A good few pick ups from this month's list.  currenty spinning that Argentum album and have Solar Temple and Cabinet lined up for later also.  Good to see Drautran on the list, another band who put out one good record and then went on indefinite hiatus. Even more awesome is the Cirith Gorgor track from one of bm's more underrated albums.  That Misotheist album arrived on vinyl last week and is my bm record of the year so far.

You can't go wrong with Leviathan, ever.  I listened to that Woe track and remembered how great it was and then recalled how I went off the album really quickly (after about three listens), but still can't figure out why.

Not digging Caladan Brood or that Kostnatění track (was a bit too obscure for me and there was a saxophone on one of the tracks which also got an instant skip response.
