Still great after all these years! Although I was a little worried around the time of Outside the Gate, they have retained their style and power. They have outlived a lot of bands, hands down.

I have been a listener since The Mid-80's, and I think I have possibly scared a couple of people with my love of their music back then and that's the way I liked it.

Well they have done it again haven't they? The new release MMXXII has just proved that a band in their 50's can make music that is exciting, provocative, political and powerful.

They are barely a Metal band at all but it's the easiest place to put them but it also limits their appeal to newcomers.

What a band and the vocalist grew up around five minutes away from where I live (useless fact of the day).

listening to the s/t now (2003)

pretty ok but it doesn't really have an identity, unlike "Night Time"

Good grief. The 2003 s/t is one of their best albums. Night Time? Meh.

look, I just find Night Time more cohesive - at least it's "gothic metal" throughout
