Black Metal.

[Eligos]

My brain hurts.
How do you people listen to black metal?
Listening to Zeph's radio show.

Same way you listen to thrash, I'd suppose.

 

[Addo_Of_Nex]

To be fair, the entire album really has to be heard right in a row. And to me it was pretty bad at first, but after I got used to it, it became one of my favorite albums EVER.

I'll agree that the whole album is most effective when listened in its entirety, but songs like "Our Blessed Frozen Cells" and "Procession of the Dead Clowns" are brilliant on their own imo.

 

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

"Choir of the Dead" and "Our Blessed Frozen Cells" are definitely the best songs to listen to non-contextually. IMO Procession isn't one of the best to just throw on. It is really effective right after Density.

I caught on to Black Metal right away through symphonic Black Metal, since I grew up listening to Classical music.

 

[Hatebreeder]

I grew up listening to Classical music.

Same. This is why I started in metal listening to epic power metal bands and why symphonic BM wasn't a huge stretch for me.

Symphonic black metal is awesome.

I saw the newish Illidiance video about a week ago, after neglecting them for a couple years. Can't stop listening to them now.

 

[Lord Kur]

profanum is one of my favorite bands

 

[Eligos]

Have you heard Bismukh's cover of Chainsaw Gutsfuck? I laughed my nads off. Kinda regretting it now.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

So I'm listening to Fas - Ite, Maledicti, in Ignem Aeternum for the first time in a really intense thunderstorm. Talk about an experience!

 

[skeptik]

Funny, that's how I first listened to it as well. In fact, it was the most extreme thunderstorm I'd ever experienced and it was 4 in the morning.

 

[Zephyrus]

I listened to it for the 20th or so time last night and I still discovered new things. Amazing album.

Agreed.

 

[Lord Kur]

its ok but averse sefira is better

 

[Tonka Time]

its ok but averse sefira is better

imo an ok band, just doesnt really have any hooks in it for me and comes off as nothing really special.

 

[Lord Kur]

you gotta listen to them while reading the lyrics. no hooks is your problem. you are insane

 

[Tonka Time]

Ill give that a try.

Edit: what would you recomend album/songwise?

 

[Eligos]

Tetragrammatical Astygmata, hands down. It's a masterpiece.

And for the song, Helix in Audience.

 

[Eligos]

So I'm listening to Semargl's Attack on God, and it's far superior to their later releases on terms of... well, everything. Especially vocals. And the bass is gasmic.

 

[no country for old wainds]

mainstream women are worthless but theres a pretty good underground scene mostly focused around ukraine, they've got a bit of a nazi thing going on though unfortunately
