Black Metal.

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.

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.

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.

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.

 

[J.]

Twilight of the Gods is obviously Bathory's best

 

[Slayed Necros]

Not even in their top five.

 

[Einherjar86]

I feel like this debate must have already happened multiple times on this forum.

And Hammerheart is easily Bathory's best.

Under the Sign of the Black Mark > Hammerheart > Bathory > The Return > Blood Fire Death > Twilight of the Gods > Blood on Ice > Both Nordlands > Who cares

 

[Phylactery]

The Return and Under the Sign of the Black Mark are better than Hammerheart, and Blood Fire Death reaches higher peaks but I'm not sure it's better overall.

 

[CiG]

Agree to disagree. I'll also take the Nordland albums over Bathory's black metal period.

 

[Vilden]

I listen to the most viking albums alot more than the bm ones except for BFD atleast. Not sure how I would rank them but a top 5 would be something like this:

1. Hammerheart
2. Blood Fire Death
3. Twilight of the Gods
4. Blood on Ice
5. Under the Sign of the Black Mark

I think both Nordland albums could be #5 instead too actually, not sure here.

Octagon is the shit. Top notch t(h)rash.
