They're obviously not a black metal band anymore, so I thought it would be wrong to put them in that forum. I'm listening to some of Blood Inside now, and I'm quite liking it, so it's a hit from me.

Quite definately a hit. They might not make stuff as good as Bergtatt any more, but Blood Inside was pretty good for what it was.

Missy. I like some of it (perdition city and such) but really if I wanted to listen to that kind of shit I would listen to it by musicians of that genre, not by some black metal sellouts.

Massive Hit. Perdition City and Blood Inside are great listens when I'm in a mellow mood, and stuff like a Quick fix of Melancholy and Lycantropean Themes are great meditation albums.

The Marriage of Heaven and Hell is on a level all of it's own.

Well put. Perdition City on Acid is mind opening.

Didn't really like Blood Inside and haven't really got into that William Blake thing yet so miss.

However, A Quick Fix of Melancholy is maybe my favourite ambient record, so there are definite hits amongst the miss.

Hit. Blood Inside got a little bleh after a while, but still had its moments. However A Quick Fix of Melancholy is excellent.

Hit. Rather than change styles and fail in their new direction, they do what they do now well.

Perdition City is their all-time best for me (yes, better than their first three), but Blood Inside is pretty good, too. A bit tedious from time to time and not as moody and powerful as Perdition City, but there's some songs like Operator and Christmas that are nothing short of brilliant.

Edit: for all you morons out there: Hit.

I say its a hit, the reason why I like these guys is that they dont give a fuck what people want they just do whatever they feel like doing.
