Black Metal.

[Einherjar86]

Weakling and Altar of Plagues are both bad (and AoP were so bad live that I assumed they were an opening act and I walked outside after 10 minutes of their set). WITTR is fine, but I won't be in a rush to check out anything new they put out unless it's getting really good buzz.

No way is Wolves in the Throne Room better than Altar of Plagues.

 

[LuminousAether]

They're still part of the known as post-black metal.

Not all minimalistic songs have to be long and dragged out, it's just common. Terry Riley had some songs that clocked in around the 1~2 minute mark.

Post black metal referred to those black metal bands in the late 90s that started experimenting with alternate forms of music like Ulver, Fleurety, Solefald, Arcturus, The Kovenant, etc.

Find a new genre tag, that one is already taken.

 

[Krow]

Helloween and Running Wild both participated on a sampler called "death metal" in 1984.

If that was a "genre tag" it's an outdated one.

My mother has this weird fetish of bringing skulls to our home so I took this kvlt picture of my rare Graveland discs. Early Graveland = best Graveland.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

I'm probably going to throw on some Thousand Swords today because of that. Cool pic.

those are my favs by him.

 

[Vilden]

Carpathian Wolves ftw.

 

[The Emptier]

I have always heard of Weakling but hadn't check them out, I really like what I'm hearing.

Definitely not a fan of the polish socialist scene, can't get into nokturnal mortum, graveland etc.

 

[Episteme]

What albums have you been hearing? Nokturnal Mortum is Ukrainian btw.

 

[Blind Guardian]

Graveland isn't a socialist band btw.

Very cool.

I have the exact same edition of Carpathian Wolves. I also have the original edition of Thousand Swords.

Your mom sounds pretty hardcore.

Both those bands fucking rule, but Nokturnal Mortum is from Ukraine.

Have you ever listened to Hellveto? As far as I know he's not NS (the lyrics are all in Polish), but the music is incredible.

 

[Xorv]

Enslaved - Isa & Below the lights = eh....

weakling slays

ukraine is death country.

Post black metal referred to those black metal bands in the late 90s that started experimenting with alternate forms of music

Alternate forms of music such as, say, contemporary classical, post rock, shoegaze, western folk music, and crust punk? I don't understand why the time frame is significant, but if you'd like, we can call it revivalist post black metal or something.

I'm familiar with Fleurety, Ved Buens Ende, Ulver and their ilk. I'd call Arcturus Avant Garde Metal though.

 

[Mort Divine]

But metal can't be avant-garde and avant-garde can't be metal :Smokedev:

 

[Einherjar86]

Solefald isn't "post black metal." I'd just call them experimental or some shit like that. Same with Arcturus.

Cool picture, man! And yes, early Graveland = win.

Solefald isn't "post black metal." I'd just call them experimental or some shit like that. Same with Arcturus.

Yes, I'd also call Solefald experimental. Their Icelandic Odyssey albums aren't bad (only ones I own).

 

[Episteme]

I've only got In Harmonia Universali, not exactly black metal but I still like it. I remember a few years ago I was on an "avant-garde" phase and pretty much got anything that had that tinge of weirdness to it.

Then why do you only have one album from Solefald?

I have them all and I like them all - from time to time. They are not exactly albums you would listen to all the time.

 

[Bitencourt29]

Just listened to the new Otargos, first listen. It's damn good BM. I don't know any of their other albums but this new one is interesting. Don't usually see them mentioned in here.
