Not too thrashy, at least by my standards, closer to just metal, sometimes
with a pretty sludgey/doomy edge. Wrote some great riffs, particularly the
album "King Of The Dead". First album was more like Rush.
They released four albums -- the first had the
cover of Stormbringer, the last book in the Elric series. The 2nd album was
the cover of the 5th book, and so on...backwards. But time is just a cycle,
isn't it, and we're all one, the Eternal Champion.
I know some people on the list hate 'em. Go ahead and set this guy
straight... :)
