Black Metal.

Most people disagree, but I think Eikenskaden is a cooler band.

 

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

I agree.

 

[Omni]

That reminds me, he's about done with the new Mystic Forest album. It should be nice.

 

[Alter]

I honestly hope we get a new Mütiilation record in 08, Sorrow Galaxies was excellent.

Enslaved's Blodhemn is becoming one of my favorite Black Metal albums.

Don't know this one. But I really enjoy the ones I got (Below the Lights, Isa and Ruun), which are filled with different elements.

How does Blodhemn compare to them?

 

[Zephyrus]

I haven't heard much of the ones you listed, but expect a huge wall of guitar sound and very epic songwriting.

 

[Bitencourt29]

Then it's probably not different from the three I mentioned.

Below the Lights, Isa and Ruun are pretty solid records, I just don't get tired of listening to them. Definitely worth trying them.

They are all filled with progressive elements, while still keeping the dark atmosphere. Their link with black metal seems to be getting weaker with each release, though.

Now I want to get some of their old shit (will try Blodhemn for sure).

 

[Zephyrus]

I listened to some samples from Isa and Ruun a while ago and thought they lacked the energy presented on Blodhemn.

 

[unknown]

yeah I didn't really care for Isa or Ruun much. Below The Lights has some pretty good tracks. But it doesn't beat VV, Frost or anything else prior to Below the Lights

Misery's Omen - Hope Dies will not be beat for best BM album of '08. Probably best BM album I have heard in a long fucking time tbh.

I was going to give this a listen before I had to take off today, but I didn't get the chance to. I'll be hearing it when I get home tomorrow, glad to know that it's good.

And what an awesome album cover.

I'll be checking this out soon.

 

[Lord Kur]

i just listened to that misery's omen cd after i noticed all the good things said about it. the review at MA was really fellating it, too. well, i liked it, but nowhere near as much as i thought i was gonna. to be honest it was almost a chore getting through the whole thing. the "progressive" parts were nice but almost unnecessary. i'll give it some more spins but it's certainly not a masterpiece. i'd give it something like a 6/10 on first listen.

 

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

Yeah I need to check it out but I'm ready to be letdown by yet another meh band the metal scene feels the need to fellate.

 

[Lord Kur]

it's a mix of "light" black metal, a bit of doom and stuff that is the quasi-progressive bits that make you think of the gay parts of opeth.
