    Should be saving money for this pandemic but I'm buying CDs lol. Bought this along with the album by that Icelandic band you reviewed last week. Listening to this right now and must say I am in love with it so far. Thanks Rauta \m/

    was absolutely floored and impressed by this release, instant purchase/ pickup when it dropped. Their splits with Iku-Turso and Gratzug are phenomenal too. Good stuff!

      Great! I actually just got that Iku-Turso 7" split for review last week. It should be out soonish.

    Ouch, 15 fullengths in 10 years, when I stumble across these band that have enormous discographies ,I almost always hopes that they suck so that I don't have to bother with them. Gonna check this out later.

      Some of them are not that good unfortunately. Luckily the newer albums are of better quality.

    • @douglasquaid7550
      @douglasquaid7550 4 года назад +4

      Ok, that's another problem, when band have huge discographies, you can easily go wrong by choosing a bad album and then dismissing the rest which can be of better quality, I will check their newer albums first then.

    To be honest I personally struggle with bands that have such a high amount of releases, be it Kalmankantaja, Drowning The Light or Hermodr. If you did discovered them just a tad too late, they already released so much material that I don't even want to invest the time it would need to pick out the better albums between the (most the time) big amount of mediocre material.

    • @robertvalknut3290
      @robertvalknut3290 4 года назад +1

      It even kinda feels, as if they wouldn't be focused enough to concentrate their strengths into less, but therefore much more solid material...

    • @halbeard2996
      @halbeard2996 4 года назад +2

      Agreed. Also if you happen to start with the wrong songs, the whole band might be ruined. Especially with artists, that change their style over time.

    • @RautaMetal
      @RautaMetal  4 года назад +2

      I've said the same over the years in my reviews. Quantity over quality is never the solution. Striborg is a good example of that. Never made a single album that made me to like it. Hermodr and Kalmankantaja are way better, even if they have some mediocre material, too.

  • @halbeard2996
    @halbeard2996 4 года назад

    I've been trying to listen to Kalmankantaja a couple of times already but just couldn't get into them at all. Giving it one more go with the albums you've recommended.
