UK black metal unit Wodensthrone's debut album is a magnificent bit of atmospheric black metal, laying the foundations that would also yield the similarly excellent Curse. With intricate folk influences woven into the epic-length, progressive compositions, this is hardly a band who are out for kvlt for kvlt's sake; the production standards are impeccable and give the music plenty of room to breathe. An album you can truly drift away and get lost in, Loss also qualifies as perhaps the only black metal album I am aware of where two of the band members - Hréowsian and Æðelwalh - are credited as playing tin whistle.

Yeah, they split because Wildeþrýð left and the rest of the band considered him too integral to their music to carry on without him.

Ah, they've split up? I hadn't heard that, what a bummer. Still, I'd rather have these two excellent albums than thirty mediocre ones.

Finally picked this up recently after having heard Curse when it was first out (and owned it quite a while). I think I actually prefer this one by a small margin. They're an excellent pair of albums though. I find it such a shame they decided to split in 2016.
