@ J.

Darken looks like a Black Metal Santa Claus in that photo

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

as well he should. lol

Has Summoning been mentioned in this thread yet? They are ok.

Other then that, Moonblood. Kick arse German Black Metal band.

If this isn't fucking cool for packaging art, I don't know what is.

 

[Sabin Frost]

Haha, that is pretty sweet... reckon someone got their hands on some of Varg's negatives?

It's not a stave church.

Fans of Darkestrah can read a review I did here. Note that it is quite long, and I went into a lot of depth, but felt it suitable considering their lesser known ethnic origins and culture. Patient readers and deeper fans of the pagan aspects of Black Metal need only hit the link

It will be up on Metal Archives soon

its funny that you mention nachtmystium... i took this from their myspace page a while ago and thought it was funny but now you give it relevance "We are NOT a black metal band and wish not to be branded as such, the future of Nachtmystium lies within no boundaries, no scenes, genres or cliques."-Blake J. Funny....

From what I've heard the other works of this band move into even more experimental territory, I've been meaning to check them out. Has anyone heard Ordog?

I own Ordog, and it's probably the most inaccessible album I own. Don't buy it if you're not willing to get used to it.



Also, thanks to everyone for the German BM recommendations. I'll check these bands out for sure.

Is there any technique for "appreciating" Mutiilation? (besides filling my ears with strontium hydro xide). I'm on what I think is my 5th try but it ain't speaking my language.

PS why is the word "hydr0x" censored on UM?

Your reviews are almost as beautiful as the works of art they describe. I really want to get this album now.

 

[Hubster]

Thanks man I hope I have done the album justice.

Forgotten Legends...or Autumn Aurora...really anywhere other than Songs of Grief & Solitude is a good place to start (well, Swan Road may not be the greatest to start off with either, but it's still a fucking awesome album)

What's bad about Songs of Grief? i seen good reviews on that one...

Yeah, listen to the right albums.

Which means ONLY Remains Of A Ruined, Dead, Cursed Soul and Vampires Of Black Imperial Blood.

I'd assume it is censored due to the drug spammers we get around here.

Sounds great, I like a challenge.

Drudkh > Nachtmystium anyday of the week.

I still don't get the fascination with Nachtmystium here, although, I know many here are from the US, so I guess they have a good US following perhaps...

Well I haven't heard Drudkh, but Nachtmystium, especially their newest album, sound very unique and powerful to me. I love the solos especially, along with everything else.

Yeah I saw this. Kind of lame, but they still make great music.

Nachtmystium is excellent stuff, but I have very high expectations for the Drudkh albums I'll soon be acquiring.

It's a fine album, but probably not the best album for a person to start with for Drudkh.

Thoughts on Fear Of Eternity?

Thoughts on Fear Of Eternity?

I actually like the band. Not the most genius music I've heard, but it's fine at certian points. I have "Spirit of Sorrow" and "Ancient Symbolism." I'd say that "Ancient Symbolism" was the better of the two.
