I got through the playlist today whilst WFH.

Takeaways are, Count Raven, Pale Divine, Doomsday Profit (interesting take on Sludge/Doom I thought) with a potential revisit of Apocalypse Orchestra as I had dismissed their album from this year after a listent through, however I found that track on the playlist good enough to pique my interest again.

Just cannot get into the new Evoken for some reason.  Not that I would class myself as an existing fan anyways but it does lack any lasting appeal unfortunately.  Still don't get Sunn 0))), no matter how hard I try they are just lost on me.

Good to see Primitive Man on the list though.

I've listened to a couple of time. Really busy at work, so it was background the first time around.

However, Gloomlord made me take notice even through the first listen probably my favourite new listen. Also Doomsday Profit, Tombs, Pale Divine amongst others and that's one of my favourite Electric Wizard songs you closed the playlist with and nice to hear Count Raven again - haven't listened to them in quite some time.
