yeah, I've got both their albums, they get a lot of praise from outsiders, I never quite figured out if I like them or not...I just know I spend way too much money on CDs and thats got to stop, they're not bad (I thought Weakling was better), still not sure how they got into the Prog Archives they're tight musicians but they play a pretty standard Northern style of BM that many other bands have perfected long before they...

Looks like great minds think alike! 

Actually, I'd go a step further and say that Pagan Altar seem thoroughly unaffected by any music trends after the early 70s...

That reminds me: Am I the only one who thinks Pagan Altar sound like what Jethro Tull eventually would have turned into if Tony Iommi had stayed in that band?
