Really enjoyed this month's playlist. Managed to get through it in one sitting this morning which is rare during work hours.
Fluisteraars continue to please me the more I hear from them with the largely shortened format of their releases making them a quick win. My other major takeaway was a reminder to check out that Altar of Plagues record again as keep meaning to write a review for it but never quite get around to it. Profane Order are new to me but liked what I heard here of them.
New Marduk and Tsjuder sound promising so must add them to the "to do" list.
Nice list again Ben. Of the stuff I was unfamiliar with, Tsjuder and Profane Order chimed with me the most. I haven't ever listened to Rebel Extravaganza before and enjoyed the track from it a fair bit. I also enjoyed the Gespenst and Ifernach tracks.
I'm not sure about the last track by Bríi, I think I will have to check out a bit more from them, but it did pique my interest. Of the stuff I know, Ancient, Deathspell and Altar of Plagues were big yesses. Marduk sounded just how I expected them to and Trhä and Mgla didn't really set my world on fire.
All in all though, an enjoyable couple of hours whilst decorating the living room. How about a new tagline, "The Metal Academy Playlist - makes household chores almost bearable!"
