Black Metal.

ive only heard smrc and kenose. hardly the revolutionary band a lot claim them to be.

Though Hirilorn is evidence enough that the guys can play stellar black metal. unfortunately they chose the wrong path

Hirilorn was indeed awesome. Better output than anything I've heard from DSO thus far.

definitely. easily the best thing those guys ever did

Eternal Majesty from France plays some of the best melodic black metal around. Can't stop listening to this album. Kind of does everything right like Sargeist's 'Let the Devil In'. Dat bass.

This is highting me right in the feels

I was going to ask you about this in the NP thread, glad you posted it here.

Been going through the last few pages and checking out links you fuckers have posted.

Really digging The Water Witch.

EDIT:
Prophet, this album is right up my alley. Good fucking rec!

It surprised the fuck out of me. Seriously competent instrumentals for a atmospheric/depressive black metal band.

Not that it's worth debating semantics on a message board, but "ever" categorically implies "all," not just what you've heard.

 

[CiG]

Yeah crimsonfloyd is right, you fucked up, own it.

 

[CiG]

Anybody might could steer me in the right direction? Wanna know where the best place to start is with Root.

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

I've always enjoyed The Temple in the Underworld.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

Zjenevi is my favorite, but Temple of the Underworld and Hell Symphony are strong as well. I'm not familiar with their later output.

This song is killer:

 

[CiG]

Cheers!

 

[The Butt]

I can vouch for Zjeveni and Hell Symphony as well. I don't think I've heard any of the others though. I need to remedy that.

This, and Temple. After that, I'm not familiar.

Also, the pre-SMRC (and the Manifestation compilations) are the best thing DSO's ever done.

 

[CiG]

Fuck yes, I'm going to blast some Root.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

Also, the pre-SMRC (and the Manifestation compilations) are the best thing DSO's ever done.

Pre-SMRC DSO is quality Darkthrone worship, nothing more, nothing less.

SMRC is one hell of a transition album.

Post-SMRC DSO is some of the most profound extreme metal of the 21st century, with a brilliant merger of aesthetics, technicality, composition, and philosophical vision. Records like Fas and Paracletus are total works of art. If you don't get them, it's your loss.

I think Cobalt has the best drum sound in all of black metal. Any other band using a shit-ton of tribal style drumming on their albums?
