Black Metal.

Nocturnal Depression is really boring and not original in any way.

 

[Alter]

And pathetic. Any band who preaches suicide to that level should do it already.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Pretty much. I'm not a big fan of the depressive except for old Bethlehem and I'm not even sure if they are considered a part of that subgenre.

Yeah, Bethlehem's first two albums rule.

I'm not much into the depressive stuff either but Xasthur's Nocturnal Poisoning is pretty awesome.

Listening to Blut aus Nord's MoRT right now. I've had this for awhile and haven't gotten around to getting any of their other material. What else from them is worth picking up?

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Everything else. MoRT is trash. Get "The Work Which Transforms God", "
Memoria Vetusta I: Fathers Of The Icy Age", and "Ultima Thulée".

 

[whiskey funeral]

I don't think it's trash but definitely not something I listen to on a regular basis. But anyway, thanks.

 

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

Yeah, everything else by them is much, much better.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Just get their first four. The Work Which Transforms is basically a better version of everything else to come.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i wouldn't bother with 'mystical beast...' myself, if you only get one make sure it's 'ultima thulee'

 

[sevag00]

I'm an ignorant guy who doesn't like Nocturnal Depression.

Fixed.

 

[skeptik]

You don't need a fucking comma there you ugly my pals.

 

[sevag00]

Don't call me my pals, my pals.

 

[whiskey funeral]

Wait, so now people are ignorant for not liking a band or album that another enjoys? Unreal.

 

[Stratorock666]

Never really gotten into black metal. anybody recommend any good starting points?

 

[Zephyrus]

Never really gotten into black metal. anybody recommend any good starting points?

Start with the classics...

Burzum - Filosofem
Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse
Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas
Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger
Bathory - Under the Sign of the Black Mark

 

[darrkon]

Start with Melodic Black Metal and work your way in.

I'd say Dimmu Borgir and Old Man's Child.

 

[no country for old wainds]

Start with the classics...

Burzum - Filosofem
Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse
Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas
Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger
Bathory - Under the Sign of the Black Mark

+
immortal - pure holocaust
beherit - drawing down the moon
sacramentum - far away from the sun
enslaved - vikingligr veldi
graveland - thousand swords

also 'filosofem' might be the most accessible burzum but it definitely isn't the most classic, you should give 'hvis lyset tar oss' a listen as well because it's probably the most well acclaimed BM record of them all.

 

[Omni]

I like the new Faustcoven a lot.

 

[sevag00]

No, it's not that, i have total respect for others opinions, but he always has to make stupid and worthless comments on this band every time i mention it.

 

[Omni]

Maybe that's because Nocturnal Depression is stupid and worthless, not to mention there's nothing about them that stands out as original or unique.
