Black Metal.

I didn't even know about it. I have one of the 50 copies of BTROF (was at the release show, which was amazing), but honestly, I think its his weakest release to date. Vocals sound a little squeaky and are too far forward in the mix. The riffs are a little thinner and resulting in less atmosphere. There are parts of it I like, but overall, it's a letdown.

I've wondered if it was meant to be a demo or something and they had a show coming up and just said, fuck it... lets release it along with the Shataan album that (i believe) came out the same day. No second press or even a mention of it afterward is also strange. CrepNeg dubs can be really fucking bad sometimes though, to the point it'd probably be hard to tell the difference. The new cd was released by Androgyny Whore btw. It was available thru the band's bandcamp or final agony records.

I'd love me some Transilvanian Hunger every once in a while.

I'd love me some Transilvanian Hunger every once in a while.

No shit. It's one of the greatest metal records ever.

Didn't know there was a new Lorn album coming out. Huzzah.

New Bornholm dropped back in December, Primaeval Pantheons. Can't seem to find any tracks on youtube, but the entire album is on spotify. Fucking epic shit.

[Einherjar86]

Thanks. Yesterday none of their videos were loading, they all said "error." Must have been something they fixed.

Anyway, love this tune. Some sick riffs...

I've been listening to Absurd and Temnozor a lot lately. I highly recommend Absurd's Totenlieder, it's a great folkish black metal album with some punk elements.

 

[no country for old wainds]

facta loquuntur is their best, totally classic.

Classic, but not their best, I'd have to hand that one to Totenlieder. I think they recycled their earlier songs so much that they lost some of their value, but still, those are great songs.

Dreaming of Your Love and Deep Dark Forest really make Facta Loquuntur. I love those songs, but the story behind Dreaming of Your Love is a bit weird. It's about Sandro Beyer's Sunday school teacher, whom Dark Mark Doom apparently fucked. That was the whole reason for the murder. Their bakcstory, while incredibly odd, is quite interesting.

 

[Slayed Necros]

The first four songs, Mourning Soul and Der Sieg ist Unser are what actually make Facta Loquuntur, though.

Asgardsrei is my overall favourite these days. I don't care for much after that.

can't stop playing this

Wow he has totally classy taste when it comes to Maiden and Bathory, nailed both #1 albums.

Loved that he mentioned Warhammer RPG too. <3

 

[Phylactery]

Hammerheart being Bathory's best album is a filthy lie that people need to stop spreading.

Somewhere in Time is also a weird choice for the best Maiden album for me as well.

 

[EspaDa]

Yeah, not including Piece of Mind is a sacrilege.

Twilight of the Gods is obviously Bathory's best
