Thanks for always having killer writing on this site.<br /><br />I did actually pick up Odinist, but wasn't as pleased as I'd hoped I'd be. I'd heard their older stuff and wanted to support what I think was a neat act, but I think I'm about done with them. “Godflesh with a killer hangover” is the best description imaginable.

He's trying a few new things, songwriting-wise, and there are a few tracks that really stand out from his usual soup of detuned chorus-heavy chromatics, I'm hoping he goes towards that direction in the future.<br /><br />The drum machine I find fitting and well-done, but I guess I might have a higher tolerance because when I listen to BAN I do not hear 'the metal band that could have been' underneath so much as I hear smart guitar compositions with a dark aesthetic around them. The black metal element has withered away and what's left is idiosyncratic, weird metal.

The riffing/songwriting is fantastic, but I missed a little bit of the overwhelming darkness of Mort. Just a great band. This is a really excellent album.
