###Recommendations of the week

##/u/Omegakingauldron For those that need some Mercyful Fate, Attic is the band for you. Much like how Them is a tribute to the way King Diamond/Mercyful Fate sounds, so too is Attic. It’s good stuff all around as well.

Also want to recommend Sons of Crom as well. Usually with Epic Heavy Metal it tends to be slow and boring, but I found this one to be a worthwhile listen because the lyrics kept me into it (as all Epic Heavy Metal bands should do). The song didn’t get boring or overstay its welcome, which is a good thing.

I do want to recommend Hamka as well, solely because it has Elisa Martin on vocals and this has been an album that I’ve been waiting for.
