Black Metal.

Ildjarn is crap. there's no excuse for that shitty production.

Well, the songs are not bad but the production is terrible and ruins the listening.

It's fucking raw black metal, what do you expect?

AtHoW > PH

I agree! But DFM > AtHoW.

I think the production on ITNE is just fine, you're a fag if you disagree with me, etc.

 

[Hubster]

Don't pay any attention to him.

Awesome album. Even better live.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Indeed. Can you imagine Det Frysende Nordariket with clearer, more polished production? It'd basically lose all its atmosphere and cease to be worthwhile. Ildjarn is the best raw Black Metal in existence as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Zephyrus]

Try any Striborg production. That is terrible sound. Good music though.

I hate Striborg.

Some Mayhem or Darkthrone type production, Dark Funeral never had an album with bad production, I'm basically neutral on the fields of good and bad production in black metal, I don't mind either generally.

 

[skeptik]

I never noted any problems whatsoever with the production of Pure Holocaust. In fact, I think that the production compliments the music very well. Battles In The North, however, is so crap in terms of production that I had to get rid of it based solely on that alone.

 

[Crimson Velvet]

I don't have any issues with either, but then again, I am cooler than you.

 

[skeptik]

Battles In The North isn't very good musically anyway.

 

[The Ozzman]

I'm glad you got rid of it, because I like it

 

[Crimson Velvet]

Sure it is. Dramatic vocals, blistering drums and riffs that blaze like a fucking sun. People just tend to dislike it because it leans towards the more "brutal" aspects of black metal. But it does so without pretensions or gimmicks, just experience and skill.

 

[Life Sucks]

I listened to Ildjarn - Forest Poetry for the first time today, and I think it fucknig sucks. I don't get what's supposed to be so great about this band. It's not that I don't like raw bm, because I like Darkthrone and Moonblood and other raw bm bands.

Same, I don't "get" Ildjarn and Sort Vokter.

I've actually never bothered to check out Sort Vokter. And I guess I never will. I am expecting someone to say something like "go listen to Cradle of Filth" for making that post. There is good raw black metal and there is bad raw black metal. Ildjarn is bad raw black metal IMO. Stuff like Darkthrone and Moonblood has melody and atmosphere. Ildjarn has neither.

Also Havohej.

Raw production is fine, I'm all for it in fact, but the way these bands do it just makes it seem like a joke to me.

 

[Life Sucks]

The thing with Ildjarn is that the riffs suck. If he actually had good riffs with that production, then it would be fine. But what it sounds like is some guy who has only been playing guitar for half a year recording uber-simple, primitive bedroom black metal on an 80s tape recorder.

 

[Mort Divine]

melody and atmosphere. Ildjarn has neither.

Uhhhh, surely you are joking.
