Black Metal.

I havent really listened to my Vrani Volosa cds since I got them but suddenly wow'd. Vedi and their Bulgarian titled CD is fucking amazing, any fans of Primordial should find them now!

Uh, SMRC is their best by far imo

yeah, I like that one best of the two I have (I was referring to that and Fas when I mentioned "the latest full lengths")

will give inquisitors and the manifestations releases a listen asap
 
Anyone else think Filosofem starts off promising and ends poorly? Dunkelheit, Jesus' Tot and Erblicket are great songs, but the rest just drags on and tires me. I certainly don't like the freaking 25 minutes of repetitiveness on Rundgang.

Am I missing something?

I think you're missing ears that work properly, since I consider that to be a near flawless album.
 
Regarding Deathspell Omega:

The first two (Inquisitors of Satan and Infernal Battles) are, for me, mediocre: typical Transilvanian Hunger-derived black metal that I've heard hundreds of times before. However, everything after those two is mandatory.

Regarding Filosofem:

That album is flawless. Keep listening, you'll get it.
 
no one in extreme metal seems able to agree on what constitutes good vocals...

btw, I sampled some of the Manifestations 2002 stuff ("procreation epidemic" and "monotonous ecstasy of death") courtesy of youtube, sounds pretty cool! One more question, though: as I understand it, Manifestations 2002 is actually new tracks written for an LP that never came to fruition, and is essentially an LP in its own right, whereas 2000-1 is a bunch repackaged tracks from some older splits they did. Has anyone heard the splits? Would it be worth picking them up separately for the other bands involved (Moonblood and Mutiilation), or should I just try and get the DSO compilation?

oh, another random BM-related comment: On the new Leviathan, the leaked track names were MUCH cooler than the names on the final release. In particular, "Flagellum Raised To The Sky" > "Vulgar Asceticism."
