Black Metal.

[dwellerINTHEdark]

Nokturnal Mortum are fucking amazing. Can't believe it took me this long to check em' out. In all fairness, there are a shitload of classic black metal acts I've yet to listen to. That's what happens when you get in the metal game a little late.

Don't care, they are still good.

I didn't know you were into Ildjarn.

 

[Eligos]

Well, it sounds decent, would probably need a few more listens to get into it more though. What do you think of this:

I know that symphonic black metal is still quite a novel listen for you, but this is pretty much rehashed Naglfar material. And not much of their material is worth rehashing.

Hot news:

New Kult Ofenzivy album should be out in 2014. Its name should be Nauky různic and it's going to be a one 25+min. song divided in ~5 parts. Iron Bonehead is going to release the vinyl version. Apparently a sample is circulating around the internet but I haven't heard it yet.

Can't wait.

It better have their trademark twatatatatatatatatatatatatatata sound.

From what I've heard from a guy I know, the sound is more aggressive and the vocals are even more compelling. But yeah, it's still Kult Ofenzivy, twatatata etc.

I fucking can't wait to hear it dude.

I need more 'desolate' black metal. The kind that sounds like it was composed in a frozen forest. Coldworld and Ash Borer type.

 

[KafkaX]

For along similar lines to Ash Borer, try Fyrnask, Murmurs (Not to be confused with Murmur on Season of Mist) and Skagos.

See if any of those hit the spot.

 

[Draehl]

I can doubly recommend Fyrnask (Bluostar is the best of the two) and Skagos. Need to check Murmurs myself...

 

[SomeGuyDude]

Well I can tell you right off the bat that I like Skagos a bunch and finding Murmurs is proving difficult.

 

[KafkaX]

They arent too active. Id recommend just checking out a song or two on YouTube and just download their full length if you dig it. Finding the full length would be ridiculous because its limited to 50 CD-r's. Found one on Discogs for $40...Theyre good, but not that good.

Heres a link to their Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/murmurssweden

 

[SomeGuyDude]

Well it took some hunting, but I managed to snag Fædd Úr Eldi.

This is WILDLY different from Skagos, but damn good. Might be my favorite so far.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

New Kult Ofenzivy should be good. Sweet band.

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

Anybody else like Abigail Williams at all? Their album In the Shadow of a Thousand Suns is enjoyable symphonic bm, and their most recent Becoming tapped into atmospheric bm pretty nicely as well. They get a lot of undeserved hate from what I've noticed.

 

[SomeGuyDude]

I seem to recall AW getting hate mostly because of the surprise way they got "big" at one point. Abigail Williams t-shirts were selling at Hot Topic for a while, and I think that caused a lot of metal snobs to declare them shit for no good reason.

I think of AW as the black metal Black Dahlia Murder. Good shit, nothing amazing, glad they're around.

i saw AW on the Melechesh/Rotting Christ tour. I actually thought they were decent, and enjoyed their set. I havent heard any studio stuff from them, so I cant comment. They were better than the Behemoth clone, Hate. goddamn terrible shit

 

[SomeGuyDude]

Awww I liked Erebos.

AW's latest album is damn fine. Solid slab of atmospheric (if overly fuzzy) black metal.

Be sure to check out Solens vemod by Nasheim. Probably my album of the year at this point. Also the new Eternum is really good too.

Don't get me started on Hate. Jesus, that band fucking sucks.

It's very good, I agree. I haven't given it enough spins, but it's definitely a grower. Easily Erik's best stuff. Per usual, he's modest about it and seems to have disappeared from UM.

Don't get me started on Hate. Jesus, that band fucking sucks.

I'm not a Behemoth fan by any means, but Hate apes them down to the fucking stage clothes. The guitarist or bassist (cant remember) kept trying to look menacing with his no shirt, flabby pasty white belly and the cheesiest corpse paint ive ever seen. The music sucked too.

My buddies and I agreed Hate was awful, and AW was pretty damn good.
