Black Metal.

[Alter]

It is folkish black metal. Not that great though.

 

[~Derek~]

I like what I heard from Storm, especially Oppi Fjellet.
I heard a Darkthrone song called Sacrificing to The God of Doubt, last night, it wasn;t their best song but I enjoyed it, what album is that off of?

 

[MasterOLightning]

It's from Sardonic Wrath. You should get their first four black metal albums first.

 

[Hubster]

^ The rest are Black Metal as well you twat. Stop being a typical "first four only" wanker.

 

[Slayed Necros]

I don't think MoL was in any way implying that their other albums aren't black metal, rather that the first four are quite easily the best.

 

[Episteme]

I know I'm a little late for this but I finally got Mgla's Groza. It's not bad, I think it'll grow on me with a few more listens.

 

[MasterOLightning]

Yeah, I was trying to avoid confusion regarding Soulside Journey, which may not appeal to fans of Darkthrone's other stuff.

Groza is good. It's not real long and it could have been more concise. But the few riffs on the album are of pretty high quality. I still think the best thing the band did was Crushing The Holy Trinity.

Apologies dude.

just listening to a few preview songs from Samael "Illumination"
the new stuff sounds great

 

[Tonka Time]

My question is why should it matter what a band's philosophy is? I happen to like the MUSIC put forth by these bands, and the whole intellectual/mystical facade is a novelty that I think looks cooler than typical RAWR-DEATH-BURNCHURCHES-KILL-RAWR images that much of other extreme metal embraces.

this.

Does it sound anything like Blood Ritual? If not, I won't bother checking it out.

 

[Zephyrus]

It's like Passage but more extreme.

I have Transilvanian Hunger. I'll probably get Under a Funeral Moon as the next thing I get from them. Though Sardonic Wrath probably has the best songs off the later stuff.
Also does anyone here like Troll? I do, Drep De Kristne has some good stuff on it, I'll certainly be buying it in the future.

Wow you guys need to check your black metal history 101, how is Funeral Mist trendster since they created the whole orthodox genre? These guys were already doing that style back in 1996 and recorded Salvation in 2001. Name me another band playing orthodox black metal back in 2001? pretty much none! except ofermod who did only 2 songs in their career, so they're not jumping any bandwagon, they're riding it.

Fail? fail at being themselve (or himself) for 13 years? Where do you think Glorior Belli, Deathspell Omega, Watain, Merrimack, Katharsis, Antaeus, Arkhon Infaustus, Ondskapt, Heresi, Corpus Christii, Arkha Sva, Behexen and Newer Marduk took their inspiration from? from a guy named Arioch.

Like Cynical already pointed out, Salvation is basically a hybrid of what Ofermod and Antaeus were doing years before when Funeral Mist's music was very different from the style of music that's usually referred to as orthodox black metal.

Also, you've apparently never heard of Belfagor's band before Ofermod, which was called Nefandus. Nefandus has religious Satanic lyrics and the music was the beginning of what would be continued and expanded upon in Ofermod and later bands. Funeral Mist didn't invent anything, except maybe making the style of music trendy.

The biggest band in that style of black metal, Deathspell Omega, sounds a lot more like Ofermod and Malign. Malign is Belfagor's other band after Nefandus, that was clearly orthodox in style and lyrical content, complete with the prayer sections that Funeral Mist and other bands would copy later. Deathspell Omega even paid tribute to Malign by reworking the guitar part of Malign's "Ashes and Bloodstench" into "Malign Paradigm" on Si Monumentum Requires, Circumspice.

Basically, Belfagor was a lot more influential on this kind of music than Arioch, who was obviously influenced by Belfagor. Stop your ignorant hero worship.

So is the film 'Black Metal: A Documentary' any good? I'm waiting for it to arrive and hopin it doesn't blow.

I've read mixed reviews of this. Haven't seen it myself so I don't know what to tell you. Hopefully it doesn't suck. Did you order this or was it actually available on Netflix?

Do you have A Blaze in the Northern Sky?

 

[Mort Divine]

So I'm sitting here listening to the new Blut Aus Nord and holy hell, this is absolutely not what I was expecting. AOTY perhaps? At least as far as black metal is concerned unless Primordial releases something new.

 

[sadistik necrofiend]

I threw on De Mysterious Dom Sathanas this morning in the car on the way to work. A total sick album for a cold dark morning of delerium.

I know, the more I listen to it, the more I come to the same view. I've already decided it's better than Memoria Vetusta I.
