Black Metal.

[Dazed and Brutal]

It's funny how germans of all people are the most sensitive on these matters.

It's not like they have a history to defend...

You should just read through the thread.

what have you already heard---liked/disliked? (it'll help make the list shorter)

 

[LieToPurify]

Ive heard Dark Throne, Dark Funeral, Dimmu Borgir, Behemoth, umm Leviathan. Those are some off the top of my head that Ive heard and liked for the most part, but I need more.

Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger
Emperor - In The Nightside Eclipse
Enslaved - Vikingligr Veldi
Deathspell Omega - Si Monumentum Requires, Circumspice
Drudkh - Forgotten Legends
Xasthur/Leviathan split

There's a good chance you won't like any of these at first. It may take some time to appreciate these, but they're among the best black metal has to offer.

Megiddo is a fucking fantastic band. Both The Devil And The Whore and The Atavism Of Evil are masterpieces. Take it from a band with covers of Razor, Exciter, and Onslaught. These fucking Canadians know metal!

Well I just gave the new Naglfar album a couple spins, and I found this album thoroughly enjoyable. The guitars are thicker than Pariah but they churn out the same quality of menacing melodic black metal. Olivius' vocals have improved a bit, but nobody will ever properly replace Jens Ryden.
Lyrics are even worse than the previous album, but that was the only major drawback to the album.

 

[Astrum]

Production quality is too good. Everything by that band sounds like it was recorded in a tin shed. Overly average, if you ask me.

Anyway, I'm not shamelessly promoting or anything, but some feedback would be nice. I know the vocals suck hardore ass, moreso than everything else, but I haven't really done this whole black metal thing in a while, and my mic is absolutely terrible, which is probably the main factor (NO, my mouth is no too close to the mic. It just sucks). I'm still working the kinks out of the programs on my computer.

I really haven't worked on anything but a two peice grindcore band lately, and it is mostly random so it doesn't take much talent or real guitar practice, so I am extremely rusty. Anyway, now that I am done making exsuses, listen away and give some feedback. Besides the obvious.

You def. made that up as you went along.

 

[MasterOLightning]

Don't have vocals. Those are bad, especially that high in the mix. At least record them after the songs are done and then mix them down.

 

[Astrum]

I most definitley have THE most ghetto mic ever created. I plan on buying a new one incredibly soon.

 

[MasterOLightning]

I made my rehearsal tapes with a $20 no-name brand mic, recording guitar and drums at the same time, and it didn't turn out all that bad.

Many people say that the Shure SM-57 or 58 are great, but they still run about $100.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

I thought yours was pretty good though.
