Black Metal.

Thoughts on Kratornas?

Get Autumn Aurora and Forgotten Legends.

+1
These are the reasons I got into BM.

I've been in BM for just about 1 & a half years,and for the last few months I've been digging deeeeep into 2nd wave & man!
notworthy

 

[black blood]

Enjoy it while it lasts, it's as good as it gets.

 

[Vilden]

I might buy that or the OLD WAINDS / NAV split. Not sure yet.

Forgotten Legend and Autumn Aurora both are much better then that split imo. Some of the finest albums to come out of ukraine. Too bad they fell into utter boredom after them.

 

[post-human]

Speaking of 2nd wave does anyone here agree with me that Hades/Hades almighty is underrated?It might be the fact that they came from Norway."Dawn of the dying sun" is flawless IMO.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Yeah, ...Again Shall Be and Dawn of the Dying Sun are great albums. I agree that they're underrated, but I'm sure they're held in quite high regard around these parts.

Discuss: 666 International

Personally I like this album, but there are many annoying qualities to it, namely the vocals (in most parts) and the piano interludes. Besides that, they really succeed in combining black metal with electronic/industrial beats, such as the beginning of "Ion Storm". If the whole album were more focused upon that aspect, I might have regarded it as one the best modern black metal albums of all time. But it's far too incoherent and in most places it fails to harness their potential.

 

[Skepticism]

Alright, as a fan of Ultima Thulée, I decided to get TWWTG because a lot of people here say it's their best. After listening to it I can say it's good but it's not even close to Ultima Thulée.
Ultima Thulée ftw.

I need to get more from these guys. I was thinking about picking up Estrangement but the whole four ten minute long song thing is getting a bit old for me, with my past few black metal buys with about four songs each clocking in around ten minutes.

I think the Anti-Urban EP is worth the purchase as well.

As for Estrangement, I've only listened to it once so I don't have much to say about it other than the fact that it's too short. I agree that it's a fairly enjoyable album, and it shouldn't be ignored.

Try to stay away from Songs of Grief and Solitude until you've listened to everything up to, and including Blood in our Wells, since it's moslty just acoustic variations on songs from those four albums.

 

[tagradh]

Bands that sound similar to Ad Hominem, plskthx?

 

[Alter]

Striborg!

Where do I start. I am loving some random tracks that I have been listening to on myspace.

 

[cookiecutter]

I have Nefaria/A Tragic Journey to the Light and, while I liked it initially, it kinda sucks

Thunderbolt - Inhuman Ritual Massmurder

Nowhere. As CC said, the novelty wears off quickly.

 

[Addo_Of_Nex]

Striborg!

"Trepidition" is the only Striborg album that I would say is worth getting, and it isn't really that great.

 

[KevenZ]

Thunderbolt is similar to Ad Hominem?

 

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

Not REALLY, but if he likes one, he'll probably like the other. Regardless, you didn't exactly come up with anything better.

As for bands that sound similar, maybe Tsjuder, Satanic Warmaster, Absurd...Aborym even.

Me taking a shit.

 

[Bothering]

Me taking a shit.

That's more of a solo project.
