He was the first person I ever put on ignore and if he comes back because you mentioned and notified him I will find you and I will kill you.

I'm on my way to Poland now.

In the last decade, what's your best 'new' black metal band?

Hands down, I think, it's Mare Cognitum

All albums for 21$, bandcamp is the shit.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

Their 2016 record is nice.

Or just download them for free, because buying MP3 files can fuck off. Physical forever.

 

[rms]

that's a really stupid opinion

so happy that I can't listen to music because bands/labels aren't interested in reissuing them and guys who sit in candlelit rooms with skulls as their tea mugs can read liner notes and resell for 100$ years later

MP3's are the greatest thing to happen to non-mainstream music and it's time for people to embrace them.

I'm fine with it if the album is out of print and I can't find it at a reasonable price. I'd still rather have a physical copy, though.

[rms]

if that isn't clear, you'd rather steal then support the band in the most direct way (labels are not required on bandcamp)

 

[Krow]

So which are you talking about, new bands releasing stuff currently or old out of print shit? Because there's a fuckton more of one than the other on band camp. I'm pretty sure Realm doesn't have a band camp set up so I can buy Endless War mp3s.

Do I believe I'm stealing from a band that's been broken up for 20 years? They should be happy I remember them.

No, I dont purchase music from new bands that don't use physical formats.

 

[rms]

new small time bands sell out too? or can't get distro because they are poor/don't want to relinquish sales/ownership of the music?

So if Realm came back up tomorrow and hosted their discog on bandcamp you'd rather download a torrent than support them. just admit this has no logic at all

1) Download & listen.
2) Delete if bad.
3) Buy vinyl if awesome.
4) Keep illegally downloaded if good-ish.

No way I could afford to buy everything, but I try to support the really great bands.

This is me. I love bandcamp and use it exclusively. But i wont even consider buying anything from a band unless they offer physical merch

Tbh I very rarely download anything. I'll listen to an album on YouTube or bandcamp and if I like it I check around MA and discogs to see what the band has released. I keep a crazy list of shit I want to buy and chip away at it while adding new shit to it constantly so it literally never ends.

And to the whole @rms thing, let's be honest, if Realm comes back, just like when all these bands come back, it would be to promote physical re-releases of their music, not to peddle mp3s. You're the one who mentioned shit that was UNAVAILABLE. Of course if an old band gets back together and re-releases shit it's available again so there's no point to even be made.

 

[rms]

new bands sell out toooooooo or have limited pressings or omg only cassettes

kind of done with this though

why isn't anyone else putting their fav BM releases

 

[Phylactery]

Negative Plane - Et in Saecula Saeculorum

One of the best black metal releases in the past decade. Well it's slightly older than a decade now being released in 2006, but whatever.

Panphage - Drengskapr

I've never heard this Mare Cognitum band. Anything you could compare them to?

 

[Slayed Necros]

In the last decade, what's your best 'new' black metal band?

Panphage, Svolder, Cultes des Ghoules, Possession, Hades Archer, Negative Plane

Never heard of these. What do you recommend by them?

if Vektor wasn't thrash metal, maybe. Space-y BM. Interludes of atmospheric to slightly less heavy Far Away From The Sun moments. Their whole discog for 21$ is amazingly cheap (like 4 or 5 albums and a split with Spectral Lore, IMO #2 band in the last decade) -- highly recommend you check them out.

His Best Deceit demo is my favourite. Great filthy old-school style stuff. Their debut album is supposed to come out this year.
