Black Metal.

Have any of you heard Obtained Enslavement's Centuries of Sorrow? It's on Ebay for 160 $ and I never hear anyone speak of it, just Witchcraft, also a Soulblight Digipack is on there for 25 $.

Yeah, Centuries of Sorrow is good. It's rather standard raw Norwegian Black Metal - not nearly as developed or orchestral as Witchcraft or Soulblight, but good, nonetheless. It's never spoken of because of it's rarity and the band's obscurity in general.

anyone know what "urgrund" is? Redstream just sent me 3 cds from them by mistake lol.

Awesome Aussie band with a member or two from Abominator!!

What is Hellhammer and why should I care about their new release, Demon Entrails?

Its not a new release. Its a reissue. Hellhammer were the band before Celtic Frost. They are very important in the history of black metal.

 

[skeptik]

Uh...

Hellhammer was the band that predated and somewhat evolved into Celtic Frost. Hellhammer's demo recordings and EP "Apocalyptic Raids" have proven over time to be some of the most influential material in the history of the genre, vividly shaping the direction extreme metal would take from that day forward. Demon Entrails is a collection of those demos.

I should write blurbs.

Hellhammer was formed by Tom G. Warrior and they changed thier name to Celtic Frost without ever having recorded a single full album or playing a live gig. They are a major influence for most black metal bands and many others.

Demon Entrails is an official compilation of thier rare and expensive demos Death Fiend, Satanic Rites and Triumph of Death. Some of thier official demo's, and even bootleged ones fetch about 200+ on the open market.

*Death Fiend and it doesn't have Apocalyptic Raids.

Sorry Nec, some Von got thrown in my thinking I guess.

 

[Alter]

Von is pretty terrible. I will Hellhammer any day over them.

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

Von is great for background music.

 

[Zephyrus]

I'll Hellhammer all day too, as soon as I get Demon Entrails on Saturday. At last the moratorium will terminate and I can buy CD's again!

moratorium? giving up satanic metal for lent?!

Nope, I really dont find anything interesting about that band.

 

[Zephyrus]

No. I self imposed a moratorium on buying CD's after buying a boatload of them over holiday break.

They say abstinence makes the sex so much better.

You should just give it a proper listen. Prefferably at night, listen to Satanic Blood. It's actually pretty good.

So is using myspace music like jerking off?

[JontRevolting]

I'm sure at the time of release most who heard "Satanic Blood" would've been suitably offended

 

[skeptik]

VON is awesome. Period.
