their biggest hit to this day.

Yeah I remember browsing their old forum back in 2010 or smt and Hans Rutten confirmed that Mandylion was their most selling album.
I don't think anything has changed since then, especially considering Anneke's departure.

Took me a long time to start diving into this band's discog, but I'm really glad I did. This is some incredible stuff... fantastic vocals from Anneke, and of course, all those gothic doomy riffs I love. Can't wait to check out more of their work \m/

"Considering Strange Machines was a radio hit (... imagine that!! Those were the days) over here, I'd say this might be their most successful album sales-wise over here. It's their biggest hit to this day."
That's the crazy thing too. I'd always seen pictures of the 1996 Pinkpop performance, where they're playing to an absolutely massive crowd. At that point, I assumed they'd already shifted their sound for a more commercial approach, but then I actually watched the performance... and nope, they were still doing the goth/doom thing, and just managed to draw in such a large audience with that sound. Pretty amazing tbh

@Koris: The following album, Nighttime Birds is very good and a lot like this one! Band hasn’t put out a bad album (except Almost a Dance which has good songs but the ridiculous vocals kinda kill it). This though is an untouchable album

Yeah, I tried to listen to Almost a Dance, but it was pretty much unlistenable to me because of the vocals. The dude sounded like a cross between a third-rate Mike Patton and Edd from Ed Edd n Eddy. It's sad too, because the music itself was pretty solid :/
I'm definitely looking forward to Nighttime Birds though, I've heard a lot of good things about that one

Nighttime Birds is wholesome (my 2nd fave), enjoy!
and I keep putting off Almost a Dance but ngl this sold it to me... "The dude sounded like a cross between a third-rate Mike Patton and Edd from Ed Edd n Eddy"
perhaps sounds more amusing than it is, hmm... but who completes 95% of a game and then ditches it at the final boss, without even attempting the fight?
