Woe to you, Oh Earth and Sea, for the Devil sends the
beast with wrath, because he knows the time is short...
Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the
beast for it is a human number, its number is Six hundred and
sixty six."


Best chart ever your greatness.

Norman's recommendations are endless, everybody should pick something they're unfamiliar with from one of his charts and listen to it now. Seriously, they are an absolute goldmine.

[Mercury]

Cool chart. Super cool member. My respects. And I will take Nezzle's advice and get some recs from Norman's charts.
