Hey satanic warmaster are great!!! They are much better than horna and sargiest.
CC, you might like Ondeskapt.
Ajatarra is pretty bad in my opinion. Bland and repetitive dark black/death metal stuff with a gloomy, goth edge. Blech. The album last year was boring as fuck.
No, Sargeist actually sucks. At least, that is, Satanic Black Devotion sucks.
After listening to Emperor's "Anthems...", I'm wishing I'd bought IX along with it. Now I've gotta wait.
I think Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D minor" could easily be pasted into many a black metal song without compromising the musical structure at all. Probably been thought of thousands of times, but I still believe it would be awesome to make a metal song out of that.
Speaking of Finnish BM, what's your opinion of Sear? I might order their album Begin the Celebrations of Sin soon.
