How do you like it? My CDs of both volumes are due in today. Smile

Looking at the tracklist I suspect Volume Two will be the winner for me; how would you compare the two (assuming you've got both)?

A pleasant surprise this year (lyrically).

What do you like about it? I just get more of the, we're so mighty and let's rock kind of lyrics they do so much of.

It just seems more positive and less dark than they’ve been doing in recent years. The lyrics are still not for the lactose intolerant, of course.

Honestly, I play it as soothing background music. Masterfully done of course.

Ha, fair enough! And speaking of Finnish melodic metal bands doing acoustic albums... Very Happy

have you heard Miriam's album? It's one of my favorites for this year; really fantastic stuff.

Wow, I don't think I'm familiar with Miriam. Thank you, I will check them out.

Enjoy! I think they're an excellent band; all three albums are definitely worth owning and get pretty regular play from me. I've chatted with them briefly on FB and they're very friendly folks too. Smile

I've been listening to them since 2019. Pretty solid retro metal

by Black Rider Wed Oct 12, 2022 6:09 pm

They're solid, not Striker level but up with Warrior Path.

I love em all. The general favorite as you probably know is Dirt. Great album too. But for some reason the self titled album I listen to more. It just has this green slime clinging off it, dripping from some sort of dark, thick, heavy sludge leaking out of some dark cavernous sewerage pipe, hole! It's great.
