Re. Nasum, had to do a double take didn't even know anything about this at all. Must give it a lash. I have the original release which I love so be interesting to hear.

It is the first note of Nasum I have heard so I have no idea how it compares.  A bit more info on it here https://www.nasum.com/vaultblog.php?id=85&fbclid=IwY2xjawMwtxtleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFwc2xiR09yWENMRWdWY2VZAR4x2hAoJe-BDt9jvwsKe823CkPuEt284w1_o4hhL8P-y3unM2z7oUMey995rQ_aem_kZY1lN-g_vIBkWCjEDVOpA

Also @Anvil, Blood in Our Wells is one of my top-ten albums, if not top-five. I surely am not alone in that opinion, I'd imagine/hope.

Picked it up cheap a few weeks ago as it was missing from my collection. Still missing the first two.  Need to listen to it more but so far I think it is a great album.

Cruel Force - Under The Sign of the Moon
The Wizards - The Exit Garden

Thanks for the link, yeah I recall reading about it quite sometime ago, foggy old age brain strikes again.

Last six:
Throne of Ahaz – On Twilight Enthroned (1996, Swedish black metal full of great riffs. I was a bit late to the party on this band, only buying the two albums in 2007 due to the track on Blackened I probably being the worst thing they've done; embarrassingly, I reckon there are three direct matches for some of the riffs in some stuff I recorded before that...).

Mundanus Imperium – Ode to the Nightsky (1997, class atmospheric black metal from Norway, bought this EP after hearing it on a compilation the Cardinal gave me. I think this is a real under-rated gem that got lost in the crowd. Ended up signing for Nuclear Blast, but the album was nowhere near as good).

Hades – Again Shall Be... (1994, plodding Norwegian black metal. Year on year, I oscillate between seeing this as over- or under-rated. A bit different from some of the bands around the time, with the slow place and focus on creating an atmosphere).

Ancient – Svartalvheim (1994, probably the last Ancient album people can agree on being good. Cool atmosphere and again a bit different from the other bands. I also like the next album, but many hate it, as it is a bit cheesy).

Obtained Enslavement – Witchcraft (1997, keyboard-laden atmospheric Norwegian black metal. Features Pest, Gorgoroth's best vocalist, full of cool riffs and arrangements and might be one of the best albums of this style. Next one was muck, and it annoyed me so much that I never bothered to listen to the fourth album).

Godkiller – The Rebirth of the Middle Ages (1996, keyboard-laden atmospheric black metal from Monaco, of all places. I bought this on CD years ago for the novelty of having something by a band from Monaco, found it boring and proceeded to go 25 years or more without listening to it. Prompted to give it another go when I saw this week that it had been re-released a while back. I was wrong, it is great stuff, not sure what I was thinking. Supposed I had better give Mithotyn another go now as well...).
