This thread is dedicated to the albums that we have found/discovered that are not very well-known for one reason or another but flat out KICK FUCKING ASS. I've been on a recent BM kick and have discovered some really great albums imo. Everybody give input if you have heard the albums listed or list albums that you think should be included and shared with the rest of the community.
Dysperium - Dawning (demo)
Extreme metal with heavy folk influences including doom, black, and thrash. This is an EXCEPTIONAL demo. Everyone should keep an eye out for these guys in the future. They have just signed to Dark Horizon records from what I understand. Many on this forum should appreciate this demo. I cannot recommend this release enough. Two tracks from the demo are available for download at their site: www.dysperium.com
Hordes of The Lunar Eclipse
Great atmospheric black metal. Usually very dissonent riffs. They are listed as "avante-garde black metal" but that stupid term is WAY too overused. I've only heard about half the album but I don't see where that term fits at all. Great album though.
Nocte Obducta - Nektar: Teil 1
Check my other thread about this album. Great black metal that effortlessly blends many styles including doom. There is an intro track and four subsequent tracks that are dedicated to the four seasons of the year.
Lunar Aurora - Elixir of Sorrow
Another excellent atmospheric black metal band. "Hier Und Jetzt" is definitely one of my favorite songs of the year. Fucking Ace.
Bornholm - Awakening of The Ancient Ones (demo)
This was released back in 2002. I do not think they have released anything since then, sadly. Great epic black metal. Three original tracks followed by a cover of Transylvania, then their rendition of Carmina Burana which is sooo fucking good.
That's it for now I think. Discuss.
