Black Metal.

[whiskey funeral]

Verwüstung / Invoke the Dark Age and Opus IV are the only other two Abigor albums you need. The latter might be their best.

Verwüstung / Invoke the Dark Age is probably my favorite. I liked Fractal Possession when it first came out but the novelty wore off very quickly.

Which Abigor albums are worth listening to? I've heard Orkblut - The Retaliation and Nachthymnen Nachthymnen (From the Twilight Kingdom) and liked both of those and want albums that are of similar style/quality to these ones. I know that Fractal Possession sucks based on the few songs I've heard, so what's the latest material by them that's worth hearing?

everything up to and including channeling the quintessence of satan, and just stop. please.

First great album of 2009 so far is...

Blut aus Nord - Memoria Vetusta II: Dialogue With The Stars

There's something magical about this album.

It's a lot better than i thought it would be.

Yeah...but Seance begs to differ also.

Did you hear Tribulation yet? That seance album rules but.. tribulation.......................................

 

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

I haven't listened enough, but I like the Seance album a lot, really well written.

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

I do have to agree with everyone here, Dialogue With The Stars is a very solid album. Anyone know any reliable distro where I can pre-order it? just checked in redstream and they don't have it.

Hello everyone!

I'm a metal fan that also like my shair of black metal, though I'm more into the whole "depressive and suicidal" of it.

Some bands that I like:

Deathspell Omega
Emperor
Burzum
Shining
Forgotten Tomb
Nyktalgia
Thy Light
Sterbend
Bethlehem

and so on....

 

[~Derek~]

You must be pretty deep into the genre considering the last few bands you named.

Well, kinda... but I've just been sticking with the "suicidal" bands.
The other more aggressive bands like Gorgoroth and 1349 don't really do it for me.
Yet groups like Negura Bunget are really something else, very interesting.

I'm willing to learn more of course.

What about the new Absu album?

 

[challenge_everything]

Just listening to Memoria Vetusta II for the first time and I'm immediately impressed.

 

[Caecius]

Rhapsody just added all the Borknagar albums online

What happened to the release of the new one? I thought it was to be released 1/31/09, now I see it at December 09.

 

[Day_Before_Dawn]

Also just finished my first run through of Memoria Vetusta II and I must say its incredible. I think they have actually surpassed TWWTG which from my perspective is not something easily achieved.

Hello. That's also the side of black metal I tend to like. Have you heard Wedard?

 

[Alter]

What about the new Absu album?

I have not heard it yet tbh but I will soon. Though, I am not a huge Absu fan. I'll report back soon.

Nah, not quite.

 

[Omni]

The first two Blut aus Nord albums are the best ones anyway.

 

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

TWWTG > both of the first two imo, but they're all 90+ albums so it's nitpicking really. The new one is pretty much in that realm too.

They've reached the kind of status whereby they take their sweet precious time and do video diaries and other crap every time they do anything relevant to studio work.
