Falling Snow is my fav song of theirs, but can't argue with that one either. m/



Also: Nah Serpent slays too [2]



First 3 albums are all easy 5's but Pale Folklore is a top 2 album of all time for me so.

i actually could never get into folklore, hawks. gonna try it again though, it's been like 3 years. mantle, this, and marrow are all damn near perfect though. serpent is good but i don't think it's even remotely close to this

I don't think Marrow or Serpent can touch the first 3 albums and they're both still easy 4.5's for me lol. But yeah bro give Pale Folklore another chance hard, easily one of the best albums ever made for me.



Check the new Pillorian album too if you haven't yet. So fucking underrated around here.

That's crazy Hawks, fair enough though. As much as I do like Pale Folklore it just doesn't compare to this or The Mantle for me.

Atmosphere on Pale Folklore is what puts it over the top for me.

Hawks - stupid question (as I see you as some sort of all-knowing metal sage)... how the heck am I supposed to organise my listening correctly? I feel overwhelmed. Part of me wants to persevere within one subgenre or even a time period within said subgenre, the other likes a bit of variety but that means I don't get anywhere.



First world problems, I know...

Honestly bro I can't organize my own listening so I don't think I'll be of much help lol. I jump all over the place in terms of genre.

Fair enough. Do you use Spotify playlists, or would you if you knew less metal like me? It might be less time consuming jamming individual tracks & seeing what grabs me. There must be some decent DM/BM/melo-death/thrash ones out there etc?

I don't like jamming individual tracks because I like to hear everything in a concept of an album but that's just me. Yeah I mean I have a giant black metal list if you wanna get into that genre lol.
