Probably.
Anyways, I'm preparing myself to listen to the new Kroda
It'd better not ruin their so far perfect record.

Holy shit, the production on Beherit's Drawing Down the Moon is terrible. I love it.
That album rules super hard.

seriously.
Salomon's Gate is one of the most badass songs in black metal.

The Ultimate Death Worship is the lesser of their masterpieces, where the keyboards take a backseat to a fuller and more varied guitar play. I stil consider it a great album, bursting with hatred yet retaining a thin veil of beauty against the more violent stage. "Suicide Commando" is in my top 5 Limbonic Art songs, and can be found on that album.
Keyboards are often used wrong in metal because they are used as a secondary instrument trying to be a primary instrument, and failing. Limbonic Art, especially in the earlier half of their discography, arrange multiple keyboard layers into a fabric, backboned by simple guitar lines. Ad Noctum: Dynasty of Death saw the guitars attempting to usurp the dominant role of the keyboards, resulting in the band's finest work to date, where the perfect equilibrium of guitar and keyboard interplay was achieved.
The Ultimate Death Worship saw the guitars take too much power from the keyboards, thus weakening their effect and causing many critics to cry the decline of Limbonic Art. I do not deny this decline, but I'm still pumped for the new album.

"From Shades Of Hatred" features one of the BEST opening vocal elucidations (a scream in this case) in any metal song. I can't even describe it...just listen.
Anyway, I'm not a huge LA fan, but I own Moon In The Scorpio and like it quite a bit.

Daemon is one of my favorite black metal vocalists. Such passion, such hatred spew forth from his throat. His vocals are one reason why Zyklon will never top their debut, on which he does vocals.

For some reason prior to now I have never listened to Emperors - In The Nightside Eclipse... I feel like kicking myself. I have a few of their other albums, I am just regretting skipping over this.

That's a classic black metal release, genre-defining in the same way Under a Funeral Moon was.

IMO Anthems is their best album, but I have not heard all of their work. Emperor are a brilliant band.
Also, that Limbonic Art song is not that bad, its not brilliant but it could be a lot worse with those keyboards.

Emperor is the one major BM I don't particularly care for. There is something about them that turns me off.
Hatebreeder
Pizzicato Heartstrings
Hm...too much of an "epic" factor? All of their albums are oppressive in scope. It takes a lot to penetrate their enormous cacophony of sound.

I think that's part of it. Black metal is kind of my "break" metal from Brutal death, so if something is too powerful or too aggressive, it doesn't work for me, despite being a good album objectively. I think that is why I lean towards more suicidal, slow and atmospheric BM bands.
