I met Code001 / Tommy on HC and RT years ago. I messaged him about mixing advice and we ended up writing stuff together. Several years later, we're still buds and still writing. We finally decided to release our material into one big album. Sound-wise we're both heavily influenced by In Flames, At the Gates, Black Dahlia Murder, Dark Tranquility and Disarmonia Mundi. Tommy holds influences to a ton of other bands and guitarists like Kalmah, Galneryus, Amon Amarth, a2c which you can hear in a lot of these leads. My rhythm riffs are heavily inspired by Opeth, BDM and In Flames.
Any support is appreciated, at the very least giving it a listen would be awesome. We've talked gear so much the past 18 years on these forums, it's nice to actually post some music. The band name is The Ealdorman and the album is "Ouroboros". It's available on bandcamp, itunes, apple music, google music, spotify and every other major platform.

Here's a breakdown of the gear used in the album. Code001 / Tommy recorded, mixed and mastered everything. I'm sure he'll jump in here and post pics of gear.
