I'm not much of a metal fan, and had been urged to listen to this band by a friend ever since Ashes Against The Grain came out. I never bothered, until this year. Man am I glad I did. This band are something else. Mantle and Ashes are both perfect in their own ways, and Pale Folklore would have been so much better with proper production.
I haven't given that most recent album a whirl, but have heard mixed things. Is it an enormous departure from the sound of earlier efforts? As good/worthwhile as Ashes Against The Grain? Any thoughts would be great.
