Words can not express how great this album is, I have heard of Atmospheric and Blackmetal. But this introduced me into Atmospheric blackmetal and I am in love with it. Favorite track: From Life To Spirit.

I love atmospheric black metal like this. Check my library and you'll see most of it consists of black metal bands even though I'm more of a brutal death metal guy.
Why? Well, atmospheric black metal like this is a refreshing change from the overplayed satanic and gory themes. Sometimes, Im just in the mood to listen to something more calming yet aggressive when I am having a hectic day at work or be lost in my thoughts during hikes or runs.
Favorite track: Winter Night.

Atmospheric and tranquil, Eldamar's music is black metal that feels neither dark nor aggressive. The vocals — both the harsh, distant screams and the ethereal female chants — drift elegantly in and out of the mix. 'Spirit of the North' is the track that evokes the strongest memories in me, and I really like the follow-up album, A Dark Forgotten Past, as well. Beautiful and powerful, just like nature itself.
Favorite track: Spirit Of The North.

An esoteric album if there ever was one. A very unique release in pretty much every facet, from the production to the songwriting. But worth listening to every second.
Favorite track: Ten Thousand Spears Atop The Bleeding Mountains.

Very good effort by Zeicrydeus! It sounds very nostalgic, a callback to 80s melodic/black metal.
Favorite track: Profane Spells & Naked Swords In the Emerald Meadows of Nhaath.

Bass tone and solos are godly. All in all a great album
Favorite track: Godsteel (Blood Of The Third Son).

Not on my bingo card this year but what exactly can be expected but the unexpected? '26 bringin' Cap'n Adzo thumpin' away on psychedelic black metal? Why not, life really IS much stranger...
