Black Metal.

[Slayed Necros]

I'm a huge fan of early Absurd (Facta Loquntuur, Asgardsrei), but they were a completely different band then with a completely different line-up. I haven't heard the split in question - although I really want to, mostly for the Sigrblot material - but I imagine it's fairly similar to their other recent works. Blutgericht isn't bad, and would probably interest you.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Are any of you fans of Absurd(Ger)? I'm listening to this split with them, GBK and Sigrblot and like what I heard. What else is worth hearing?

I'm a fan of their older material, but its probably very far from what you're looking for. Other than its idealogy and agression it really hard to consider it metal at all. The music itself is much more punky than metal and the whole attitude behind is more punk than minimalist. (flame me if you will). I've never bothered looking past Facta Lwhateverthefuckitis

What are the best Abigor albums i should check out?

This is probably one of the only occassions i can think of where a side project kicks the shit out of the main band,namely SUMMONING

 

[Vilden]

Wtf? Summoning is one of the best bands in the world. Abigor is totally not so good on the other hand.

 

[Zephyrus]

That's what he meant.

 

[Vilden]

Ah ok my bad, but I wouldn't call Summoning a side project?

 

[sevag00]

I didn't know Summoning was a side project of Abigor.

 

[divine_torture]

Neither did I. But Summoning is better regardless.

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

I didn't know Summoning was a side project of Abigor.

It is not. The only member who's involved in both bands is Silenius, and we all know he left Abigor a long time ago. He started Summoning as a completely separate entity of Abigor.

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

Guys, i've been meaning to check Limbonic Art out but i'm not willing to take any chances. Are they worth checking out? if so, what's the best place to start?

 

[skeptik]

Anybody who doesn't like both Abigor and Summoning is a faggot anyway.

 

[Cythraul]

I would like Summoning if they didn't sound like the soundtrack to some 16-bit RPG.

 

[Vilden]

1. They don't anymore

2. 16-Bit RPG soundtracks rules anyway!

 

[Manic Ferocity]

.

I actually do think Summoning is slightly overrated.

 

[Zephyrus]

There isn't a single lackluster Summoning release.

Guys, i've been meaning to check Limbonic Art out but i'm not willing to take any chances. Are they worth checking out? if so, what's the best place to start?

Their first three albums are all excellent. Start with Moon in the Scorpio if you like atmosphere, In Abhorrence Dementia if you want more symphonic bombast, and Ad Noctum: Dynasty of Death if you like it heavy with subtle industrial influences.

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

Excelent, thanks!

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

as I've said before. Hellveto > Summoning
Abigor =

I listened to a bunch of Nordreich lastnight. stuff rules!

 

[Zephyrus]

as I've said before. Hellveto > Summoning
:

No.

 

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

Hellveto is pretty darned good though.

 

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

I've never really seen later Summoning as very metal anyway, though. Just because it has guitars that are played in tremolo with distortion makes it hard to make a case that it even is metal anymore. I mean, yeah, moreso than other epic neoclassical stuff in some shallow ways, but, really...
