Walk With Me In Hell, Descending, Blacken The Cursed Sun..... playing those 3 songs on guitar was part of my daily warmup routine. Those three songs covered everything I needed to use for warmups, so once I could play all three back to back that I was properly warmed up.

As the palaces burn album is my favorite. Ashes of the wake and sacrament are great too, but As the Palaces Burn is very unique in it's riffs and lyrics content. I love As the palaces burn, ruin, Vigil, and Boot Scraper so much. The express a sort of under class rage that is so relatable right now. I mean that rage has always been relatable in any class society, but I think a lot of working class people could listen to Boot Scraper for instance and be like, hey maybe it is time to turn and bite that hand that's bleeding us dry. Vigil is a supreme expression of this in my view. That section "Sickness to you my master!" gives me chills to this day. So powerful and radical.

So glad Mark is in this band. Pretty much all of my favorites from LoG are "Mark's songs". It also makes me glad that Chris isn't the main song writer cause every time I hear him talk about song writing I cringe a bit. Basically "if it's not super fast or Megadeath-y it's not metal"
