Late afternoon spin - Mystic Circle - Erzdamon

I’m finally finished with my top100 of 2025! It’s releasing next week sometime, and the new Mystic Circle album, “Hexenbrand 1486” is sitting pretty high up on it.

I’ve been listening so much that it made me want to revisit 2023’s “Erzdamon”!

For our forty-seventh episode, we decided to do another “More Music” episode, where we skip the discussion topic and pick an additional two albums to feature. The last two weeks had the most quality releases of the entire year, so there was way too much to discuss!

Thormesis is one of my favorite bands that very few have heard of. They released an incredible new album today, and I’ve had it on constant repeat. If you like post-black with tons of melody, you’ll love this.

Listening to thousands of new albums every year is fun, but work. Some mornings you just want to revisit favorites… and this is one of my all-time favorites.

This new Ba’al albums is 95% aoty list quality and 5% bizarre clean singing and spoken word sections that I hate.

I don’t know what to think about it.
