Black Metal.

[Einherjar86]

So yeah, checking out Nokturnal Mortum for the first time right now. Listening to their latest. Very impressed so far.

Wow, little late to the game?

Nokturnal Mortum fucking rule, and their newest is quite amazing. I enjoy their early records, but I think their more recent releases are more interesting efforts; I love the experimental Floydian moments on The Voice of Steel.

I concur, fully.

Listening to Sun of the Blind's Skullreader now. Very recommendable for those who enjoy slow-paced atmospheric, epic and ambient/progressive black metal.

I'm generally not a fan of symphonic black metal, but my dick has been hard for Summoning lately, and I remember checking out a few NM tracks on youtube and enjoying them, so I figured I'd check them out. Good stuff.

 

[King Richard]

Don't feel bad Yoda, for whatever reason I've never listened to them (NM) even though Thoth has recommended I do so on multiple occasions. I'll be sure to remedy that once I get home.


In the meantime, I'll blast some Nemesis Divinia.

 

[Zephyrus]

I love all their stuff through NeChrist, but have been hesitant to go further since I'm often turned off by folky elements.

Well all of their albums have a strong folk component.

 

[Zephyrus]

There are degrees of folkiness.

 

[King Richard]

Ok I just downloaded (ducks) Weltanschlong. Gonna give it a few spins.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

I like just about all Nokturnal Mortum, honestly.

 

[damnromulans]

Interestingly I'm turned off by black metal that has no folky or otherworldly elements. Doesn't have to necessarily be organic instruments or panflutes or synth patches, but I can't enjoy shit like Watain.

 

[Einherjar86]

There are degrees of folkiness.

Don't worry Zeph; Nokturnal Mortum doesn't fall under the "gay" degree of folkiness.

 

[ASD]

The newest is a combo of Moonsorrow and later Bathory pretty much, with their old style of course.

 

[damnromulans]

I need to check that out, sounds good

 

[Zephyrus]

Don't worry Zeph; Nokturnal Mortum doesn't fall under the "gay" degree of folkiness.

That is correct!

 

[IntoPhagist]

They sound like Moonsorrow? I like...Anyone hear that new Dissection ripoff Thulcandra? Pretty goddamn good. Love the production.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Lunar Poetry is probably my favourite release by Nokturnal Mortum, but all their stuff is pretty good. This song, in particular, rules:

 

[Manic Ferocity]

That's my favorite release as well, ranking slightly above Goat Horns.

 

[Zephyrus]

Starting at 2:40 is my favorite moment in their entire discography.

 

[unknown]

speaking of folky black metal, I need to check out this new Temnozor I heard Cyth mention

 

[MasterOLightning]

I think NeChrist is pretty awful and early NM is too amateurish for me to really get interested in, but Lunar Poetry stands a bit above the first few. I don't think they got it right until Mirovozzrenie. The early albums are tinny sounding and too reliant on twinkle-twinkle keyboards. They are still doing something interesting considering when those first albums came out, but I don't enjoy them from start to finish.
