Anyone heard of these guys? Picked up their demo, Mord Und Totsclag, and have not been able to stop listening since.
Too sleep deprived to bother explaining more, so here's a review. Enjoy kids.
Continuing Aurora Borealis's exploration into the muddier waters of blackest metal comes this unexpected gem from Portland Oregon's L'Acephale. Taking their moniker from a secret society and publication from French writer and occasionally atheist mystic Georges Bataille this dark intellectual thought is carried directly into the band's singular and dirt-ridden experimental sound. Taking cues from Burzum's career-defining 'Filosofem' but also gleaning influence from the likes of Drudkh, Akitsa, Ulver, Striborg and Hate Forest this is the kind of black metal that I just don't hear enough of - both effortlessly noisy and lo-fi but powerful and frenetic at the same time. Walls of melancholy fretwork are built over powerful super-fast drumming and the razor-fed vocal work of frontman Set Sothis Nox La to create grim textures of menacing sound tailor made to keep you from sleeping right ever again. 'Mord und Totschlag' is quite surprisingly the band's debut demo cassette and has been re-released in deluxe format (with a fancy poster and booklet!) with some extra material, but don't let the 'demo' status put you off, just as with so many other USBM acts, these early demos are often the most singular and defined efforts from the band and certainly I've been won over by L'Acephale. Interspersing the album randomly with peculiar bursts of synthetic ambience, noise and drone (not unlike Striborg) this is a shockingly detailed album, far more grandly realised than so many similar albums in the genre coming across far more like a well crafted story than is usually to be expected. By the time you reach the album's centrepoint - the 21 minute epic 'Against a Weeping Sea of Sleep'; a long form piece of pure funereal hatred which travels effortlessly from hyper distorted and primitive black metal into acoustic strumming and drone before weaving its wicked way into droning doom. An absolutely shocking piece of work from start to finish - metal fans, noise fans and doom followers take note, this is a band I have a feeling we will be hearing a great deal more from in the months and years to come! Huge recommendation.
Completely stunning so far, we'll see how much lasting value it has in time, but between this and Two Hunters, I think it's safe to say I like Black Metal again. A little.

There's been quite a buzz about L'Acephale for the past 6 months or so with a feature in Oaken Throne and some good reviews. Well deserved IMO.

Yep, I've had the album for a couple of months now and it's in the top ten faves. Track 3, "Book of Lies", is the best by a mile, but the whole album is incredibly well done and I can't wait to get more of their stuff.
Highly recommended.

So, anyone check out Odious yet? Black Metal band from Egypt. They incorporate a lot of middle eastern influences in their sound. Pretty damn good so far.

I got a few copies of Verschlungene Pfade in a couple of weeks ago. I haven't listened to it much but, from what I have heard, it's not bad. I also just realized I have yet to list it on the site.

For The Unknown Is Horrid

Seriously, being a black metal band from Egypt takes more balls than any Euro band... blasphemy is not only punishable by death, it's highly encouraged. Kvlt doesn't begin to describe it.
I'm actually digging this, the ethnic influence is undeniable, and at first it seemed a bit superfluous... but now I'm thinking it totally works.

I just received the new cd from War "Insanity of Faith". So far it sounds quite promising. I've had limited exposure, but they seem to be heading down the Orthodox Black Metal path.
