I don't really like much of it but...yeah...Blasphemy, Axis Of Advance, and a lil bit of Revenge were clicking hard enough this time that I'm checking out some more stuff. I always liked some black/death acts (mainly Blasphemy, Order From Chaos, and Teitanblood), but never enough that I could consider more than, like, 10 bands from the genre to be fun to listen to.
NP: Archgoat - Whore Of Bethlehem
Like, this band...they seem to have the sound down on this album I guess.

Swedish black metal, quite melodic with nice interludes and an eerie atmosphere. I can really recommend it. Lots of ambient synth stuff.
By new I was referring to the album coming out this year, but I'll make a note to check out and eventually purchase what I can from this band.
