Black Metal.

[Death Aflame]

The vocalist's manifesto/perspective on things seemed rather naive to me but I guess if he's that passionate about the music he makes to come up with something like that, I can't really hold it against him. They sort of struck me as being Christians or something though, I'm not sure if anyone else picked up that vibe.

The manifesto is naive in its totalizing characterization of the second wave, it is also short-sighted by not taking into account how black metal has changed since then. That said, it is a good point of reference for understanding how Liturgy relates to the second wave.

I doubt they are Christian, but their music is distinctly positive sounding; it's life affirming as opposed to negative and misanthropic.

 

[Death Aflame]

I actually think the latest Krallice represents some sort of middle ground between the first two. The songs don't feel nearly as long as those on Dimensional Bleedthrough. A bit more focused and tight, perhaps.

I've found this as well. I still wish they would go back to the style of the debut, by making their sound more straightforward and immediate. Diotima is sometimes needlessly complex structurally.

I do like the death metal vibe that is creeping into their music.

 

[Hubster]

So who's heard it? Pretty awesome imo.

 

[Eligos]

New altar of plagues, helheim, moonsorrow, liturgy and now enslaved. So much to catch up on.

 

[unknown]

what's that scion shit on there though?

 

[A1a23]

Apparently Scion is a record label now. Kinda looks gay if you ask me.

I did not expect them to release anything so soon. It's probably a few leftovers from the production of the last album, which I still wouldn't mind hearing.

 

[Cythraul]

That seriously makes me want to go on a shooting spree.

 

[Hubster]

Why? Because it appears to be some kind of symbol related to Freemasonry?

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Posers and fags leave





I can't wait for their new full length. These sound awesome.

 

[Der Morgenstern]

Nocternity has a member who calls himself Khal Drogo.

 

[Necroraven]

Nocternity is one of the very best. They also have the best Björk-cover I've heard.

 

[Blind Guardian]

Haven't listened to Nocternity before. That "Titans" track sounds like Transilvanian Hunger played by Immortal, nice.

 

[unknown]

new Nocternity?! FUCK. YES

 

[Cythraul]

Feels like it's been a nocternity since they last put out an album.




Sorry for that.

 

[Eligos]

The new nocternity sounds a lot like the sound our atmospheric scene in green mountain falls shoots for.

 

[unknown]

goddamn A Forest of Stars. Opportunistic Thieves of Spring is still sounding outstanding

 

[Eligos]

It's a really good year for folky black metal.

 

[childofbabylon]

waiting for shining's new album~

 

[Blind Guardian]

I've been listening through Onyx now. Nocternity is a massively underrated band, I must say.

 

[gundamterran]

Does anyone have any recommendations for bands at least somewhat similiar to Ved Buens Ende, or Blackened Folk/Viking?
