Agalloch has always been one of the best bands. This to me is their most unpopular of the albums but one of the better ones. This album has strong black and folk metal influence and is very dark, but uplifting. The album starts out slow and catches speed but then is able to slow down and close the album very well. Although I'm not too much of a black metal fan, i love how Agalloch can fuse in the perfect amount of death, doom, ambience, and folk all together. Although I like their other 2 albums more, i can extremely respect the works of this masterpiece. Overall Rating: 7.5/10
Crimson Thorn was literally the first death metal band i ever really got into and became a fan of. Although this album is extremely amazing, it doesn't really have the best songs in existence (like Asphyxiated from their album Dissection). This album does have some amazing songs though. Like Lacking Compassion and Sarcastic Deviation. People state they are Death Metal/Grindcore, but they defenitely are not. They are death metal with jazz and groove elements poked in here and there. This album i got in the mail today with a slip cover and bonus tracks (which i wasn't expecting) But this album is sheer christian masterpiece. Overall Rating: 9.99999/10
I found out about Billy Fraser a couple of months ago. I sent out money to buy his second album and loved it, so him and i scoured the earth to find a copy of his first (because he didn't have any copies). I got it in the mail today and was amazed at how good it was. It was death metal with random spouts of jazz and death breakdowns. Defenitely the best album i've bought to this date. Overall Rating: 20/10
