Black Metal.

[CiG]

As much as I do agree that Vikingligr Veldi is a pinnacle of black metal, Blodhemn is my personal favourite of their albums.

Eld also gets much worship from me and like Ein said, later Enslaved is brilliant music but it probably relates much more to a taste for progressive rock. They always had a certain progressive layer in their early days though.

I love their strange use of keyboards on their early albums.

I like old school stuff and black/death, like von, archgoat, old beherit, blasphemy, teitanblood, sarcofago.

 

[Krow]

Von is awful but kind of fun to occasionally listen to.

So I was looking around to see what the first two Aeternus albums are going for and wow that guy from Sopor Aeternus is a faggot.

 

[Rumpole]

I was big into Enslaved for a time although my taste in heavy metal changed around the time Ruun came out, which as I recall had a few good tracks on it. My favourites were always Below The Lights and Isa.

The first 2 Aeternus albums are fucking Godly. I don't think they're hard to find and they go for a normal price. My friend's parents bought me "And So the Night Became" for my birthday many years ago. The only way I can really describe that album is cinematic.

I'm gonna get flamed for this but I think Aeternus is just ok based on And so the Night Became... It is pretty epic but it does tend to bore me after a spell. I honestly think I listened to Beyond the Wandering Moon once so I have no comment on that one. Haven't bothered with anything else by them.

 

[Phylactery]

Well obviously you need to reevaluate your opinion. But yeah, they took me a while to get into actually as their albums are incredibly dense and rather subtle. The Dark Sorcery EP and Shadows of Old (which is far more death metallish but still retains the folkish melodies) are also worthwhile, just not as masterful as the first 2 albums.

I mean just listen to:


"In shimmering circles of silver light, in icy wind and spitting fire, through flowing stream and ancient mountaaaaaaaaiiiiiinnnnn aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! "
Fucking spine chilling. The keyboard touches in this song are also amazingly well executed.


And



Savage blast beat sections interwoven with glorious folkish sections. "I will hunt these weak infidels, my people's souls must be given their rest, they must be given their rest. I WILL HUUUUUNNNNTTTTT!"

Most extreme metal vocalists can only dream of being this good.

I didn't know Sopor Aeturnus had any other members besides Anne-Varney.

Yeah I do a lot of price checking because I buy tons of albums Got them both for $20, seemed a decent deal.

Was it you who bought the Wolfnacht album recently? Where did you get it from?

 

[Draehl]

I think someone here posted this at some point. In any case, pretty great. I wouldn't exactly call it atmoblack, but definitely has atmosphere. Also reminds me of Bolzer just a touch on some of the riffs.

Which album? Bought a couple double albums from different places.

Heidentum, a song from it was posted in the Themed Mixtape Game and I'm sure you said you found it to buy.

Ok gotcha. Signal Rex has it on a double album with Night of the Werewolf for 10 euro. That's where I got it.

Walmart is playing a dangerous role in the normalization of Burzum t-shirts

this reflects way worse on burzum than it does on walmart lol. dude needs to stop with the goofy vlogs and commit some felonies already.

also fuck the relentlessly worthless av club.

 

[CiG]

In all fairness, the shirts are being sold through an outside seller, Rockabilia, on Walmart’s website, and aren’t actually available in Walmart stores. (Amazon also sells the exact same shirt, for the record.)

When the writer demonstrates that their article is pointless trash yet keeps fucking going. Honestly, what the shit was the point of it?

 

[rms]

only 2 tracks but sounds pretty good

 

[crimsonfloyd]

Damn. Really liked it. A little more depressive than their previous works. Looking forward to hearing the whole thing and seeing them live.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

This is definitely a new contender for AOTY because it reached my criteria, which is me getting blown away upon first listen. This is phenomenal stuff IMO

I have this album it's good. Check out Ultar when you can.
