Black Metal Recommendations-Beyond the Obvious

Damn. I ordered it from Invivtus for 19. WHo knows how long it will take. I think Jerry got it form there too, maybe I should ask him.


Oh, wait, did you get the CD? I ordered the vinyl.
 
Aye, they kick ass too. The TORR/666 boxed set looks wicked.

DEBUSTROL is another classic from the area that I'd recommend.

I have that 3CD on the way from some Czech ebay seller...it was $35 + like $7 shipping, but I figured I won't be finding it anywhere else, and it's 3 CDs, so it's not a total killer. And yeah, Debustrol is some excellent thrash stuffs, though I've only heard the demo and the first album.
 
it's actually a lot more varied than reviews would have you believe. yes, it's fast, but it changes pace at great moments and to nice effect.

similar bands would be nice.....

Agreed, I'm first now starting to get what this album is about. I'm pretty damn impressed so far but I feel there's still a lot more to be found, it's quite a feat not drowning all variation in that relentless speed and also blending of all those samples and interludes into the fabric of the music.

For the moment I can't really think of any similar bands... Naglfar's Vittra? :loco: Not musically identical perhaps, but similar and very very good. Also pretty overlooked on this forum it seems :|
 
Hey J. -

If you havent heard these guys yet, do so. They fucking RULE. I dont say that about many BM bands either. Yes, they're from France.

EPHELES - Souviens Toi

L'ombre de la Croix rules too.



edit: goes for all you peeps into BM.
 
Yeah. I defnitely have to be in the right mood for some Mystic Forest. The piano work goes quite well though. I'm interested to hear this Epheles... does it sound like Mystic Forest - the piano. We'll see.
 
I enjoy Welcome Back in the Forest quite a bit.. probably about equal to Green Hell imo. I find them to both be pretty similar..... not much of a shift.
 
If it hasn't been mentioned yet... COUNTESS. The Book of the Heretic is a fucking awesome album. Hell all their stuff is, really.

No, they sound nothing like Mystic Forest.

Here's a song for ya'll:

Epheles - Les Abimes Du Temps

:kickass::kickass::kickass:


Been a long time since I rec a BM band but these guys deserve all the praise.
 
i didnt like Eikenskaden, but will check this out

Epheles have no relation to Mystic Forest/Eikenskaden or any other Stefan Whatshisname bands.

Just kickass black metal that isnt one dimensional.

I find those Stefan bands pretty pretentious imo.

Ive had the demo for a while now but this release brought them back to me and Ive been loving it. Im sure many on this forum will think the same.
