Black Metal.

[Slayed Necros]

I was underwhelmed by Untrodden... Gotta check out the new one properly. I've been loving their '97 demo Sarmutius Pegorus though:

 

[challenge_everything]

Yeah I haven't followed Varathron's work since Walpurgisnacht, so had suitably low expectations for this one.

 

[Slayed Necros]

This finally clicked for me a couple of weeks back and it's been utterly slaying me ever since. Pure barbaric savagery. Excluding I.N.R.I, obviously, it blows everything else Sarcófago did out of the water imo.

 

[Funerary_Doom]

^ Yeah that was incredible.

I'm sure this might have been posted about already, but new One Tail, One Head is good. I'm still digesting it though.

So what are your opinions on the new Behemoth album? I still haven't gotten through since I dont feel like doing it. The singles were okayish, but I dont feel compelled to listen to the whole thing.

Is in general terms an enjoyable album. It lacks punch due the lightness of guitars, but the actual compositions are good. The track order could have been better and the intro utterly sucks.

Sohrin - I det glimrande morkrets djup



Nastrond - Toteslaut



Throne of Ahaz - Nifelheim

Never heard of Thornium, added them to my black metal playlist. Love spotify.

Looking for recommendations of freezing cold majestic black metal.

Stuff like:

Sorcier des Glaces - North
Paysage d’hiver
Early Forteresse
In the Nightside Eclipse
Moonblood
Far Away from the Sun
Pure Holocaust

In other words, give me the most bone-chilling and frigid black metal you’ve ever heard.

Have you checked out the new Spectral Wound? @Atomic Tide included it in his 2018 list and it's quite good.

 

[Phylactery]

I have yeah. Need to give it another listen or two. Doesn't sound very icy or frigid, though.

 

[CiG]

Apologies, I guess I don't listen to enough black metal that I'm able to separate the cold and frigid bands from the less cold and less frigid bands, since majority of the genre sounds cold and frigid to me.

This is most of the stuff I liked and saved to a Youtube playlist, you might find something in here:

Spoiler

 

[rms]

yeah, that cold/frigid crap is a bunch of pretentious horseshit

spectral wound is a great release though

 

[no country for old wainds]

@dwellerINTHEdark @spikes77

i don’t like this as much as skuggflock so far, but i thought id tag the other people who liked that.

Thanks for the heads up, I totally forgot this band existed!

2019 black metal on my radar:

 

[challenge_everything]

The new Sargeist album is a beast

 

[Phylactery]

Really? I’ve always thought they were a pretty average band. I’ll give it a listen. Can’t be worse than the new Funeral Mist which defiled my ears.

I know, I always thought the same, but it surprised me too. Nothing groundbreaking but nice and chunky, a bit like the Spectral Wound album
