a thread about nice cd packaging

As great as a piece of turd can get, I suppose.

 

[Evil?]

I ate some blue licorice and had blue and green shit. That was a pretty great turd.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Naa, Alcest isnt that great.

 

[swizzlenuts]

How so? Beautiful melancholic black metal completely isolated from other black metal bands, very relaxing and with a great atmosphere.

 

[Krilons Resa]

The music fucking SUCKS.

 

[swizzlenuts]

[Krilons Resa]

here goes nothin'.

edit: I like how it takes over 3 minutes for any music to actually start.

 

[Krilons Resa]

LMAO...Dude, this is so fucking bad.

Last chance out the window.

ILDJARN's Ildjarn is Dead. This is a poor picture I found online that doesn't really do it justice.

Basically it's a fold-out A5 box that contains a poster that folds out to the size of 4 A5 sheets on each side, containing a 16,000 word statement from the artist. The two CDs come in plastic sleeves, both with fold-open booklets with artwork. It totals 53 tracks, clocks in at over two and a half hours of raw black metal. Contains rare early demos, EPs and unreleased material.

This is how you bury a band and seal their legacy.

*shrugs* I love the riffing in that song, the hypnotic slow paced stuff is ace.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Well, I will admit that it gets a touch better when it slows down, but is still really fragmented and just plain not good imho. The first half of the song is absolutely cringe-worthy.

*shrug*

You guys often use terms like "A5 Digibook", I have no idea what this means.What are the different types?

i still want an ildjarn something, but im screered i wont like it

pffft, doomlicker gave up black metal for trad doom and crap.

 

[\/oidhanger]

ILDJARN isn't for the faint of heart. It's rawness makes DARKTHRONE sound like Sunlight Studios and they're short bursts of simple black riffage. Think MALVEILLANCE but rawer and simpler.

Yeah, I actually listen to music.

My thoughts are similar to yours regarding this track, the slow section is a potentially great song fragment inserted in a turd sandwich. If anything illustrates why I prefer dark atmosphere to low-fi rawness, this would be it. And I usually like long ambient intros, but this one descends into pointlessness.

new Alcest material on myspace that might be more accessible: http://www.myspace.com/alcestmusic

Agalloch meets Joy Division

 

[skeptik]

Alcest, Paysage d'Hiver, and Darkspace ftw. I still need Neige's other bands (yes, I know the latter two are not).
