Black Metal.

The new Xasthur EP is to my liking. The songs sound like B sides from the Subliminal Genocide era, which I think is his best. I'm hoping the upcoming final album is stronger than the previous two.

holy shit it's dark in here

Anyone like Thralldom or The Howling Wind? Both are projects of Ryan Lipynsky. The Howling Wind just released their new album. The sample track on their myspace sounds really good.

Just discovered Thy Light. Me likey.

Great band.

 

[sevag00]

Yes, and it sucks.
edit: I wouldn't consider Semargl as black metal anymore.

Yeah, i heard some samples and you're right, it really sucks.
Also, i put it in the black metal thread, maybe because people still consider it black metal.

Cool, didnt know Xasthur had a new demo out. Ill need to give it a listen.

edit: Also did not know that portal of sorrow is the last xasthur album ever. Hopefully its better than all reflections drained.

That wasn't really about your post. Just was saying in general, that they are now some industrial mess. The only thing that's left from black metal there is their Samael-ish visual style.

I enjoy tremolo riffing, especially in black or blackened death metal. I'm not sure why it gets shit on so much.

I was unaware of said shitting on. Wouldn't that mean nearly all black metal and death metal get shit on?

Xasthur is ending?

 

[~Neurotica]

So any thoughts of new Negura?

 

[Lateralus14]

My thoughts are I still need to listen to both of them though they've been on my iPod for 2 weeks..

 

[Eligos]

I think I'm going to call my local record store and see if they have them.

They're not going to have Malestrit until Tuesday and they didn't know what I was talking about when I asked about the other one. I'm going shopping today, dammit. Bastards...

 

[SkiesAtOurFeet]

I ordered both and just waiting for the shipping. Should arrive tomorrow or Tuesday, looking forward! VelociBrad recommended both albums with high regards, don't think the man would misinform.

I know, I'm gutted too bud.

And I like JUST got into the band too.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

This isn't really a black metal question but I wouldn't know where else to put it..

Anyone know anything about Mikko Aspa's other projects besides DsO/Clandestine Blaze/Stabat Mater i.e. Fleshpress, Morbid Savouring, etc. Just kinda poking around metal archives and curious as to whether anything else from the guy is worthwhile.

Fleshpress is AMAZING. His noise work is good too, as well as his industrial/power electronics...check out Grunt.

edit: also, obligatory "I've met him" aside

 

[repetitive electronic music]

Me too he was surly as heck

 

[A1a23]

Xasthur is ending?

Yeah, supposedly he is going on to do some other project that has nothing to do with metal. This fucking sucks. He could at least hang himself or something and it would make for the most awesome way to conclude a suicidal bm band.
