November 2025 - Feature Release - The Fallen Edition
November heralds my turn once more to nominate the Fallen feature release. I am gonna go with the 2005 debut album from Finnish funeral doom titans Tyranny, entitled "Tides of Awakening".
Feel free to let us know how awesome you think this album is, either in a full-scale review or via a comment in this here thread.
Just as an example of how many fuckers will try to rip you off nowadays, I have been trying to get a reasonably-priced copy of this for ages now and saw one on Discogs for 23 Euros, so dipped in for a look and the guy selling it wants to charge 100 Euros for shipping - from Norway to the UK. Alongside tales of scalpers buying up tickets for the forthcoming Iron Maiden tour (and many others), so they can sell them back to real fans at extortionate prices it makes my damn blood boil.

That's fucking ludicrous.
I must say Sonny, this is a sterling funeral doom metal album. I was completely speechless once the opening track started and I am on my third listen in 24 hours right now as I type this. I will definitely be adding a review for this one in the coming days.
Great stuff Vinny. Glad you like it.
