Burzum I guess, though that Spectral Lore album is pretty good too.

Negura Bunget - Om

I don't care much for this genre, but Om is a fantastic album. So it got my vote. NB will never create anything as good as this. Well, that line up does not exist anymore anyway.

The members that left formed Dordeduh and later on Sunset in the 12th House. Both worth listening to.

I'll give a shout out to oltreLuna, if only because it seriously takes the subgenre to new places. This is one of my favourite subgenres so I had to pick through a bunch of stuff I'd given 4-5 stars to here, but I genuinely think that it'll be years before the rest of the scene catches up to what Progenie Terrestre Pura are doing.

I'm still unsure which one to go with here. They're nearly all five stars for me, even Burzum though I have to really be in mood for that one due to Varg's growls.

As far as the two Mare Cognitum's go, I think I do favour Phobos Monlith, so that narrows it down. That and Spectral Lore's III are both from 2014 and are both in my top three on my RYM list for that year, with III being at the top when I made it but I've been tempted for a while to bump Mare Cognitum up to number one. Spectral Lore is technically the most unusual release and I love both so it's really case where those two albums could keep switching places indefinitely. Doesn't help with this poll.

The same can be said of the two Wodensthrone. I've owned Curse a lot longer but having finally got Loss last year I have to say I may be starting to regard it higher of the two.

Warthur summed up oltreLuna excellently while current leader Om is one I recently upped my rating to the full five stars for. In truth I have been debating whether that album actually fits as Pagan Black Metal better but for the sake of this poll it's also in the running.

So I can narrow this down to be between oltreLuna, Loss, Phobos Monolith, III and Om.

I would vote for them all if I could and some of the others.

	This is really tough as I've heard all of them and several are definitely favourites.

	I’ve got / heard three of these albums so it’s hard to vote, but Om is superb for sure.

	Negura Bunget - OM This album was just ok for the longest time and then one day it totally blew me away. It was like, whoah! Am i listening to a totally new album? Nope, something just clicked.
