musical taste

favorite bands

music,

	Valdrin Throne of the Lunar Soul late year contender for 2023 best in black metal. up there with stormruler's recent LP. look nowhere else for combining the bombast, melodicism and fury of 90s symphonic black with modern sensibilities and incredible leads. if you jammed moonlight sorcery, give this a go	4.5 11.28.23
	Shylmagoghnar Convergence these guys do epic like almost no other band without sounding too cheesy. i think the real deciding factor is how committed you are to hearing 67 minutes of atmoblack with glossy production	4.0 11.16.23
	Ch'ahom Knots of Abhorrence genuinely great dissodeath. integration of latin tribal influences could have been more seamless, but brings enough to the table to maintain an interesting listen throughout	4.5 11.12.23
	Insomnium Songs of the Dusk continues their trend of releasing frustratingly good-but-not-great material	3.5 11.06.23
	Crystal Coffin The Curse of Immortality might bump, super solid mix of styles make up this groovy and atmospheric meloblack album	4.0 11.02.23
	Wayfarer American Gothic	2.5 10.31.23
	Wayfarer A Romance with Violence	4.5 10.13.23
