Black Metal.

[Zephyrus]

Any black metal band can write songs with non-stop blasting and tremolo riffs. I think the main criticism of Dark Funeral is that they stick to this formula too closely, with little room for variation. That's why I consider In the Sign... to be their best work, because it's not mostly blasting, but creative drum rhythms, along with well-written riffs that aren't always just tremolo-blasting. And the vocals on that EP are much more vicious and passionate compared to later works.

Anyone a fan of Belenos? I was told by Loïc Cellier that Errances Oniriques is being rerecorded and will be released this year.

 

[Zephyrus]

Spicilege is very, very good.

 

[~Derek~]

well i don't know why you are dragging dimmu into this because dark funeral makes them sound like daisy scout talent show tryout girls.

Because I was making an example, I could've used any other black metal band that doesn't use the Dark Funeral formula.
Also I prefer the vocals on Secrets of The Black Arts to the ones on In The Sign. I do need In The Sign though because Open The Gates is very good, and I'm sure the Bathory cover is as well.

 

[Zephyrus]

The best songs on SotBA are the ones also found on In the Sign....

Fucking asshole, don't rerecord that album. It is perfect as is.

Tell me everything I need to know about Abruptum.

 

[Life Sucks]

Abruptum sucks

 

[cookiecutter]

Judas Iscariot is way too underrated on this forum. People should pay more attention to this guy's older releases.

Why? It's crappy Burzum/Darkthrone worship with zero spirit.

Even I agree with this

Wow, This is the first time i agree with you.

Tell me everything I need to know about Abruptum.

Noisy, droning, free-form black metal from Sweden. All you really need is Obscuritatem Advoco Amplectére Me. I enjoy it to a certain level but it is nothing magnificent.

"I call upon the darkness to embrace me"

Cool title, and I'll check that out if I see it cheap.

I've said this before, but you faggots need to listen to Infernal War - Redesekration. It rules.

yeah, i've been liking them a lot lately.

 

[swizzlenuts]

Belenos is pretty mediocre.

 

[Matt]

I love the solos he throws in there

You might like them. Its almost like a strung out version of Blut Aus Nord.

 

[Cythraul]

Belenos is pretty mediocre.

I used to like them a bit, but I agree they're pretty mediocre.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Errances Oniriques is cool, but yeah, nothing amazing. I also don't know why the hell it needs to be re-recorded, there's nothing wrong with the original.

On a different and much better note, my copy of the Hail DLP arrived today and it looks fucking great! Will have pics up soon. Also the Arckanum CDs finally arrived.

 

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

I hate you.

Also, good that the Arckanum discs finally got to you!
