So I'm probably the only one interested in the new upcoming Twilight album. I can't imagine it will be anything like the last one, and it'll be interesting to see what kind of ideas Wrest has been sitting on for the last three or four years.
Well, I agree with V5 when he says that Drawing Down the Moon is the ritualistic bm album. You might like it more if that's a quality you appreciate. I like it for other reasons too, but they're a little bit hard for me to articulate. It's one of the most alienated and alienating albums I've ever heard. It sounds like it's completely in its own world, and it's the sort of thing that doesn't really give a crap about pleasing anybody. It has this weird atmosphere that's totally unique. But it's not really one of those albums where you can point to it and say 'listen to how cool that riff sounds' or 'this part right here is awesome.' It's way more than the sum of its parts.
Listening to Gehenna's Admiron Black and really enjoying it. What would you guys say is thier best?
I can't do Beherit or Archgoat or anyone who sounds like that, the appeal is COMPLETELY lost on me. What is it about that sort of thing that you like? Just curious
How do people feel about Belphegor? I've seen a black metal night on at a venue near me and they are headlining. Checked out their stuff on myspace and I'm quite impressed, nice clear production too.
alright all you avant garde black metal fiends (eligos, cook-ta? and maybe einherjar), I have a new one for you: Grotesque by Pensées Nocturnes. Pretty good stuff. Good mixture of black metal brutalness and everything else. There's nothing zany here...perhaps more accessible than A Forest of Stars and other similar acts. There are horns and violins (if I remember correctly). Good stuff. Vocals are incoherent shouts. Go forth
edit: and apparently the guy behind Pensées Nocturnes, Vaerohn, got into it with people on last.fm (his user name is Krakenao): http://www.last.fm/music/Pensées+Nocturnes/+shoutbox

I've seen them a few months ago, opening for Obituary. Their setlist was a bit short, but powerful and well played. Nothing extraordinary, a decent band playing a fun show. If you haven't seen them live, it's worth in my opinion.
