I Iove it, but I won't deny:

These guys feel to me like Today is the Day on a lot of anti-depression drugs. And I actually like how they sound! Thanks for the reference! :)

When I lived in Indiana, I saw these guys a couple times. If you like noise, you may like them too:

Mgla, from Poland

Poland has been a powerhouse for extreme metal: Vader, Decapitated, Batushka, Graveland, Dies Irae... This particular song from Mgla is my all time fave from these guys. Groza is another incredible album.
This one is a little bit long.

Behemoth, to me, sounded a looooot better by the times of Zos Zia Kultus or Thelema.6. They have always been quite melodic, but I think they overproduce their music nowadays.

Disagree with @Vacceo. ;) Clearly not their best, IMHO.
This one, tho...

Warning-edit: I just forgot these fuckers did NSBM in their earlier days...:facepalm:

(The latter being one of my favourite Death Metal album ever)

Yup, M's early projects aside, Mgła still have problematic connections to Mikko Aspa, playing as the live lineup of Clandestine Blaze for instance. Those are damn fine compositions, but personally I just can't vibe to their music anymore, same with DsO, Inquisition etc.

Nothing wrong with your choice. I guess my prefference for V comes from the fact that I loved it when I listened to to it live. :D

Indeed the black metal scene in Poland (in Greece too) has strong ties with the Nazi ideology and that is highly problematic. But MGLA's artistic abilities are undeniable. They definitely know how to create nightmares.
