I'm a fan of Stolen Years. Might throw that album on tomorrow. I haven't had a listen to it in a while after heavy hinging upon its release.

Saw that earlier. Weird that it's referred to as being unreleased as there was a 7" version of it released ten years ago or more.

Wierd indeed... seeing as I'm looking at the 7" in my hands right now ;D

Could it perhaps be a signal of further Plagued activity? The thick plottens!

Any sign of a new Primordial album in the pipeline?

I see Mr Avril and Bones (amongst others) from Dread Sovereign collaborated with Wolvennest (who are class) for that Roadburn special Nest...

I was listening to an update on Alan's patreon recently re new Primordial material - they are working on songs but doesn't sound like it's anywhere near being ready.

Maybe an album by the end of the year but next year more likely.

Aha, very good. I saw him at both The Ruins Of Beverast and the Wardruna gigs a couple of weeks ago. He seemed in top tune both nights...

If any of you are slugging a few tonight. You could do worse than throw on that Nest live video in the link on my previous post. What a performance that was...



Ive met him about 10 times over the years and it's developed into a Mr Burns/Homer Simpson situation so I give up.

Listening to TGW (and on proper speakers once the Mrs heads off to work), the closer is such a fucking choon. It's such a dense album that it's easy get worn out, but some way to end what is, for me, their undisputed chef d'œuvre.

Also, that pseudo-trad song off Imrama is a bit of a gem too. The bodhrán sound is dreadful (or else it's a total amateur playing) but it's goosebump inducing stuff if you're in the right mood.

Just seen on FB they seem to be hinting at some sort 'Best of' album...and a 'volume 1' at that, would be a bit of a strange move.

Perhaps they have a deal with Metal Blade to release a certain amount? Contract obligations and that?

"Do the Best Of first, then we'll see about getting you a Live At Budokan, promise."

I think it's just a Spotify playlist as an introduction for new listeners.
