They definitely meander, that's part of the fun. They open with a hook, riff on it a bit, jam for five minutes, come back to the hook at the end. I think the hooks on Lore might have been a bit more memorable, but the new one is a little more layered, which is why I liked it better.

I thought Immolation and Incantation were both ILM faves? And I could swear people in this very thread were praising Tchornobog. I think my memory's going.

Immolation made it, Incantation was at 105. Thought they were both very solid albums tbh. And I remember there being some excitement over Tchornobog in rolling metal but I guess it didn't carry over.

I like Incantation a lot, but the new album was not as good as the one before.

I didn't discover quite as much this year in the rollout as the last couple of years
