Black Metal.

[Alter]

I did not like it. I feel that whole band lacks a lot of creativity. I feel it ok for raw black metal but no much for anything else.

 

[Pessimism]

I like how you started that sentence:
"I took my maiden voyage..."

 

[Zephyrus]

Sean Penn and Steven Colbert are no match for my metaphors...

 

[unknown]

LOL @ hot chicks in corpse paint.

I don't know...that part might be kind of cool

I took my maiden voyage on the S.S. Gorgoroth tonight with Under the Sign of Hell and all my expectations about this band were met. The riffs were vicious yet passionate, and the Norse roots shine through just enough to give it a perceivable sense of spirit. The production was a bit unsettling at first, particularly with the snare drum, but I got used to it and found that it suited the music well. The vocals were on par, and a few clean vocal sections were a welcome surprise.

Thoughts on this album?

Shit. First two are the only real good ones.

I liked AMSG a little though

I agree with you on your points (and appreciate your enthralling metaphor) and can say that it is probably my favorite album by them. The snare drum problem disappears pretty early in the album, anyway, and personally, I like unusual drum production.

Fucking hell what a fucking GAY poser fucktart.

Fuck the fucking fuck man! yo 'sup!

You should write lyrics for Children of Bodom

It's funny how none of the bands on the cover of that Revolver are really Black Metal. I haven't heard too much old Dimmu though & Behemoth used to be Black Metal. I've always been skeptical about checking out anymore old Dimmu. I have Stormblast & it's nothing to bust a nut over.

Enthrone Darkness Triumphant and Spiritual Black Dimensions are their peak. Beyond those is when many cease to call them Black Metal.

Check out some of these bands too. This is my recent purchase list. There is a lot of less accessible music out there but it is well worth the work to track it down. I think there is a lot more imaginative stuff out there than 1349 even though that stuff is pretty good too.

Is it because of the palm mutes and thrash riffs that some dont consider them to be black metal?

 

[Zephyrus]

Possibly, that and the fact that starting with PEM the production removed most of the atmosphere integral to the Black Metal aesthetic.

Then again I'm playing devil's advocate here, since I include all of Dimmu's material within my broad definition of Black Metal (everything from Welcome to Hell to Prometheus: The Discipline of Fire & Demise, basically).

 

[~Derek~]

Then what kind of metal would Dimmu be? To me they're black metal that doesn't sound like traditional black metal, kinda like how Enslaved and Emperor evolved as well.

 

[Zephyrus]

Same here.

 

[~Derek~]

In Sorte Diaboli is a pleasant surprise, I wasnt sure if the rest of the album would live up to the 3 really good songs I had heard from it, 8/10, I'm really enjoying it, now I'm wondering if PEM, which I'll get in a couple weeks, is going to live up to this record.

 

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

*attempts to derail the lame Dimmu discussion*

So uh...how about that Burzum? Best ALBUM (as a whole and judged holistically) is HLTO, best group of songs on a CD = Burzum/Aske. Disagreements??

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Yeah, Hvis Lyset Tar Oss is my favorite so far. I still need to pick up Burzum/Aske.

I guarantee you it will, if not surpass it with ease.

PEM is better. The only track I don't like on it is Puritania... otherwise great shit.

The lame Dimmu discussion shall continue!!! BWAHAHAHAHA!
But as far as Burzum is concerned HLTO is the best album. I'd have to say it is the best group of songs also. But these days my favorite Burzum is Filosofem... I love the ambience and atmosphere of that album.

Check out some of these bands too.

Nice list man
