Mortifera are goodPeople don't like psychedellia in their black metal but people like A Forest of Stars?
Not a HUGE fan of Nachtmystium, but they have some decent tracks.
edit: What do people think of Mortifera and Celestia?
It's less black metally, but otherwise it is of a similar style. I haven't heard the newest one though. I would recommend getting the Worldfall EP if you haven't heard it.Instinct : Decay is ok, IMO the only real standout track is "A Seed For Suffering" which is one of my favorite songs ever.
I only have that album and I thought Nachtmystium were a bit bland/seemed disinterested in performing when I saw them in 2007.
Wizard, what's the newer material like?
You have it backwards.Checked out Nokturnal Mortem as someone recced me to 'em. Not sure what to think. Their early/mid career albums sound like I could get into em, but their last few seem kinda... fruity.
The Voice of Steel is as passionate and inspired and fresh as just about any metal album I can think of. It's an instant classic. I can't imagine anyone finding it boring. There are jaw-dropping moments on just about every song. Mirovozzrenie is fantastic too. Avoid the crappy English version.
