Not the same without all the members that made the music matter for the most part. Still good, just kinda weak

Meandering and never seems to really find a solid direction or climax. Not bad, though. If this were any other band it would be very impressive. At it's heaviest points it sounds more or less like old Negura, but taken as a whole it still feels like a different band to me. Part of me wishes they had changed the name of the band when OM came out, rather than just reinventing Negura Bunget.

So, I just found out that the 2/3 of the original band are playing in Dordeduh, and it sounds way closer in spirit to Negura's classical albums.

Dordeduh slays. This is good but not as good as old Negura Bunget. At least the first song on Virstele Pamintului was astounding. Like said above, for NB - pretty good.

I have heard of Dordeduh, but was not aware it had the other NB members. I remember hearing a track a while ago and being underwhelmed, but maybe I just need to give it a second try. Thanks for the tip.
