Black Metal.

[Goffdahl]

Yeah, can't really see why you wouldn't like them.

 

[Thralldom]

Did anything better than Hvis lyset tar oss or Under the Sign of the Black Mark come out this year? I haven't been using the internet very much this year because it's been a busy one, so I am behind on albums and would appreciate a few recommendations.

......... my mind asplode.

I don't even. What.

Okay, I've talked up this band a few times in the last year or two, and there's finally a studio song up. I really liked this track better in the demo form, since it's about 10-15 bpm faster, and has a more trebly production. This album seems to value the low-end mix of something like SMRC. Still, after a few listens I'm digging it in this form too. It sure does does suffer during the bridge at this tempo though. I loved when it bordered on being out-of-control fast. And that just made the half-tempo chorus more effective. Still, good ear for melody here, and I'll keep an eye on these guys. Very solid live too.

Lord Worm's new Black Metal project



not too sure atm...needs more variety in the vocals and removal of the distortion effect but at least its not shit

 

[challenge_everything]

That's worth investigating... very trebly but maybe that's just the youtube quality?

 

[Tonka Time]

Pretty interesting and while the prod is a bit hissy it doesn't take away from the music much. Nice riffs. As Nightmare Heaven said the vocals need more variety, especially with thier prod.

From what I've just read: [Said Lord Worm to Bravewords: "Rage Nucléaire is a hate-filled blend of melodic black metal and violent industrial...]

If this is the case I can't see it being more than a not-as-good version of 3.

album artwork for Farsot's new album, Insects due later this year though no specific date:

 

[Goffdahl]

Listening to the new Kroda; "Schwarzpfad". I didn't have high expectations since I have grown a bit tired of Kroda's style of heavy folk-laden pagan metal. Yet, this new album really pushes borders for this genre offering a much more "black" sound than I would have thought.

Think era "Weltanschauung" Nokturnal Mortum with some Drudkh influences and add the rural pagan feeling from all Kroda's other albums. This is one hell of a 2011 black metal release!

 

[Mort Divine]

The new Kroda really sucks

 

[MasterOLightning]

I think Nokturnal Mortum's The Voice Of Steel has rendered what came before it obsolete. It pays tribute to metal, but tears it down at the same time. I loved Weltanschauung immensely, but Voice of Steel makes it look like crap. It's so much more advanced. Someone needs to write an essay about it, if not a book. Just the way they take the total cock rock segments, and paint them with such sincerity. Like, no one in metal could write a song called "America" and have it be a dead serious tribute. This would never work. But the Ukraine track on Voice of Steel is awe-inspiring, despite the flashy cock-rock solos. It just rules. And that could never happen in a lot of places. I think the sincere desire to make awesome music makes that album one of the best metal albums ever.

 

[Blind Guardian]

Absu now officially has the best artworkography out there.

Voice of Steel is their first album I've listened to. What should I listen to next from them? I dig a lot of folkiness.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

I really hope the new Absu doesn't suck.

Weltanschauung/Mirovozzrenie would definitely be the next album you should listen to then.

 

[Bitencourt29]

I really like the last one. That artwork looks great!! Can't wait for a new album.

 

[Tonka Time]

I had recently really started to get into Tara. Other than that I havn't heard much Absu. I'll have to look into them more.
