Managed to get through the playlist early this month.  Standout tracks for me were Totemesse who are completely new to me but that "Bastards" track was a fucking banger.  Good pick from Sonny on that Enslaved track, reminded me how expansive Enslaved always have been but that they have not always been the diluted version of themselvs that we have seen in the last few years.  Panopticon is an obvious winner but I do find that my time to listen properly to the music is limited when it is pushing 15 mins for one track.  Asagraum were very impressive also.

Did not enjoy that Valdrin track - heard them on a couple of other occasions and just do not hear the attraction.  That Progenie Terrestre Pura track started off okay but lost me around halfway through.

It says on the list that track 16 is Sarcofago but it is actually Spektr on the playlist itself in Spotify?
