Albums currently kicking your ass

[PhlegethonVeins]

I love Majesty and the Providence EP, but Kingdom is simply trying to do the same thing yet coming up short track after track. Its a quintessential album to refrence for an example of stagnating on a sound with no more inspiration going into it.

... have you listened to the last two Incantation albums?

I'm not getting in on the Incantation vs Immolation dogpile here, just commenting on Kingdom.

 

[Phylactery]

Best Bathory. Blood Fire Death and Hammerheart don't even come close.

Easily better than the last two Immo albums. And again Kingdom is their absolute worst and sounds like sound nondescript death metal band from the 2000s.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Providence is sick.

Just to be clear i like all four albums in question, but no way in hell are the last two(heck we can go as far back as 98) Incantation albums better. They are the definition of recycled.

And Kingdom might be their worst but that says a lot about their untouchable discog ... unlike Incantation who have a few ho-hum albums.

Apparently the Providence EP was free when released but I can't find it anywhere..

 

[PhlegethonVeins]

The prints of it were extremely limited and handed out at shows. I believe Scion A/V also had a free digital download of it, as well though.

Probably the best non-Sol Invictus neofolk album.

I've only heard In the Rain and I'd like it a lot more with a better vocalist. Not to say the vocals are bad, I just don't think they're particularly good either. I'll listen to this, cheers.

Probably. Although The Return comes within just a hair's length of it if you ask me.

 

[Yerfdaug]

Hammerheart has always been my favourite. One of the few albums where solos/leads are done perfectly. Seriously. The solos on that shit are pure fucking genius. They aren't shittily masturbatory, and fit with the songs just so damn well. sure BFD owns because it is a thrashing and a half, and UtSotBM is the classic 'black metal' release, but hammerheart always has and probably will always be my favourite.

Greece's best black metal band is back at it. HAIL DIONYSUS! HAIL THE DIOSCURI!

[Phylactery]

Can't say I've ever seen anyone say that Kawir is the best Greek black metal band before. Cool band though, didn't know they had a new release out this year. I'll check it out.

 

[RedStorm]

Kawirs great, prefer varathron through

 

[CiG]

But garbage? You guys are either out of your mind or just scorned incantation fanboys hating.

Or it's just shit.

Heh the vocals are actually pretty bad on In the Rain, both Tony Wakeford of Sol Invictus and Ian Read of Fire+Ice are notoriously bad singers even compared to other neofolk artists.
Both know how to make music though. If you like In the Rain you should try The Blade with Sol Invictus, it's his best work and he almost sounds ok on it. ; )

On the Bathory albums: I don't think I even have to state that I think Hammerheart is the greatest album ever.

Dug this one back out of my vault. Dax wins in almost everything he does, the bastard.

Yeah, I wouldn't rank them among my favorites but they're good. Does any Hellenic black metal legitimately suck?
