One of the most epic-sounding progressive black metal bands ever, and yet nobody I know seems to have heard of them. They've only got a three-song demo out thus far, but are currently working on a studio release, which should be awesome, if the song I've linked you to is of any indication.

They have a cool sound that I could see making an awesome album but I basically never listen to the EP

Those clean vocals are pretty bad. Other than that it's cool.

I'm that way with all EPs, honestly. Their briskness, regardless of the running time, renders them as the least listened-to of all the albums I own.

Yeah same now that I think of it. Especially when the band doesn't have any longer releases. I'm biased towards an album and need a full one to really sell me on a band.

Salome's is one EP which I love listening to on a consistent basis. Kinda voids the EP category because it is around forty minutes.

This sounds pretty damn awesome, cheers for the find Octavarius.

But this is hardly black metal, no?

I imagine black metal would sound quite different without the 'tremolo landscapes' and the screechy vox. But yeah, there's definitely a lot more prog happening here than black metal.
