If they work hard enough they might be able to create an atmosphere like Sleep Token one day

Trueeee



Unfair to compare anyone to Sleep Token though, they are literally the epitome of metal perfection

I’m certainly not a BM fiend by any means, but every time I return to the sorrow after a lil break I have more relevant experience in my locker as a point of comparison

this still clears most with consummate ease, their strong Viking folk influences probably help but their BM period is my fave

I’ll dip back into the others. Let’s see if Verisäkeet is still numero uno (had that 4.5d once upon a time).

Verisakeet strikes a perfect balance for me. It's like Blood Fire Death, but transitioning from folk metal to black metal instead of the other way around.

Verisakeet is best, but you can't go wrong with Moonsorrow.

God, the consistency in the progressions on this are stellar. I mean the first track in particular is so damn satisfying. I would say it's my preference between the two upon revisiting, but admittedly side b nearly claws back the deficit with an outstanding resolution towards the back end.

What a fantastic album and band. Verisäkeet is still hovering with intent as it was once in the lead, yet gun to my head, this might be their peak after all.

On 'the list' she goes (an almost pointless procedural endeavour cos this is an inevitable promotion, I just get a kick out of en masse promotions rather than doing them 1-by-1 for 'reasons', lol)

Verisakeet is their peak, but you really can't go wrong at all. Band is extremely GOATed.
