Black Metal.

and can conclude that it does not sound like Dark Funeral with panflutes.

Good news. Can't wait.

Thoughts on Satanic Warmaster? I am finding Carelian Satanist Madness to be pretty sweet.

Like others have said, Strength & Honour is a worthwhile album. It's nothing original by any stretch of the imagination. It's one of those albums that has quite a few riffs that have me going "Haven't I heard that on some other album before?" But it definitely makes up for that with a lot of passion and energy.

^Is that the album with the song Rain Falls on it? I had a friend who learned that song on guitar before.

 

[skeptik]

Look it up on Metal-Archives.

 

[Skepticism]

Anybody know if were any Dawn - Naær Solen Gar Nider For Evogher vinyls released?

 

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

I am pretty sure it wasn't released/re-released on vinyl.

 

[skeptik]

I'm spinning Strength And Honour right now. I really can't say anything bad about it. Raw, ripping guitars accompanied by melodic, trancelike passages and effectively employed keys.

 

[Eerie Isolation]

Fucking hell, the Austere track up on myspace is just too spiffing good. Lyrinx split will be nothing short of incredible. Its my surest bet for best release of 2008 so far me thinks.

Also, listening to Thy Light, my tape came this morning. Its pretty ducking eh?

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Austere sound a lot like Silencer. Good stuff, though.

 

[Alter]

Austere sound a lot like Silencer. Good stuff, though.

Silencer is strange but not all that good. Decent? Yes. The lyrics though are pretty fucking good and interesting.

 

[Skepticism]

Listening to the newest Primordial, pretty good so far.

 

[Hatebreeder]

I just downloaded a shitload of folk/black/viking metal from some torrent sites and I've found quite a few gems, such as Winterwitch and Crom.

 

[ShredHeadJHJ]

Anyone have any comments on Blut Aus Nord's first album?? I was reading reviews on it & I'm thinking of looking into it. I have Memoria Vetusta I & TWWTG, but I don't want to miss out on something by them that I might wind up really liking. The other two albums are pretty good.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Ultima Thulee is leagues ahead of all their other albums.

 

[Eerie Isolation]

I always found The Work Which Transforms God to be the best, all good in other ways though!

 

[Zephyrus]

Avoid their latest. It sounds like a bunch of rejected tracks from the TWWTG sessions.

 

[~Neurotica]

Silencer is strange but not all that good. Decent? Yes. The lyrics though are pretty fucking good and interesting.

Aww, come on. Silencer is brilliant, on of the best examples of sdbm.

Listening to the newest Primordial, pretty good so far.

Yes. Primordial absolutely rules. And those lyrics are damn great, seriously.

So there're two good black metal news from me:

1. New Raventale track "From The Black Well...". Astaroth was using his own vocals this time. http://www.myspace.com/raventale

2. If you still haven't, - you know you want to listen to this czech folk black metal band Panychida. They use national bagipipes in their music, pretty cool stuff http://www.myspace.com/panychida

DBM is pretty hit or miss with me since Im pretty picky about vocals - alot of the time if the vocals are really whiny then I can't listen to it without getting really annoyed. But its relative though, I mean, I listen to Shining and people say that Kvarfoth's vocals are emo and whiny, but I don't see anything wrong with it.

 

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

Ultima Thulee is pretty fantastic, get it.
