Honest and well-chosen retrospective.
Live show is less enjoyable, due to repetitive style.
To Mega Therion - Celtic Frost
Extreme thrash classic with unbeatable atmosphere.
Still rooted in the thrash tradition, which may disappoint.
Through Chasm Caves And Titan Woods - Carpathian Forest
Great start that hints at what might have been.
More traditionally-minded songs still sound weak by comparison.
Strange Old Brew - Carpathian Forest
Boldly and enjoyably experimental, while making plenty of time more for primal fun.
Tries patience at times.

Average power metal.
Average power metal.

More ambitious.
Still uses other bands' ideas.
Black Shining Leather - Carpathian Forest
Audible bass makes an interesting change.
Confused and inconsistent on the one hand; repetitive on the other.
