One of my favorite albums, this and Kveldssanger.  Can't say I'm a huge fan of their newer sound, but they really made something epic in their early days...

I just got an email from Season of Mist telling me they didnt get enough copies of the limited splatter version of Septic Flesh's Esoptron so they are going to get me the grey version and a copy of the splatter version of Mystic Places of Dawn as recompense...I guess having the limited red and limited splatter for Mystic Places of Dawn would be neat -_-

Mystic Places of Dawn is sooooo good.

Agreed on the Ulver. Kveldssanger was a great album. Even though they obviously strayed far from their BM roots, I liked some of their later electronic stuff-- primarily Perdition City, which I loved. Wild how many black metal bands moved into electronic music-- even Mayhem dabbled on Grand Declaration of War...

I guess what I meant was 'comparing older Ulver to newer, I'm not as much a fan of the newer stuff compared to the older' but I do think the more recent stuff is pretty good on it's own accord.  It's really like two different bands, and I've got a lot of respect for musicians that can pull that off the way they did.  Some BM bands can meld in elements of other genres pretty well, Carpathian Forest and Blut Aus Nord comes to mind.

I was a HUGE Chthonic fan back when Seediq Bale was released. It seems they've gone a lot more melodic and folky, which I don't mind, but I will always miss their more black metal sound. I still say Dani, in my opinion, is one of the most underrated drummers in the scene. 
 
Since we've been talking about them, I figure I'd leave this here.

And here's a useless little trailer.
 

First Gorguts and then this. Thank you dude.
 
I feel Ulcerate have the most EVIL SOUND in metal. Does anyone else share this opinion?

New Revocation track is pretty badass: http://www.metalsucks.net/2013/07/11/exclusive-track-premiere-revocations-invidious-featuring-the-banjo/
 
Enjoyed Existence is Futile, didn't care much for Chaos of Forms, thought this one had some promise though. 
 
Btw, random: if anybody else is interested (and as enamored of Sigh's Imaginary Sonicscape as I am), there is an awesome vinyl reissue that's finally shipping out this week here. Preordered my copy exactly two months before the estimated delivery date of July 17th, which pales in comparison to the years I've spent looking for a vinyl version of this album... Can't wait!! 
 
Although I don't even have my TT set up at the moment... Boo bears. 

Oh my Oh my.. New Revocation, Ulcerate and Gorguts. Good year!!!

Kveldssanger is one of my favorite albums of all time. There is no other Ulver stuff that I like as much

Mystic Places of Dawn is sooooo good.

Haha I know, I've already got the red vinyl for it, now I'll have the splatter too

just got mine yesterday, only one listen but i like it...almost a bit of finntroll influence in there

 

[Tom Yum Goong]

The new Devils Blood album could have been sooooo good :'(
Instead it's just okay.
Oh I'll really miss this band.
The first time I saw them live will forever be burned into my brain. Pure magic.

The only more intense live performance I ever witnessed, was Triptychons appearance at Wacken 2011.
