Black Metal.

[George]

Anyone else really into both albums other than me? I need to find something like this band.

I like both of the full-lengths. Some if it can get a bit "same-y," but there are some great moments on those records.

 

[EndlessSolitude]

I have Urfaust's two full lengths. There are some excellent songs but the ambient tracks are rather weak.

 

[Zephyrus]

If anyone like Emperor - ITNE, you guys should check Sirius - Aeons of Magick, it's an amazing release.....it's what emperor should have released after ITNE in my opinion. I re-checked that band today and forgot how great they were. Too bad they split like 5 years ago :S

These guys have been on my list a long time. I felt a bit discouraged when I heard songs from their second album on Black Metal Radio; they were disappointing.

I really like Urfaust's Verraterischer... album. I love the vocals

You're welcome.

Dueil Angoisseus is maybe the best recent Black Metal track ever. Peste Noire are true craftsman. Excellent records.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Yeah that's a great song...Retour De Flamme and the re-working of Spleen are among my other favs.

Oh of course.

I really need to get to translating some of the lyrics. I will post it here for all to see.

The Autumn Aurora picture disc looks pretty. I want it.

You're right, the second album sucked imo... they turned into a more heavy black metal style like later Emperor. But trust me, the first album is quite different, it's symphonic/atmospheric like early emperor or early limbonic art. Also, there is another band similar to Limbonic Art called Obsidian Gate you should give a try, another excellent band that vanished into oblivion.

I've heard of Obsidian Gate and liked their myspace tracks. I see I can get their first album on eBay for less than $10. Tempting...

 

[Zephyrus]

Listening to them again on myspace, and you were on the mark when you said this was like Limbonic Art!

Just placed a bid on The Nightspectral Voyage.

Is Wold any good?

Of the CD-R's Zephyrus sent to me, I'm enjoying Borknagar-Quintessence the best, I can't say it has any songs that I truly love like say "I Am The Black Wizards" or "Ea, Lord of The Depths" but I enjoy most of it, I'm just not into certain parts of the album and am not into the clean vocals, Vortex's cleans in Dimmu Borgir are better, Vortex sounds a lot like Ihsahn, but he is not a clone of him, it's got good songs but nothign on it just makes me say "This is a great song", though Icon Dreams is definitely my favorite on here, it really sounds like cheery happy progressive black metal, unlike anything I've ever heard with the exception of Emperor-Anthems at times. i'm trying to get into the Limbonic Art CD but it is so unaccesible it's not even funny, nothing about it is memorable or catchy to my ears, but I will continue listening to it.

Quintessence is NOT cheery and happy. You're applying a label more suitable for the band's Vintersorg era. This album is the band's darkest, and the presence of clean vocals by no means makes it happier or cheerier. I think you are confusing, in terms of sound, cheery with epic, which are not the same thing.

Welcome to Limbonic Art.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Limbonic Art certainly are not the most unaccessible band, but the combination of searing guitar tone, bombastic symphonies, and long fucking songs could totally drive away some people...give it more time, I'd say.

Welcome to Limbonic Art.

It doesn't seem dark at all, this is probably the least dark black metal I've ever heard.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

It most definitely is; the funereal melodies on Moon In The Scorpio are extremely dark.

 

[skeptik]

He's talking about Borknagar btw.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

oic.

Well my point still stands

 

[skeptik]

Albeit irrelevant.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Yeah, just disregard the first clause.
