Revisited Iotunn after a while. Such a unique record. My only quibble is that I don't
love the way it sounds, but the songs are majestic. Waves Below, in particular, is massive.
I've been enjoying Satan's latest SO much. I've only discovered them recently, but from what I've read these NWOBHOM veterans have been on an incredible run since they've reformed about ten years ago. Really good, vintage sound, with a ton of great riffs and interesting twists and turns. At times, this album sounds like a "lighter" Mercyful Fate (minus the vocals). But in general there is an urgency in the playing that's very refreshing. Bonus points: one of the guitar players and the bass player were also in my beloved Skyclad.
