Black Metal.

[Alter]

anyone know of any black/thrash similar to Immortal's At The Heart Of Winter?

Toxic Holocaust.

Toxic Holocaust.

are you sure? I checked them out awhile back it sounded like straight-up thrash to me.

Blackened thrash is thrash with black vocals.

It doesn't at all have to sound like black metal in the other categories.

eh, I'll give them another spin and see if I like it.

on another note, which Ulver album do you people think is better?

Bergtatt or Nattens Madrigal?

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

check out Helheim's 'Av Norrøn Ætt'. Tad more folky, but some great stuff, nonetheless.

The Journeys And The Experiences Of Death sounds alot like new Immortal

thrashy black metal with folk influences is MY cup of tea.

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

You drink some wierd fucking tea.

 

[DarkBliss]

You drink some wierd fucking tea.

I've seen cup of blood used as a non-gay alternative.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Bergtatt

That sounds like dani-filth would say.

Definately gayer by a million percent.

 

[Zephyrus]

Bergtatt or Nattens Madrigal?

Nattens Madrigal is what I would recommend for you. It's more for Darkthrone fans than Bergtatt is.

 

[Life Sucks]

Nattens Madrigal is the most black metal Ulver CD. It's probably my favorite CD they ever recorded.

 

[J.]

it sounds too contrived. not natural or pure

 

[KevenZ]

Could someone recommend me some black metal in the vein of Hirilorn's Legends of Evil and Eternal Death? This is great shit!

Osculum Infame - Dor-Nu-Fauglith

Probably the most underrated French Black Metal Band. (With Hirilorn 2nd)

 

[Evil?]

eh, I'll give them another spin and see if I like it.

on another note, which Ulver album do you people think is better?

Bergtatt or Nattens Madrigal?

Both are great but Bergtatt is amazing. One of the first Black metal albums I really loved. Brilliant stuff.

Yeah, I've always been a bit suspicious of this one. It came out in 1997, right? It certainly wasn't offering anything new by then. For some guys who had a lot of creativity and talent, NM's lack of creativity is conspicuous. I can see that people might just like it for the riffs and atmosphere, but I don't see anything too special in the album.

 

[Crimson Velvet]

I agree with this, but then again, there are some people with impeccable taste that don't, so it's hard to say.

Shouldn't be too hard to say, if you've listened to it sufficiently and made up your mind about it.

I haven't listened to NM in a very long time. It's too hard on the ears and I don't see myself wanting to listen to it often. An album which serves as a good introduction. I guess, for people wanting to get into raw BM since musically it's quite simple and easy to get a hang of, if you're able to penetrate the scrape.

Nattens Madrigal seems to be the ultimate distillation of all that is worthless about black metal. It's amazing that Ulver would become such a great group in the electronic realm when they were capable of producing something as worthless as that album. Perhaps it was intended as a joke?

I think the first two albums from their famous trilogy are great. Ulver have always been a chameleon band, and with each release tried to assimilate into what was popular at the time. No wonder they went electronic at this day and age. I'll have to listen to their recent works some more. Don't know what to make of them yet.
