Alas! The majestic Bal-Sagoth have unleashed their sixth opus on humanity! After a six year wait I can honestly say it is by far their greatest epic, bombastic battle metal at its finest.

1: The Sixth Adulation Of His Chthonic Majesty
2: Invocations Beyond The Outer-World Night
3: Six Score And Ten Oblations To A Malefic Avatar
4: The Obsidian Crown Unbound
5: The Fallen Kingdoms Of The Abyssal Plain
6: Shackled To The Trilithon Of Kutulu
7: The Hammer Of The Emperor
8: Unfettering The Hoary Sentinels Of Karnak
9: To Storm The Cyclopean Gates Of Byzantium
10: Arcana Antediluvia
11: Beneath The Crimson Vaults Of Cydonia
12: Return To Hatheg-Kla

Highlights include Arcana Antediluvia and The Obsidian Crown Unbound, (reaching hights of grandeur not seen since Starfire Burning Upon the Ice Veiled Throne of Ultima-Thule and The Splendour of a Thousand Swords Gleaming Beneath The Blazon Of The Hyperborean Empire Part II but this is really an album that deserves to be played from start to finish.



All hail Bal-Sagoth, barbarian metal kings! I dont think this one will be leaving my play list for a very long time.

with a thread topic like that id go find it and have a listen..... if they didnt have such stupid names

 :-o

Pillage his village and burn him!

Oh come on, everyone knows Disintegration is the best album ever.

Goblin

Sounds real special  :shock:

Its the best the Cure ever did, the least clubby and most accessible, but it doesnt crack my personal top 100.

Id rather listen to Bleedin Gums Murphy, tbh.

and that really explains the cataclysm of emotion and musical feeling going through your heart.

best album ever.

arguable

Eeeee, dont get me started on best albums ever style postings. Theres a lot to be said for keeping some thoughts to yourself before all and sundry claim XYZ is the best or ABC is crap.

I saw ABC live a few years back. They were good, but not as good as the Human League who were also on the bill (as well as Culture Club).
