Black Metal Recommendations-Beyond the Obvious

Merrimack - Of Entrophy and Life Denial
Possibly the best BM album of the year. 9/10 in Terrorizer, Digital Metal loved it, and now I'm jumping on the band wagon and calling it great. It's French, I think. Great traditional BM that feels very modern, but has a nice in-your-face, gritty, and raw production.

Koldbrann - Moribund
Even more traditional sounding than Merrimack. Not quite as good, but exceptional nonetheless.

these are great,over_the_top albums

and i'm sure that all the NOEVDIA shit have been mentioned.not so underground anymore anyway.
 
i found kontamination,satanik terrorism and a split with ad noctem here. it'a a greek label/distro. but i can't see any of these albums now.
i guess ebay is the answer for every problem.
 
I don't suppose anybody has heard Inquisition's Anxious Death or Forever Under? I have all their full lengths and like them quite a bit but I understand this re-released demo and EP are different from the later stuff. I'm not in the mood for another blind buy.
 
It's far, far thrashier and not really in the same vein as the later stuff. It's been described as being comparable to bands such as Sadus.
 
Anyone heard the new Sykdom? I'm wondering if it's worth getting but can't seem to find any full songs to evaluate.

Or has anyone heard of Curse - Slaughter of the Stars? I read a description that sounded cool but again, can't find any samples of decent length.

dude, every fucking time I search for bands at Theend Sykdom comes up and Im always like "wtf! should I buy this just so I know what the hel is going on?"

J. Hel is decent. I have Falland Vörandi, theres a ton of short songs on the disc. I havent listened to it a ton, but so far its not awesome, its just decent.

:lol: I think that may be the same reason I finally checked them out.

I have their first album if you want me to upload some of it for you.
