Everyone is familiar with these guys, polish sonic witchcraft in its best form.

I went with Henbane, but Haxan is very close behind.

I went with Coven. Henbane a close second. Haxan third.

One of my favorite new bands.
E V I L !
Last two albums don't carry the magic of the first two,but still hoping..
I'll go with Henbane.Haxan comes close by a cunt hair.
First two are pure demonic energy.Unholy forces of evil.They belong to the elite.
Coven is bad album (compared with the previous ones) and ''Sinister'' is decent but still unequal.
Waiting their new strike.I believe their talent and vision.
All Hail CdG!

Henbane is a modern classic.

Spectres gets my vote. The band firing on all cylinders with the perfect marriage of riffs and atmosphere. All the fat has been trimmed to boot, being perfectly summed up in one side of an LP.

PS: Someone sell me their fucking Haxan vinyl repress for a reasonable price. It must be a great album because no one seems to want to let one go (besides flippers ofc Surprised

)

All of them are pretty close but Henbane is a very easy choice.

"Henbane" for me too because of the first track alone. The beginning of that song should be taught in schools.

One of the few metal bands that consistently improve with each release, so I chose Sinister. But everything since Haxan has been monumental.

Really, Henbane that far in front of Häxan?

I mean Henbane is a really good album, but Häxan is just such a sick, disturbing piece of music and absolute classic. The closing track alone makes it perfection.

I was really put off my Coven when it first came out, I didn’t like the whole “theater play” idea they were going with, and I wasn’t impressed with the overall sound at all.

Revisited last night for the first time in a couple years, it grew on me. This thing is fantastic!

Man, I can't even pick one! I enjoy all of their releases a lot. One of my favorite bands. This is the only band where I own every release in each format it came out in. The only one I don't have an official copy of is the Treading the Darker Paths demo. I made my own tape of that one.

I also don't have this one. A rehearsal tape from 2005. Has anyone here ever heard this?

Häxan is evil as shit, but Henbane is a perfect album.

I love Henbane but I think Coven is a masterpiece. I don't really think this band can do wrong regardless
