18. Skyforest - "Reminiscence" (from "Unity", 2016)

Made the most of the bank holiday and listened through this playlist today.  I can safely say that I never want to listen to Skyforest again as long as I live and I was a little put off by Fermenting Innards also.  But on the whole I enjoyed this one.  I have started to limit myself to four takeaways a month and my four this time are: Thus Defiled, Beltez, Crurifragium and Fides Inversa.  Agatus would have been ahead of Beltez probably but since "Dawn of Martyrdom" is on feature this month for The North, I will still get to it anyways.
