Black Metal.

[cookiecutter]

Has anyone heard the new album from australian Austere - To Lay Like Old Ashes? Listening to it now, and I'm blown away. If you like depressive black metal then check it out.

Yeah it's pretty good

must be a pretty awesome professor

Yea he is, we borrow each other's cd's a lot. He got me into stuff like Sun O))) and The Ocean. He has all my Gorgoroth cd's right now, and my Decrepit Birth and some other shit, hopefully will get those back today. Right now he let me borrow a whole bunch of shit, October Falls, Black Boned Angel, Khanate, Skepticism, Landmine Marathon, and a couple other things. He has a pretty wide taste in metal.

Thy Light, Gris (Can), Blutklinge, Nyktalgia are all good

I know of Thy Light and Nyktalgia (both fantastic bands). I have not heard Gris and Blutklinge, but I will listen to them now.

Hmm, I've just run into this band from Sweden, Apostasy, that I had never listened to before. It's not really the 'harsh' kind of black metal, but it definitely has some elements. And it's very enjoyable, if you ask me. Really melodic and flowing.

I've heard them on Black Metal Radio, it's good stuff.

A majority of them all since, like, 7th grade. Black Metal was one of the only things I listened to in junior high and my first year in high school. Naturally, I have heard almost all of the ground breaking albums and than some of the more obscure ones. The only things I do not think I have heard is Arcturus and all of Ildjarn releases(I have only heard Ildjarn-Nidhogg and Forest Poetry), so I think I am pretty well-set to say just such a thing to him.

@Derek: Yeah, you got a while to go before you hit most of the classical albums. I would not say Dark Funeral has released a masterpiece or a 'classic' album in regards to the Norwegian time period, assuming we are including Swedish bands like we should.

What are the best 2nd Wave Swedish albums? What albums would be the natural progressions for me to get next? Borknagar's Selftitled, Mayhem's DMDS, and Enslaved's Eld are the BM albums that are on high on my priority list.

 

[Mort Divine]

the best Swedish 2nd wave BM album is Sacramentum's Far Away from the Sun!

Dissection - The Somberlain
Ophthalamia - A Journey In Darkness and Via Dolorosa
Nifelheim - Nifelheim
Arckanum - Fran Marder and Kostogher
Bathory - Blood Fire Death
Setherial - Nord and Lords of the Nightrealm
Beherit - Drawing Down the Moon
Marduk - Those of the Unlight

Those are more the "classic" album and I am sure this list is not complete but is more directed at what you are looking for.

 

[MasterOLightning]

Beherit is Finnish.

 

[Koude Haat]

Anyone like the new Taranis Album?

[Slayed Necros]

the best Swedish 2nd wave BM album is Sacramentum's Far Away from the Sun!

This + the debut albums by Throne of Ahaz, Dawn, Dissection, Vinterland, Arckanum and Sorhin.

 

[(((0)))]

Beherit is Finnish.

Sorry, stupid mistake.

fail

Like I said. For him and not a complete list of the scene. Please add or correct the list if you think more albums would be helpful.

 

[S<issors]

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

that list is just generally whack, Monumension is WAY better than fucking Ruun...

 

[Hubster]

I hope this new thing is not as shitty as Defective Epitaph. That was the weakest Xasthur by miles. I'll probably try and get the vinyl, as long as it's not too expensive. He's still not too far removed from Subliminal Genocide, which ruled.

Fucking seconded. SG is a brilliant album

 

[Hubster]

Ok. Amesoeurs full length. Fucking masterpiece. Best and most original album I've heard for years. I just can't flaw it. Outstanding piece of work.

 

[(((0)))]

Not at all. It's kind of terrible.

 

[General Zaroff]

I was having trouble paying attention to it. Hopefully it clicks. I loved Ruines Humaines.
