hedies23 Man this takes me back. One of the most unique black metal albums I've ever heard, still to this day. Bonafide 10/10 for my tastes.

edd-boi Love a good wind instrument with acoustics playing. Favorite track: Where Mountains Pierce the Sky.

Nocturnal Egg (Jordan) Le son des pieds qui s'enfoncent dans la neige, un black metal atmosphérique qui s'abat comme une tempête de grêle et tranche la peau, des violons polaires : Roads To The North est aussi glacial qu'un album de Paysage d'Hiver (surtout Schnee). En tout cas au début. Panopticon nous invite en fait moins à une méditation statique qu'à une randonnée, une ascension jusqu'aux sommets. On y accède à pieds en surpassant la douleur, en train en profitant du folklore. C'est un grand parcours initiatique. Favorite track: Where Mountains Pierce the Sky.

Obsidian One The opening track — what can I say? Transcendent, cosmic, sublime. This is Mare Cognitum, and probably my favorite album by the artist (though 'Luminiferous' and 'Solar' are not far behind). I discovered Mare through the split with Spectral Lore and have spent many hours with their other releases as well. Although it's black metal, there's nothing particularly "black" about it; the music feels dreamlike, melodic, celestial, and free of any superficial ideology. Sensational. Favorite track: Weaving The Thread Of Transcendence.

papi_gingy_ When you're listening to Mare Cognitum, there's no such thing as a "dull moment." This entire album packs a mean punch. This project has no bad albums. Favorite track: Noumenon.

Wheels of Mercury This purchase was long overdue. One of my all-time favourite atmospheric black metal albums. Pretty much a masterpiece, if I say so myself. Favorite track: Weaving The Thread Of Transcendence.
