Chimaira
Whatever else you can say about CHIMAIRA, you can't accuse them of taking the easy way out.

Envaatnags Eflos Solf Esgantaavne
One of the truly underground bands of the black metal elite, Finland's HORNA do much more than create grim feeling and cold atmosphere (though they do both exceedingly well). On "Envaatnags Eflos Solf Esgantaavne", the music is unequivocally black metal in the northernmost sense, but HORNA takes car...July 17, 2005

However, as with any NEVERMORE album, repeat listens to the 57 minutes of "This...July 9, 2005
