Have you listened to the one-man Indonesian project called Pure Wrath? The album is Bleak Days Ahead. Wonderbox Metal compared it to Panopticon and Winterfylleth (for fans of, anyway).

Wow could not imagine you had the same "starter" bands into metal as me. In Flames came first for me thou. The Ghost of a Future Dead have been on nonstop, RIP Tompa.

I’m looking forward to hearing the Bewitched album and if I don’t like it, hey, C’est La Vie!
See what I did there…? 😎

Have a hard line against clean vox, an yet kept returning to the new Firmament. Kept in my bandcamp cart for DAYS, wrestling with my own aesthetic boundaries🤯 Then saw your review on Monday an was like "Damn its on blast now" 😂 Ordered my hard copy and so glad I did. Absolute beautiful release, inside and out.

Awesome video Lindsay! I love how you always have unique recommendations that I don't see on other metal channels. Especially metal in Scottish Gaelic 🤘🤘

The ghost of a future dead hit quiet hard, I was never very connected with at the gates but even knowing the story of this album it got me very emotional and that's a great album

Oooo, didn't know you dabbled in Gaidhlig Lyndsay!? Tha sin inntineach! I got myself to a fairly fluent level but have got a bit rusty now ……. Your pronunciation of Cnoc an Tursa sounds spot on!

Great selection! A lot to hear this week…I would also like to add "The Death of all Dreams" from Grief Collector for all the doom lovers
PS: At The Gates and Cnoc An Tursa are in my top 10-15 albums of the year, just great altogether

The At The Gates album is outstanding! Sentiment aside I think it might actually be their best release! Rest In Power Tompa!
