Yellow Eyes - Sick with Bloom
92

really awesome. i love the textures present, such as brittle sounding wind chimes (i think thats what they are) and the riffs are actually great. Probably the best RABM release I've found so far.

Giles Corey - Giles Corey
99

pain in an album with delightful folk instrumentation.

Scorpion Wind - Heaven Sent
85

Boyd is easier to stomach with some simple neofolk chords in the background.

Mgła - Exercises in Futility
75

catchy, highly accessible bm, with a strong low end and a great drummer. Very strange stuff, but damn is it fun to listen to. Lyrics are a weak point, which wouldn't be a problem if they werent so damn easy to understand. Yeah the vocals aren't "clean" but they aren't exactly "harsh" either.

Body Void - Ruins
88

Awesome shit. Takes sludge to the extreme, instead of doom + hardcore, its more like drone + crust

100

probably the best thing ill ever hear. So utterly sad, and comforting. Also this album slaps. Some really in your face catchy songs like deep deep and black metal records, and some better than sex buildups too, like in hunter and of course, earthmover.

Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger
83

pretty good. favorite track: skald au satans sol.

Natural Snow Buildings - Daughter of Darkness
75

I find it has less interesting ideas than the winter ray or dance, and its length is the most interesting thing about it. Slept to it once and that was a horrible experience, so thats a plus.

Dissection - Storm of the Light's Bane
75

pretty good but overhyped

Death In June - All Pigs Must Die
70

not their best work but good

Death In June - Burial
60

death of the west is great, fields and heaven street are amazing, and nirvana's alright.

Death In June - But, What Ends When the Symbols Shatter?
99

solid 95, but I'll give it a 99 to counteract the 0 bombers. If you arent ready to separate the art from the artist, you have no business listening to neofolk and should excuse yourself.
Favorite tracks: The golden wedding of sorrow, Death is the martyr, Hollows of devotion

Horn - Jahreszeiten
95

Probably my favorite pagan bm record, just utter peak and awesomesauce. Cant get into this bands other work, but the rawness and harsh vocals obliterate the cheese inherent to pagan bm. fav track: the fading landscapes glory.
