I was never the one for black metal, but I still enjoyed the somewhat more symphonic interpretation of Bal-Sagoth. And I was always a bit sad that they'd stopped recording new stuff by the time I found them.
Well, only yesterday it turned out to me that they'd since regathered and reformed, and recently threw out
something brand new in this realm of ours. It's pretty much all I've been listening since then, and is doing a great deal of good for this ocean short story I've been writing lately.

If you like this sort of stuff, give it a spin. I like Vow of the Exiled the best myself.
(Oh, and Scourge of the Silver Wings is currently in a Goodreads giveaway. If you live in North America and haven't picked it up yet, you could participate and maybe win a print copy.)
