Black Metal.

[no country for old wainds]

for the record, i personally wasn't talking about removing any of those parts (or what i consider to be those parts) but rather some of the more conventional, bland riffs that litter that record. i think its 'essence' as you put it could've been further distilled without a number of the more brainless up-tempo passages in particular. *shrug*

but yeah, i'm pretty defensive of SMRC regardless. those devout, awestruck, ecstatic melodic lines give me goosebumps, and strike me as more or less completely original*; the level of detail and passion at times reminds me of the glory days of black metal when bands had a vivid and unique vision to propagate. and that's precisely why it disappoints me when they seem to lose momentum and do things that are rather more ordinary, or occasionally even cheesy.

*i've been thinking recently that dead congregation at their best provide something close to a death metal version of the same feeling.

I just like how it sounds bro.

Darkspace III is even longer than SMRC and I refuse to skip anything on that album.

You like good BM? I didn't know you had it in you.

cough Beherit sucks cough

 

[Mort Divine]

The Beherit hate around here is weird.

 

[no country for old wainds]

lol who the hell hates beherit? sadomatic rites yo

 

[The Butt]

People that hate Beherit are not people you need in your life.

The Beherit hate around here is weird.

What's weird about hating garbage music?

 

[Funerary_Doom]

I almost get what people like, (listening DDtM now) but I NEVER feel like listening to this. This is music you joke around to tbh.

The Beherit hate around here is weird.

Beherit is some of the most boring stuff I have ever heard.



What's interesting about Pagan Moon for example? It just sounds like "la la lalala la la lalala" over and over again but with a distorted guitar. It's Black Metal for children.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Funny you mention that, as you are a child.

"Engram" is probably the single greatest thing in black metal since Burzum released Hvis Lyset Tar Oss back in 1994.

 

[Nephilim96]

Yes, but Beherit's more for like, 8 year olds. Err... maybe even younger. It's pretty bad.

And why do you think Engram is the "single greatest thing since HLTO"? Do you have any reason for that other than "it's just great"?

 

[Mort Divine]

Goddamn, Katharsis need to release a new album.

 

[ProphetofHatred]

The world would definitely profit from a new Katharsis release.

 

[The Butt]

Nothing is weird about garbage people hating good music.

So fucking good.

I actually view Darkspace as a kind of "zero degree" black metal band, more so than even Burzum or Darkthrone. That band creates a remarkable aesthetic out of the very limits of what is listenable.

Yea. I love SMRC and wouldn't cut any song from it, but there are several songs I would cut 1-3 minutes of.

To elaborate on why I hate Beherit and particularly DDTM is because it it epitomizes the strand of mindless sheepishness that exists within the black metal fan base. If ANUS or some other kvlt website says it's a classic then it must be true! DDTM is a perfect example of tr00 kvult personae with absolutely nothing of substance to back it up. Dime a dozen riffs backed by plodding drumming and crappy modulated vocals all mashed together in a crappy mix job. Yup, really something special there! The epitome of style without substance.

Then, to top it off, the ambient passages totally clash with the metal tracks, adding incoherence to an already long list of flaws. Yet, one by one newbies who want to prove how underground they are praise it as one of the all time great black metal albums. Give me a fucking break.

 

[The Butt]

I think your opinion has been clouded by seeing so many people rate it so highly, in such an obnoxious manner.

Beherit is fucking evil, and that's all there is to it. Yeah its simplistic music, yeah the mix sucks, but that's what they were fucking going for. You are not the target audience. That is all.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

Funny you mention that, as you are a child.

Are you suggesting Beherit is too mature for some people?

Do you try and dive into puddles when it rains?
"Engram" is probably the single greatest thing in black metal since Burzum released Hvis Lyset Tar Oss back in 1994.

Please explain what makes this record special.

Poeple here hate on Beherit and even Asphyx The Rack. Some of them tried shit like dissing early Celtic Frost few days back but hopefully that faggotry was pushed back to their stupid anuses.

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

I listen to Beherit cuz that shit sounds good. No justification needed.
