Swashbuckling is a common trait among Lutherans.

Ultra cool Tyr update, bro.

aril no careth for such shenanigans

Want to see Tyr again but not enough to go to NY.

If they were coming to Boston, I'd probably go see them but I wouldn't go out of my way for them.

I like pagan metal but....sleepy music is sleepy

zzzzz...boring band.

I Like their proggy element, but they just lack sincerity and emotion.
