Products similar to Northwind - Falconer
Great pagan atmosphere. 
Poor production spoils effect of instruments. Effective incorporation of mellow elements into modern black metal. Songs tend towards similarity. Proves the band's folk talents. No metal here, which may disappoint fans. Epic folk metal. Slightly overblown and incoherent. Excellent tracks None Great concept The overall production and average songs.River Runs Red - Life Of Agony
Great nineties doom with memorable vocals. Repetitive style.
Sons Of Northern Darkness - Immortal
Strong grasp of tempo changes, and powerful drums from Horgh. Too slow and dull on occasion, and based largely in thrash.
The Adversary - Ihsahn
Continuation of Emperor's progressive direction for fans. Lacks coherence and direction.
Megatropolis - Iron Savior
Interesting concept and fun, Judas Priest style heavy metal. Owes everything to 'Painkiller' and the German post-'Painkiller' tradition.
Mind Transplant - Alphonse Mouzon
Some great musicianship Never really lets go
Omnio - In The Woods
Well-executed and well-sequenced progressive doom metal. Over-ambitious sections are less impressive.
On Fire - Stetsasonic
Bangers throughout Nothing specific
Panopticon - Isis
Perfectly paced. Not one bad moment. Vocals may prove offputting to some. Not one for happy moods.
Planet Rock - Afrika Bambaataa
Pure and original Long tracks
Pure Holocaust - Immortal
Cold, grim, fast, classic black metal. Very repetitive and samey.
