Black Metal.

Picked up a copy of The Sham Mirrors. It's not really black metal, but damn it's awesome. ICS can fucking sing.

Dude... the drummer from Absu is prolly the best black metal drummer ever. Tell me i'm wrong.

ICS Vortex doesn't even appear on that album.

You're right.

Maybe it's one of those albums that takes 20 listens to appreciate it i dunno. I tried it a few times and couldn't digest it.

Garm probably sang on The Sham Mirrors then. Zephyrus would know.

 

[Omni]

So would anyone who actually read the album credits. Not to mention that he sounds nothing like Vortex.

It's pretty much the only good thing Maniac appears on. Attila is definitely one of the top vocalists in the entire genre, however, so I'd say he's definitely the best Mayhem ever had.

Ordo Ad Chao is a really good album. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes Attila and De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas.

I liked what I heard off Ordo Ad Chao despite me not liking Attila's vocals.

TSM is an amazing album, regardless of what genre it's existing in.

This!

It was one of my first extreme metal albums, and it clicked right away.

The Shame Mirrors by Arcturus? That guy can fucking sing for sure.

Yeah that album is just...odd. I don't know, I guess it's one of those pieces of music you have to be in a certain mood to listen to. Then again, I haven't heard anything from it or Arcturus in many years so my opinion of it these days could be a bit different.

 

[JGMetalhead]

Well i'm not really into Arcturus and I don't consider them black metal.

Woops. That was stupid (on my part).

 

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

It's their best album. Really almost perfect. Radical Cut is the weakest song.

 

[Einherjar86]

I've been really digging it. Solid fucking album.

 

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

I absolutely love the part where Garm says "we go with you, via wormholes...wormholes...wormholes" etc. Funny and incredibly good.

 

[Einherjar86]

I just love the atmosphere. It has this technical, futuristic (almost sci-fi) vibe, but with a dark edge. It's like space gothic, or something. Really just unique songwriting.

 

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

It's definitely a good example of an avant-garde approach to doing things in metal. I've never heard any "space odyssey" stuff done quite like that.

Aspera Hiems Symphonia is Black Metal, and I highly recommend it.
