Black Metal.

[Contra dk]

Defective Epitaph was in my opinion brilliant, but my favourite is still To Violate the Oblivious.

 

[Ekinflog]

Didn't like Xasthur's latest 2 albums, but I will give this one a shot. But I have to say, Telepathic With the Deceased is the his best imo.

 

[divine_torture]

I don't dislike any of his work tbh. Telepathic and To Violate are tied for best imo though.

 

[SweptbackFlame]

Anyone here like Abgott?

I'm finally listening to the new Blut Aus Nord. So far, I love it. I will be picking this one up very soon.

 

[Zephyrus]

Will be a great year for Black Metal if any albums top it.

 

[(((0)))]

I am hoping for a slew of new releases myself. Considering that besides Blut Aus Nord and Absu, there has been very few good albums out thus far. The new Ash Pool EP is intense and makes me look forward to the possibility of a new record from them.

Also Zeph, have you heard Diapsiquir? You might dig their industrial sound.

 

[Zephyrus]

I heard Diapsiquir and it's rubbish.

 

[S<issors]

I second the affection for the new Amesouers

So what Enslaved demo is better, Hordanes Land or Yggdrasil?

 

[Slayed Necros]

Hordanes Land, and it's an EP.

 

[Belligerent]

Hordanes Land

 

[Koude Haat]

Hordanes Land is great, i recently got the vinyl reissue.

 

[MasterOLightning]

Duh, of course.

On the topic of Enslaved, I finally had my first Enslaved experience yesterday. Bought 'Isa', and fuck, I'm pissed I've put them off for so long. Such a fantastic album. Which would be the best choice to get next?

 

[Hubster]

Good man. You've found a great band to latch onto.

In order, imo:

(New Enslaved)
- Below the Lights
- Ruun
- Vertebrae
- Monumension

(Old Enslaved)
- Eld
- Blodhemn
- Mardraum
- Vikingligr Veldi
- Frost

 

[Hubster]

Wow, of all places, the NY Times has an article about Enslaved. 2 years old, but still, worth a read.

 

[A1a23]

nice

What's the order btw, top to bottom meaning best to worst? I plan on getting Eld next time I order CD's because I have no Enslaved.

 

[Omni]

If that list is from best to worst, Vikingligr Veldi is definitely in the wrong place.
