Just saw (& heard) this thread for the first time today. Dude, between the tone and the riffs, that stuff is the epitome of everything I love about metal. Fuckin' thumbs up, man. I'd buy this in a heartbeat. Hell, I wish everything sounded this good. Put me down as yet another dude that'd love to see this come out as a 2-cd debut.
Do you & Bud come up with the riffs somewhat equally, or are most of these yours, or his? Regardless, fucking superb, dude.
(PS: Loved the viking tune.
