If it takes me four weeks to record four bars, without vocals, how long would it take me to record an album? Dog star is on tour?! Namastè. 9:16

Icelandic is far away from the scandinavian language I speak, so, hey, I can't pronounce it either – good try – I guess (-;

Entropist is a sick record! Eternios is on my listen to list and from what I sampled, it does sound epic! Agree with those picks. Another great one this week was Entgeist – Welk. Sick blackened death metal record!
Have to check out the others too! Thanks for the video brother!
