Black Metal.

[Slayed Necros]

Can anyone recommend any black metal that has a medieval, mystical and nocturnal atmosphere like early Abigor? Doesn't have to be musically similar, I'm just looking for black metal with that sort of atmosphere.

The only thing I can think of that you may be unaware of is Kyprian's Circle - Noitatulen Vartija



and maybe Mjölnir

CIG - I liked the Amestigon track, will investigate further! Not sure how I feel about the Darvulia song, the production was rather off-putting but I can't make a proper judgement off one listen.

Slayed Necros - I am somewhat familiar with Kyprian's Circle, but I haven't listened to them much. That track was good so I'll need to revisit them. Never heard of Mjolnir but that sounded promising as well.

Cheers.

Finally hopped on the Sorcier des Glaces bandwagon. I'm currently listening to Moonrise In Total Darkness, which is fantastic... and I also have North, Ritual of the End, and The Puressence of Primitive Forests on the way because I'm a spazz. Looks like the debut is going to be hard to find. Hate uber limited shit.

The rerecording of Snowland is probably easier to find, but I've never heard it to know what they've changed about it.

I love Snowland, Moonrise in Total Darkness and North. I need to check out those mid-period album. Let me know how they are.

Also, where did you find Moonrise in Total Darkness? It's really expensive on Discogs.

Canadian dollar is trash so buying from there is pretty reasonable.

Been listening to loads of Uškumgallu the past few days. Overplayed them a bit when Rotten Limbs in Dreams came out but it's all good again.

Came across these guys earlier



Some of it's a bit weak (there's a too much of that saccharine tremolo picked wannabe Alcest riffing that dominates so many 'atmospheric' BM bands these days) but some of it's really cool. Riff and vocals at about 11mins (I think from the third track) is great.

This is my yearly post in this thread. Anyone heard this? Yeah I know it's Phil Anselmo (boo hiss) but this is solid black metal imo.

Man the USD being strong has me getting black metal packages from around the world again.

6 CDs from World Terror Committee in Germany ~$70 shipped.
7 CDs from Sepulchral Productions in Canada, $67 shipped.

Just make sure if you're fucking with a Euro distro it's a good one that doesn't charge you VAT in the states.

 

[The Ozzman]

that doesn't charge you VAT in the states.

You can get reimbursed for that from the gubment I believe.

Macabre Omen shared this band on Facebook just now.

ive got both albums from Tome of the Unreplenished. the first one was much better imo

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

Well that was impressively unimpressive.

 

[Krow]

Does anyone have any Blazebirth Hall recommendations? I know of Forest and Branikald but would like to get an idea of certain albums because they're expensive and mostly come from Russia.

 

[EspaDa]

You should give this band a try. This new album is a fucking masterpiece. They're outstanding live. Pure brilliance and enchantment.

i have a far from comprehensive knowledge of this scene, but for branikald you want RDJANDALIR, STORMHEIT and (reputedly) WINTERKALT. all the forest i've heard was pretty cool, i'd say the s/t or LIKE A BLAZE AMONG THE ASHES would be good places to start. raven dark's BERUSTET AV KRIEGSDRONNET is something of a classic with kvlt types, i can't rly remember it though. nitberg's NAGELREID and rundagor's STRONGHOLD OF RUINS are popular too, haven't heard those.

Should have the new Ruins of Beverast album tomorrow. Easily the most consistently high quality bm band these days.

You were thinking of Horna...

In my opinion, the Finnish and Eastern European scenes carry the torch of black metal through recent years.
