House of When" was pretty unlike anything I've heard -- like his work with Daughters, plus a lot more instruments and sounds, and minus any kind of song structure. Strangely related because 1) she sings on the album, and 2) she recently accused him abuse. I'm assuming based on previous posts you're probably ok with listening to good music by bad people...thuja_spnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7723793381393106663.post-36600089099028240342021-12-18T19:23:55.254-08:002021-12-18T19:23:55.254-08:00A lot to explore.

Miasmata was a good discovery - melodic BM isn't often done well these days but those Windir-esque leads are to die for. <br /><br />My BM album of the year is Koldovstvo - Ни царя, ни бога. <br />Notwithstanding that you're tiring of raw BM, this is the real deal: crypt-like but surprisingly catchy and hypnotic.
