    It is mandatory by law for every living creature to have listened to OV before they shuffle off this mortal coil.

    just to make clear I love OV, it's just the first time listening to it is the ultimate test of patience.

    One of the greatest bands in history--as much as I enjoy pretty much all of Mick Barr's other work, nothing ever comes close to Orthrelm. I'm so glad I happened to see them play live in their early phase and then also in their Ov phase a few years later. I love both styles equally and never get tired of listening to any of their recordings. They never released a weak track.

    Well, you listen to John Zorn, so you're beyond any help. This is some of the most botched pretentious 'experimental' music I've ever heard, they don't even make credible counterfeits -- at least Zorn masks his inability to write music with overflowing wankery, these guys can't even do that, it's just pathetic.

    I saw these guys on YouTube, and I can honestly say that the song they performed was one of the most boring and repetitive pieces of music I've ever heard. Based on what people have said here, it seems like that might just be their newer material, but still…
