I dunno, natural progression or not, that album did nothing for me. but like I said, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and just because Nightside Eclipse is my favorite (followed by a tie between Anthems and IX Equilbium) dosen't mean that you're not entitled to like Prometheus. One of my big things against it was I felt it to be WAAAAY overproduced for a band that wrote the book on raw chaffing black metal production...

i can understand that. there is a certain element in albums like "Anthems" where sometimes the kick drum doesnt synch up simply because its so fucking fast. but yes, i prefer the Nightside, Anthems and Equilibrium feel. oh and your opinion is wrong because mine is right.

I consider the main riff in Mother North to be the one in three measures of 6 and a measure of 5 that knocks down walls and recurs at the end of the song and knocks down more walls and is probably the most recognizable black metal riff ever.

Oh, and by "middle riff" in Angel Of Disease, I mean the one that comes after the second time the "down a third up a second, down a third up a second" riff happens. You know, the one that goes "duh duh duh, duhduhduh, duh"
