III: Elder (9:01-17:41)
(Short, proggy, psychedelic)
Master of Confusion: Blood Ceremony (19:01-25:49)

Szechenyi: Obake (26:54-31:22)
(Experimental, jazz, doom – you MUST get this!)
Edge of the Sky: Morne (31:54-36:59)
(Atmospheric threads, album does not do their live show justice)
The Art of Being Nothing: Cosmonaut’s Day (37:32-40:47)
(Instrumental, ambient and chaotic)
Porcelain God: Dopethrone (41:24-45-59)

(Irish folk metal by Metal Blade)
Leaving Nothing but the Absence of Everything: Young and in the Way (54:11-56:11)
(Not just crust)
And for the number one album – Batillus (Furnace) (57:00-end, listen!)
Listen through to the end, not just a one note album or song! Hoping for a new album and tour soon! This is a band to check out live for SURE!
