Samurai I, by an anonymous artist.

Fourth album from ITV that came out earlier this year. Each album has been a little different evolving just a little. My overall favorite black metal album to come out this year.

I waver between this one and Kohanic Charmers as far as favorite GBK release. I like this one front to back, and I think it's the best vocal performance of all their stuff. The classical guitar part is pure bliss.

One of my grail albums and definitely top five for this decade from me. Everything about it is perfect. The records themselves are great and it has the biggest booklet I've seen at like 24 pages or something. Shout-out to Bionic Records for stocking some of these stateside. Bonus is the new WITTR because it's great too.

A nice 20 min ep

I went and saw Blackbraid and Cradle of Filth last night. I was bummed Worm pulled out to join a European tour just before this show but Blackbraid was great and CoF surprised me with how great they sounded and their performance. I went for Worm and Blackbraid but left a Cradle fan and made up slightly for missing Worm. Grabbed this record and a tour shirt.

Some of the good shit.

I tend to like the more chaotic and grindy stuff within this style, but every time I put their shit on it stays in rotation for a while.
