I'm having such a Domine period after a couple of years. Would kill to see them live still. Power metal is so dead now that it could potentially be some "last very good power metal gig". Morby's vocals seem as good as ever on newer clips, even when he's become grey. :D How would you rate their albums - which one is the best? What about their songs?

Okay, okay, you absolutely nailed your old recom! Listening to Vast Oceans Lachrymose finally, for the second time now, and already seriously falling in love in this band. Already Kodex-ian moments of epicness and grandiose, glimpses of genius. Also loving these shorter, heavier songs. Definitely having to buy all WHW's albums very soon at this rate! :D Btw, check the new Solstice album, if you already haven't! This, for instance, was up there with best songs of 2018 for me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2wKogvu2Ng. I can now see how and from where Atlantean Kodex gets their songs! :D

Thou needs to listen to Rebellion's Sagas of Iceland - History of the Vikings Volume I right NAO! Uwe Lulis' post-Grave Digger band. What a powerful album! :)

Yah, maybe they aren't that unique in their style though, that might be it. Leagues away from stuff like Wuthering Heights and VS in that department. ;)

Are you by the way familiar with Firewind? A Greek band. I like these two first albums when they still had this guy called Stephen Fredrick on vocals. Very manly power metal! :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ulx_U-2iujI

Okay, I absolutely love it! I'd even go as far as to rate it among the very best studio albums of the band! Some of the many, many highlights include Conjuration of the Watcher, Hellfire Woman, Children of the Storm, The Chosen Ones, The Redeemer, I Am the One, Guardians of the Flame... almost every song is phenomenal, whether fast or slow, new or old, original or modified! :)

I need to re-listen to it before I say anything. I seem to remember I absolutely love the majority of the content! :)

I always confuse While Heaven Wept and Heaven Shall Burn with each other due to their names... :D HSW received some massive hype last summer in a festival I was entering: "they're awesome, you just HAVE To go check it!" Thinking it was WHW, I went, and some awful core shit suddenly blasted out of the speakers. I left the scene pretty much immediately... :D Now WHW is the one I should give a listen some time! They've been on my "bands to listen to" list for years... I hate that list. It justs keeps growing and growing, and I rarely find time or inspiration to get to know new bands anymore. It feels like I already know too much music; there's barely time to listen to all the old favorites, let alone new ones! :D -- Anyways, yeah, I think AT has many similar things to early Manowar, especially on The Golden Bough. I love Manowar, the early records most of all! Maybe you've never really been into it just because you're bothered by the Virgin Steele comparisons? :P

Nice I could be able to sell it to you, even though you were sceptical about the vocalist first! ^-^ Nowadays that's one of my very favorite albums EVER! When I first began to hype this band to you I still wasn't this ridiculously much into it myself, but now I am... Easily one of the best album's I've ever heard is The White Goddess... Nothing wrong with The Golden Bough either! Right up there on par with Marriages, Invictus, and other real good stuff! ;P

I had to order a shirt too. :D Might get another one soon if the first one seems good, free postage and all. The White Goddess is a magnificent, grandiose, absolutely massive album. I'm completely hooked to it now. It gets better with every single listen! The kodex tells of days to come, a winter without end / who's left to tell our story as rose clouds of ash descend? / fortress Europa falling, none left to defend / enthroned in clouds and fire, ancient harbinger of the end. Sheer goose bumps and feeling small next to that huge roar of music, like with so many other parts of the album as well! ^_^

Today I start a "prog week" with my friend. The White Goddess is one of my first two albums in line for listening. :D

Some of those shirts are very nice. I want a white one now! :P Too bad many have some random gig name or tour schedules in the back though. Would be irritating to wear that kind of shirt without ever being in an actual gig. -.-

Gotta listen to that album again soon after some time. So epic shit! I still have the real deal unopened in its wrapper. :(
