Zao - Croatoan
This album is a masterpiece.
Outside of While She Sleeps, Skindred, and Wildhearts, line up is a bit meh.

Went to Download once back in 2010, twas some weekend. Hellfest in France is one I regret never making.
Hellfest lineup a few years back was the lineup of all lineups. Should have gone…
Was that the one with Carcass and ZZ Top on the line up?
Saw them for the heartwork tour in the Tivoli unrale love this one :https://youtu.be/JTPOtkoP93U
Possibly . It had every other classic metal band. Testament, Suicidal Tendencies, Armored Saint, Exodus etc
Album is a classic. So is Heartwork. I still need to listen to their last album properly.
Michael Amott is a fucking king.
At least @caulifloweredneanderthal has a bit of taste. The lyrical meaning behind this track is fantastic.
Dordeduh - Descânt
A bit of Romanian Atmospheric Folk/Black Metal (“dor de duh” is Romanian for "longing for spirit). This is actually magnificent.
