Black Metal.

I'd love to find more in that vein if you've got any suggestions. No matter how many times I burn through the Xasthur catalog, as soon as I get to that track I stop what I'm doing and just let it wash over me.

Try out Ruins of Beverast - Unlock The Shrine. The first song has a real Xasthur vibe. After that there's tons of original ideas. It's a wonderful album.

I remember liking Foulest Semen from them okay, but not being blown away. Might be high time to revisit their stuff...

Soil of the Incestuous is probably my favourite Ruins of Beverast but i haven't listened to much of them either.



Fans of Austere should check out his new band Germ. MA calls them Avant-Garde Metal/Depressive Rock/Shoegaze but they have electronic elements as well.

What's the general opinion about Terra Tenebrosa in these parts?

The Tunnels is a pretty interesting record, I dig it. Especially with the song, Guiding The Mist / Terraforming. Shit gets bone-chilling.

As a side note, I searched the thread and there has been no talk of the new Masters Hammer:

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Fukk. I didn't even know it was out.

Love those melodies. Really pretty shit.

 

[KafkaX]

Yeah man, everything Ive heard off YouTube of this album has been pretty legit. Stoked.

As a side note, heres a side project from one of the members from Austere, blending trance and DSBM? Im so confused. I want to like it, I really do, but Im just...At a loss for words lol

You want to like it but because it's a mixture of trance you're trying to avoid it.

Oh snap, sorry to double post, I didnt even see this group was already posted. lol

Yeah youre correct. I like Trance and I like Black Metal, but I think its like oil and water, the two cannot not be mixed. OR maybe they should, but I havnt heard a good enough example to make me think otherwise.

 

[General Zaroff]

I feel like Trance and BM could work since they're both very atmospheric genres.

Listening to the Germ song now.

EDIT: Pretty good stuff but didn't remind me of trance too much tbh.

Loving the new Lunar Aurora, wasn't what I was expecting from them, but it is really interesting.

 

[tgillis]

black metal was the first metal genre i started listening to, symphonic black metal to be more specific. it is still my favorite genre to this day.

 

[Goffdahl]

I like the new Lunar Aurora after the first few listens. But perhaps not as much as I had hoped for. It seems perhaps a tad too easily accessible?

Also got my hands on Nocte Obducta´s latest album "Verderbnis" from 2011. It had pased my attention this album was released, wtf? Seems very good but very different from their earlier materiale - a bit Lunar Auror'ish actually.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

I'm really enjoying the new Turdus Merula album Mentem Recipere. Highly recommended to those who like ambient/atmospheric black metal.

 

[General Zaroff]

Listened to Germ's Wish in its entirety.

wish it was better/10

On a related note, Woods of Desolation: Worth a look?

 

[gundamterran]

Woods Of Desolation is pretty mediocre. I'd say give em a try to see what you think of them, but don't expect anything mindblowing.

I wouldn't call it too accessible, its just different. Andacht is a very accessible album, but still great.

Going to Hellfest this year. What an insane lineup!

me too!

 

[gundamterran]

New Burzum has leaked. Looks interesting. I'm stoked to hear it.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Some people on the NWN forum are talking about how different it is. I'm excited.

 

[Tonka Time]

So yeah, I just randomly found out that Mysticum are active again and Planet Satan should be out some time this year.....

I'm hoping for a Mysticum/Blacklodge North American tour in the near future....
.....This would happen after I threw out my drugs
