My personal 2 cents. I dont see any reason why anyone would not prefer their "early bm stuff" but the split with Honor and "Creed Of Iron" are somewhat noteworthy. After this it´s basically the same album with same riffs, same production - only with different cover art and (slightly) different lyrics and album titles. Last year´s "Thunderbolts Of Gods" gives a slight hope of something more interesting though.

- My point: It does not matter very much what "post-BM" stuff you listen by them cause they all are basically the same album, same keyboard sounds, same guitar sounds and even the drums sound same despite the change from drum machine to "real" drumming

If you look for smth that isnt quite like the , in the glare of burning churches, celtic winter and carpathian wolves I strongly suggest to check out "Thousand Swords" - since that one is really an epic album despite it´s thin & unconvential production.

Also Immortal Pride is pretty good - suffers a certain lack lack of coherency but has some incredible moments and is free from the plastic bedroom sound the latter albums have.

Just my opinion
