This probably belongs in the controversial opinions thread, but Melechesh > Absu.

Oh boy...

I'm just not even going to comment on that.

Have you heard Barathrum V.I.T.R.I.O.L?

O man, that's a pretty tough question to be honest. But I'm gonna have to agree with everyone else and say Absu. While Melechesh has two amazing albums in Sphynx and Emissaries, their first two aren't particularly strong (though still enjoyable). Meanwhile pretty much all of Absu's albums are on par or better than Melechesh's stuff. I think one of the problems Melechesh runs into is that their albums are a bit long. Most of their albums are about 60 min long, just 15-20 min off of that would make them a whole lot easier to listen to. They just have such a thick and fast paced sound that I can't really listen to an hour of it. But away from that, I think that while on the surface they seem like similar bands, we all know that Melechesh is much more Eastern sounding, something that most of Absu's stuff isn't. So when I'm in an Eastern mood, I'll obviously listen to some Melechesh




wow, i analyzed that way too much...

Just ordered both of the Negură Bunget new releases, Vîrstele Pămîntului sounds good from what i've heard so far but you can hear the change without Hupogrammos Disciple's in the band. I hope the whole album is as good as what i'm hearing nonetheless.

You won't be disappointed. They're both fantastic.

Aeternus is my latest black metal discovery. I always skipped over them for some reason, but I finally checked out ...and So the Night Became & Beyond the Wandering Moon and both blew me away. I like their later death metal stuff too. Anyone else like Aeternus?

 

[JontRevolting]

I don't think I could be fucked with listening to folk/black shit thse days...Negura Bunget,to me,no offence are the epitome of try hard,nice music but yeah..

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Aeternus are fucking incredible. They released two of the best black metal albums of all time. Fuck yeah!

 

[JontRevolting]

Yeah Aeternus have a tidal march to their music much like early Doomsword....'and so the night became'

 

[Slayed Necros]

Aeternus circa 1995-1998 are my favourite band of all time. Amazing stuff.

 

[A1a23]

So what is the best Aeternus album? I've only really heard And So the Night Became, which I thought was good.

 

[Tonka Time]

Anyone else into Diapsiquir?

Beyond the Wandering Moon is slightly better than ...And So the Night Became but both are amazing.

 

[Bitencourt29]

Listened to the newest Marduk the other night...I really liked it actually.

It's a lot more difficult to like than their previous two albums imo. Good stuff, definitely.

 

[Doomguy]

What's everyone's opinion of Abgott here? I just picked up Fizala and I'm enjoying it.

 

[wandering_taco]

I saw somebody in the band Afterlight posted in the musicians forum, and I checked out their music they sound pretty damn cool. Anyone else heard of them?

 

[Mort Divine]

Wow, the new Negura Bunget album (not the re imagined one) is really good for three songs then gets bad fast.

 

[challenge_everything]

That sig needs to go.

 

[The Butt]

Protip Mort: Having (frankly, only moderately attractive) women in your sig doesn't make you cool tbh

 

[Cythraul]

I'm in full agreement with the last two posts.
