Black Metal.

[George]

I dont get why CB uses "north" in an album title. France is a not a northern country.

Where you're right: France is not a northern country.
Where you're wrong: Clandestine Blaze is from Finland.

Obtained Enslavement is good, too bad the onl place you can fidn their CD Witchcraft on Ebay, it's also out of print.

I dislike most black metal but I have to admit that Land of the Dead, the last track on Summoning's Oath Bound, is a damn excellent song

How about that whole album is excellent.

 

[~Derek~]

I just listened to part of the DeathSpell Omega burnt CD phrk33 sent me, vocals are good but the music is just weird.

 

[Matt]

The music is awesome on every disk.

 

[~Derek~]

I'll have to let it grow on me, it is very unaccesible, but it's not bad.

 

[skeptik]

I thought you said Fas sucked.

 

[Matt]

I thought you said Fas sucked.

Tis true, I did. It took a long time to grow on me, but now I like it a lot. It's probably my least favorite though.

its because they are overrated as shit

 

[ShredHeadJHJ]

I will say this - it's impossible to be able to listen to & absorb every single Black Metal band's music under the rainbow There's literally over 20,000 Black Metal bands out there I would bet. A lot of guys will just drop some really obscure band's like Korgonthurus then try to act like everyone should have already heard of them. That's the thing I just don't get.

 

[MasterOLightning]

Obscurity is all relative.

 

[ShredHeadJHJ]

Obscurity is all relative.

Not really. A lot of bands can qualify as being obscure. I went to see "Wolves in the Throne Room" the other day & most or all of the people I talked to at the concert had never heard them before, yet they're pretty popular on internet forums. I live in Orlando too which is a pretty big city. I don't even think there was 200 people at the show, & virtually everyone was there to see Jesu who headlined. They didn't even play to a sold out crowd, yet some folks would argue that both bands are EXTREMEMLY popular...

All I'm saying is they're not obscure to me because I hear about them on the internet a lot & I've been listening to them for awhile, but try name dropping them to virtually anyone on the street & see what happens.

 

[fates warning 666]

What albums should I check out from the following bands?

Summoning

You can't really go wrong with Summoning, but Dol Guldur is their best and anyone who doesn't list it isn't worth heeding.

Mortal Heroes is probably their weakest, incidentally.

:zombie: You just defined relativism regarding obscurity.

Hahaha.


I think Wolves In The Throne room is one of the better BM bands around today. I must say the first track off the new record has a strong Jesu sounding influnce. I think that WITTR know how to write
songs that flow nicely and they do not worry about the silly corpse paint and the bad production.

All Hail The Wolves...

 

[RosesofShadow]

Me like Legion of Darkness...
