Black Metal Recommendations-Beyond the Obvious

[J.]

I second my recommendation of Fullmoon. Class stuff. But no Ellestin, sorry, no way does this one album beat Graveland.

Anyone else go back to Summoning's "Lugburz" and find it quite the damn good album.

And JayK was right, Maiastru Sfetnic is awesome.

And yeah, so far Hirilorn>Deathspell

Anyone familiar with Gontyna Kry?

I cant make up my mind whether or not to get Sort Vokter.

Gotta go mow the yard. I expect many replies when get back.

Mow the lawn? Its about to get WINTER on my bitch ass. Up to 12 inches of snow expected.

Oh . . . and I can't imagine Hirilorn being better than Deathspell, but I suppose I'll look for them. I can see how you might like them more, especially if their more minimal (less complex I guess). It seems a lot of the stuff you really like don't get overly complex. Hopefully you don't see that as an insult. Because its not.

Where can I find this Hirilorn stuff?

Yep. Grass and weeds are a'growin. Steady temps in the 70's nowadays.

Yeah, it's more of the kind of stuff I like, that's all. I'm not into this "new" black metal avant garde type stuff. But Kenose is prety good, though it lacks conviction or something. Cant put my finger on it. I'll still be getting cicumspce, though. You prolly wouldnt like Hirlorn, tbh.

Where to find Hirilorn? Ebay is it, and if you have money. A few mailorders might carry some stuff, but the lone full length is waaaaaaaaaay OOP.

Yes this suxx... I'm hoping to see this show up in some tradelist for a reasonable amount of bucks.

To anyone into (old-)Deathspell Omega I can only recommend their fellow countrymen S.V.E.S.T. - extremely dirty, chaotic shit with long-winded songs resting heavy on your psyche. Some scarce epic riffs in between but mainly anti-humanity nailed all over with a ten-ton hammer

no, but your review intrigued me

 

[Nate The Great]

A couple more BM recommendations:

Oblomov
http://s62.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0ITPY2JPVECHZ18W069N3AB5NR

The Ruins of Beverast
http://s62.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0ZMN2WVGQY99T01TBYR04PQ0R

I just got these promos, and I've only heard them once. So the songs were randomly picked. Both bands have promise. More listens are needed, though.

 

[Nate The Great]

I get about as much respect around here as a dead squirrel on the road.

I took time to upload those samples, and nobody even cares. I hope you know I cry myself to sleep at night.

 

[Nate The Great]

WTF?

 

[Thanatopsis123]

Fine, I'll check out that Oblomov to make you happy. But not the other one because I already know about them.

Ruins of Beverast is fantastic.

 

[Nate The Great]

Oblomov is good, but I don't like all the weird instruments. They have like basoon and oboe solos that totally mess the song up for me.

 

[MetalNations]

TYPHUS is always good.

 

[Ellestin]

Oblomov rings a bell... some Russian soccer player from the 80's, right?

The track is quite predictable, good but nothing "beyond the obvious". Ruins of Beverast on the other hand is a hell of an interesting album. I just wish he would emphasize more on building an atmosphere à la Lurker of Chalice next time, 'cause some of the black metal elements get tedious early on.

 

[J.]

anyone ever heard Havohej? I saw this cover and started laughing.

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

anyone ever heard Havohej? I saw this cover and started laughing.

Ohh thats just awesome. I can envision so many captions for this cover.

 

[J.]

actually that album is supposedly a mega cult album. the last song is acapella black metal

havohej=jehovah backwards

 

[J.]

such a nice wholesome young man:

Rip the sacred flesh
Sodomize the holy asshole
Drink the red blood of the mother of earth
Masturbation on the dead body of christ
The king of Jews is dead
and so are the lies
Vomit on the host of Heaven
Masturbate on the throne of God
Break the seals of angels
Drink the sweet blood of Christ
Taste the flesh of the priest
Sodomize holy nuns
The king of Jews is a liar
The Heavens will burn
Dethrone the son of God
God is dead
Holyness is gone
Purity is gone
Prayers are burned
Covered in black shit
Rape the holy ghost
Unclean birth of Jesus Christ
Heaven will fall
Fuck the church
Fuck Christ
Fuck the Virgin
Fuck the gods of Heaven
Fuck the name of Jesus
