Black Metal.

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

To be honest I don't trust you with descriptions of things, but I'll check it out.

 

[Lord Kur]

haha, i don't really blame you. i only listened to it once. i don't think you will be blown away by it, though. it's really not as bad as i am making it sound i was just expecting a little bit more. it's got girl balls, not man balls

Hey guys, this is a great thread I've been following for years.

I'd like you BM aficionados opinions on this band:

http://www.myspace.com/vahagnband

They call themselves "Armenian Pagan Metal", but I'm not sure if they'd qualify as a subgenre of BM.

Cheers!

Listening to the Misery's Omen myspace. I really like the track "That Which Lies Beyond." Very unique. But the song "And the Stars Bled" turned me off with the progginess, except for the parts that sounded exactly like Leviathan (US).

 

[Lord Kur]

you can actually hear the bass pretty good in the mix and the bass player is just kinda noodling out his own thing like he's stoned and not paying attention. i don't see how the track is unique, though (referring to "that which lies beyond"). at about the 4:30 mark they start pretending to be pink floyd then they go back into the metulz

 

[Nightmare_Heaven]

I just listened and I quite like it.

 

[Lord Kur]

the song "fiendish ghoul" is pretty cool. they are all about sounding like the band Root and then they start all this jolly clapping. it is the first time i have heard clapping in a black metal tune. again the bass is pretty clear in the mix

Lake Forest, California?

yeah. I live in San Pedro (at the end of the 110South)

 

[Lord Kur]

ooh, that's where charles bukowski lived. is he a legend in san pedro?

 

[unknown]

yeah he's quite the legend here. I've actually met his ex wife a number of times

Just checking Metalseek, found this:

Khold - Hundre Ar Gammal - To be released in June 09th

Don't know what you guys think about them, but I really like their "Krek" album. I'll definitely check this new one. TBH I thought they wouldn't release any more records.

 

[Alter]

I thought Khold was done forever also. I guess Tulus did not take off like they thought it would.

 

[Hubster]

Does anyone ever feel a bit bummed that Harald Helgeson left Enslaved after Eld? I really do feel, that aside from Trym being a great speed drummer, Helgeson was definitely the best and most versatile drummer in Enslaved's history. Far better than Cato imo.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Hope Dies isnt an immediate listen at all.

If you enjoy Stargazer, imo, you will like Misery's Omen.

 

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

I'll definitely check it, but I find Stargazer a bit overrated.

 

[Alter]

Misery's Omen is bland as fuck.

Drautran is not bland. Check them out everyone.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Fuck Drautran!



Say what you will about Misery's Omen, but they are anything but bland.

 

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

Yeah I thought it was nice sounding but I doubt it'll make my top ten albums of 08 list or anything...I should probably check it out in full soon.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Drautran is not bland. Check them out everyone.

awesome band!

the new Odal is out, but not in the states, cant wait though

 

[Wolffaust90]

yeah. I live in San Pedro (at the end of the 110South)

Oh sweet man! That's awesome dude

If you know where Hogue Barmichaels is in Newport, my band is playing with a bunch of other metal bands on the 26th of june, if you are interested
