Black Metal.

Fractal Possession!

I thought I'd be the only one who likes this one.

No way, that is a good release.

I missed the Samael discussion, but I'm glad to hear that Blood Ritual is their best release seeing as I just won a copy on ebay.

 

[skeptik]

You suck, I was looking at that...that's the guy I bought The Moaning from, which I haven't received yet.

 

[KevenZ]

Looks like I need to check out Krieg soon...
From there myspace influence section.

There? Krieg is basically a one man band.... anyway I must say it's probably one of the hardest band to get into, because it's very low-fi and really agressive but yet very unique. Destruction Ritual and The Black House are the only albums I like from Imperial.

 

[KevenZ]

So far what are the best Black Metal albums of the year for everyone?

Deathspell Omega - Fas
Lurker of Chalice - Perverse Calculus? (only heard one song but I have hope for this)
Axis of Perdition - Grief Of The Unclean

that's all....there's been plenty of good releases but nothing breathtaking this years.

 

[unknown]

the new Axis of Perdition is out?!

 

[sovereignpink]

Ilike the more progresive bands like Borknagger but Gorgarath and all the "oldschool Tru Kvlt" black metalstuff I have no stomech for because of the lyrics I take nothing away from the uscinship but look at Darkthrone as an example there last album to me and this is my opinion sounded like a hardcore record and notblack metal to me the defeniton of Black metal will be Immortal

 

[Killbot]

I hate Havohej.

You and me both.
Also Ildjarn. Crap.

As for best of 2007, Krohm's The Haunting Presence is the first one that springs to mind. I haven't listened to too many 2007 releases though and I'm still yet to hear the latest DsO.

 

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

Whoa, nice...someone else who doesn't enjoy Ildjarn...I dislike Sort Vokter too. Just could not get into it.

 

[DarkBliss]

I only heard Forest Poetry and it was pretty awful, imo. but then again I dislike most lo-fi, ultra-raw BM.
I did learn to appreciate Beherit though Very good stuff.

 

[Pessimism]

Ildjarn, Nargaroth, Sort Vokter & Judas Iscariot are all overrated bands imo.

 

[~Derek~]

Ildjarn is very hard on my ears.

 

[entanglement]

Don't propogate the non-metallers' slogan here.

 

[~Derek~]

^I'm confused by what youre saying?

 

[J.]

i love that sort vokter album

 

[Slayed Necros]

Ildjarn rules! Some of the best BM ever, seriously. But yeah, it takes a long time to fully appreciate his work.

Agreed on all those except Ildjarn!

Fuck yes. I thought it was total shit until something clicked, and then it was really the only thing I listened to for like a month.

 

[Pessimism]

I only like a few songs out of all of Ildjarn's catalog.

 

[Matt]

I like mostly everything, ambient stuff included.

I especially like his ambient work.
