Black Metal.

[Krigloch the Furious]

I'm surprised at the scores people have been giving Watain. I think they're a solid band and have enjoyed every album.

I just recently got a Watain Cd. quite solid indeed.
I heard the new one wasnt very good though

deathspell omega is pretty good darkthrone worship

it also seems like you (and possibly Necuratul) and I have very different ideas about what makes a black metal band good.

 

[Evil?]

Have you heard SMRC?

 

[ohiogrinder]

Have you heard SMRC?

You talkin to me?

you mean Si Monumentus? not in its entirety, maybe a song or two.

 

[Evil?]

I was.

It was a reaction to saying they were Darkthrone worship. Their first couple albums were more basic but SMRC is pretty unique.

From the clips I've heard sounds promising to me. I'm waiting for the release.

 

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

SMRC is in no way Darkthrone worship. The early stuff isn't even really...to an extent I guess. One of Mikko's other projects, Clandestine Blaze, is ACTUALLY pretty OK Darkthrone worship/ripoff.

Also all Watain is very good.

so can someone tell me why 1349 is so disliked here? i've never really heard much from them.

oh and deathspell omega is fucking amazing. SMRC is the best post 2000 BM album imo.

I dislike 1349 because there's no character, there's just a bunch of gratuitous, endless rounds of blastbeats. I don't care for blastbeats in general unless they're used tastefully, and 1349 certainly doesn't accomplish that.

Wholeheartedly agreed.

I do love a good blastbeat, but they seem forced in a lot of newer black metal.

 

[unknown]

Yeah I just read this. Not fucking happy! I was really looking forward to a new Ved Buens Ende album.

me too...I'm waiting for the official statement from the band

 

[Hubster]

Well I have say that I love 1349

So is Kenose, and again on their latest material (one song on the Crushing The Holy Trinity compilation).. Fuck comparing Deathspell to Darkthrone garbage.

 

[skeptik]

You don't know shit about Darkthrone.

And 1349 sucks.

I'm surprised and disappointed in you.

understandable. I do sometimes like em though.

 

[~Derek~]

I like Darkthrone and 1349, Darkthrone more though.

Darkthrone owns you and DSO.

 

[Hubster]

Deathspell Omega ftw

 

[Under The Oak]

I'm not surprised to see Deathspell Omega rated so highly, but giving Watain 6s and 7s? The first two were excellent, come on...

I agree. Personally I like blast beats and feel they certainly have there purpose but some bands do it way too much... Marduk for example. 1349 are just another meh black metal band to me. Not AWFUL but not at all interesting. Now a good example of tasteful blast beats in black metal would be the first two Dissection albums.
