Black Metal Recommendations-Beyond the Obvious

TYPHUS is always good.

Yes! They sounded awesome live. They took my IN THE FLESH true black metal cherry (well, I suppose Dimmu Borgir counts, but meh).

Do yourself a favor and take a trip through a deep, Norwegian forest on a bitter, frosty night, courtesy of this album:

Kvist - For Kunsten Maa Vi Evig Vike
 
im still looking into getting some demoncy, sort vokter and mysticum.

whats mutiilation like?

and that kvist album s great, yes?
 
Sort Vokter "Folkloric Necro Metal"
Mütiilation "Vampires of Black Imperial Blood"
Kvist "For Kunsten Maa Vi Evig Vike"
Mysticum "In the Streams of Inferno"

All great albums. You might not want to buy the recent, widely circulated re-releases of Mütiilation, though, as they are disapproved bootlegs, and you'd be supporting someone who's trying (and succeeding) to making a quick buck at Mütiilation's (and most of the other bigger LLN bands') recent rise in popularity, contrary to the wishes of the bands & their labels. Then again, you probably don't care.
 
actually i despise bootlegs (which is one of the reasons i've yet to check out moonblood), but as always ill do more research. i listened to random samples provided, and that sort vokter is terribly produced though apparently that was the bands intention. eh.
 
Demoncy - Joined in Darkness
Evil as fuck. Need to check out the earlier stuff

Sort Vokter - Folkloric Necro Metal
Must have the worst production in the history of things being produced. The music is actually tranquil, if that makes sense. The ambient piece is especially nice. Good eerie keyboards. Barked vocals. Is this what Ildjarn is like?

Is Abruptum worth looking into?
Horn of Valere?
Suturs Lohe?

Yeah, but good luck finding it. I paid $40 on ebay like a year ago and it was worth every penny. If someone finds for cheaper though, I'm going to be pissed.

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.

Oblomov fucking slays. You need to hear the shit from their demos. It topples mighty cosmic dances. :)

hmmm, I don't know if it's been reedited or what but it's to find at a record store next door from here for a "normal" price (15€ or something)
 
Hirilorn sucks. They're definitely not my thing. I don't like all that story telling crap in the middle of a song. I understand some of you guys like feel like your on some viking battleship listening to inspirational instructions from the head viking, but that's just gay to me.
