This was an absolute belter of a list and I've played through it three times now. The only thorn in this bed of (black) roses is the Ereb Altor track - I really took against their new album as a whole and this track illustrates why. Whoredom Rife, Nameless Mist, Wiegedood and the Havukruunu track were all new to me and I loved them.

Excellent work everyone involved and thanks Ben for one of the best playlists yet.

Glad you enjoyed it Sonny! I certainly can't take all that much credit, as you guys selected the vast majority of tracks. I can recommend the Wiegedood and Nameless Mist albums, as I've been given them quite a few spins (that term probably doesn't apply these days but whatever).

I'd be interested to hear what people think of the Funeral Mist track I kicked off with. I'd not heard this album before and it's actually pretty interesting.

My takes from this list are, Mystras, Funeral Mist (know them but not heard much recent output from them), Nameless Mist and Wiegedood who I also know but I am used to them sounding more aggressive than that frankly weird sounding track of undulating tremolos.

Didn't mind that Funeral Mist, at the same time I wasn't instantly blown away by it either.
