Now that I'm in college I wouldn't have enough time to do it anyway. This is definitely a thing. It can be brutal. Do what you got to do, bro!

I had been listening to the fourth Orationem album and planning to review it, but that was when I was losing interest in black metal and to be honest, I didn't really get into it. I couldn't think of much to say that I hadn't already said in the previous Orationem reviews. Most of the music across all five albums on that project sounds very similar to me, aside from a few differences. You must have had a change of heart since the last time we talked about Your Presence and Strength, (going from clearly preferred to its just like the others) but that's ok. I think that happens to everyone within reason. I mean, there's music that I LOVED 10 years ago that I find to be rather "meh" today. I'm assuming the variable isn't us butting heads over this and that, but this wouldn't be the first case I've ran into where the music was no longer liked because the artist was no longer liked. (as a person) Of course Orationem albums are going to sound similar. Apart from bringing a more "secular sound" to the Christian scene, I am reinventing ZERO wheels. Myself, I hold extreme importance to staying true to a style with a specific project, and black metal is in a very particular small box. If I didn't have this mindset, well, there'd be 10 Ankou Awaits albums, half of which were a black / blackened death / whatever it is with Welsh mythology themes, the other half black with Christian lyrics. That's always drove me nuts about some projects. Like Mortification Scrolls is some fantastic death metal, and then 2 albums later, its some amalgamation of "standard tuning" death/thrash/heavy metal. Same with Antestor. Very black the late 90s, then 2 albums later, quite deathy.

Soon. Maybe tonight. There's a LOT of stuff in the scene that hasn't been reviewed - or at the very very least, hasn't been recently.

Nice. No rush, but I am anxious to see what you review as well as hear your perspective on it!
