Black Metal.

[KafkaX]

When were they *ever* black metal?

Irregardless, Ive always liked their music for whatever the fuck it is.

Ive felt their discography has been pretty consistent. You either like em or hate em. I cant speak for the new album because I havent listened to it yet, but I did hear a few songs live when I saw them a few months ago and it sounded like a typical progression from the last album.

EDIT:
Just saw this.

Slint
Bark Psychosis
Lights Out Asia
God Is An Astronaut
The Samuel Jackson Five
Sigur Ros
This Will Destroy You

to name a few - i'm not huge into it, but I do like some

Thanks dude. Theres a few there I dont know that ill check out.

Alcest's first demo is flat out lo fi black metal, for what it's worth.

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

^ yup.

In addition to their early stuff, you can still find some Black Metal influences in some of their more recent releases. Ecailles de Lune definitely has a few parts that sound like Black Metal.

I can see what you mean about how it "sounds black metal" but its not.

^ yup.

Well there you go...How is it?

So the new Hail Spirit Noir is out, any thoughts? I haven't heard it myself but from what i've seen, it seems to be getting quite a lot of positive responses.

Their first album was pretty a good slab of Black metal/Psych-Prog rock IMO.

It's ok I guess. It's really, really lo fi which kind of ruins any potential it had for me. I really don't have a problem with demo recordings but here it's extremely poor quality.

Whoever posted this in one thread or another I'm really digging it... worth a repost.

In regards to Blut Aus Nord I have Ultima Thule and The Work Which Transforms God, both of which I enjoy. What would be the best album for me to follow up with?

 

[crimsonfloyd]

Momoria Vetusta I: Fathers of the Icy Age is their 3rd best. Really epic. 777 Sect(s) is the next best of their more industrial records.

 

[ProphetofHatred]

Momoria Vetusta I: Fathers of the Icy Age is the best. Mindblowingly epic

Yes.

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

Thanks a lot, will check those next.

Came across these guys. Pretty neat stuff.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

^ That was rad. Very Deathspell Omega-ish. Have you heard their full length?

I have not.

Literally half the stuff on that YouTube channel can be considered "Deathspell Omega-ish".

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

^ Lightfox and Blackmetalupdates are the YouTube black metal kings. But that channel is decent too.

 

[ProphetofHatred]

Lightfox doesn't post straight black metal (at least often/from what I've seen) so his channel is not even close to the best BM channel. OdiumNostrum is by far my favorite channel for full album uploads regarding "different" black/death metal.

I will admit I way prefer death metal over black metal. Black metal is more atmospheric music therefore it kind of gets too boring for me to listen to often.
