Black Metal.

Krallice is pretty mediocre and way too long.

Pretty much agree.

 

[RedStorm]

what do you guys think of Krodas debut album i just posted?

 

[Omni]

I remember hearing it years ago but I have no idea what it actually sounds like anymore. It has ridiculous folk instruments on it, I think.

 

[CiG]

just found black funeral, good shit

First two albums for me, fucking amazing.

 

[RedStorm]

Vukolak is my pick

 

[no country for old wainds]

i think FALLEN's one of the best BM albums of the decade, but tbf i haven't exactly heard many i've really liked. i find i tend to get the most luck these days when i search for new releases from various obscure east european labels on metal archives.

 

[Omni]

I listened to several tracks from each one. They're okay. I'm just not feeling it. I don't think that anyone would have caught wind of them if it wasn't Burzum.

In terms of how his music evolved and showed great compositional sense on his 1990s albums, these ones fall short. I think the music is reasonably solid, but it doesn't have the same kind of magic from before.

 

[no country for old wainds]

true. hardly anything does though, past or present. still think it's better than a lot of the stuff praised as the next big thing or w/e.

 

[Funerary_Doom]

Fallen is good and Belus is good. But the ambient ones (even if you like Hildskjalf) are kinda different… and a lot of his new material is a little weird. Newer Burzum isn't really my thing.

found this recently and really enjoying it

 

[no country for old wainds]

oh yeah the ambient stuff is shite lol. i don't even like BELUS that much really, FALLEN's the best one.

 

[The Butt]

Daudi Baldrs and Hlidskjalf fucking rule.

 

[Eligos]

Akhlys's new album The Dreaming I is shaping up to be pretty solid. It's a very dense, noisy, multi-modal album. Though it doesn't sound like it, listening reminded me of my first time hearing Massive Conspiracy Against All Life.

[no country for old wainds]

Daudi Baldrs and Hlidskjalf fucking rule.

theyre fine, i meant Farmer Varg era

 

[Draehl]

@Eligos For sure, very good shit there!

 

[CiG]

Farmer Varg

Step 1: Cover this.
Step 2: Change the lyrics.
Step 3: ? ? ? ?
Step 4: Instant deification.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

The Outre record mentioned above is fucking awesome. Top 3 for 2015 probably, or at least top 5. But that could change, because yet another menacing album is out and it's just sick; my favorite black metal album this year. It's also got some of the poignant and devastating lyrics in black metal.

 

[MasterOLightning]

On Krallice- Diotima is a pretty weak record, especially considering how strong Dimensional Bleedthrough and Self Titled were... Quite a letdown. They moved somewhat away from that creepy higher pitched unique chord progression to a much more generic bm sound.

Years Past Matter is a return to form. You should check that one out. Fixed the muddy production from Diotima. I'm not so sure what I think about that new EP. Pretty different.

 

[EspaDa]

New Mgła is great. AOTY contender.

 

[CiG]

I listened to the first ten minutes of the new Mgła album because of the sheer hype, don't get the appeal, pass.
