Black Metal.

I didn't know about it either. The samples sound pretty killer. I'm looking forward to hearing the whole thing.

 

[RedinTheSky]

This

Is excellent.

 

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

Yes it is.

I'm surprise you're not bashing them for being norsecore and/or generic.

 

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

Isn't that something you'd do? You're a weird motherfucker.

 

[Mikko666]

Jeez, did you ever leave your computer?

I only call bands generic when they actually are. Beherit clearly isn't generic, and they're also definitely not norsecore.

I'm sorry that you're still upset that most people here realize that Funeral Mist is just an orthodox trend-hopping band that relies way too much on generic blasting and vocal effects, so you can stop crying anytime that you want.

Excuse me for being uninformed... but what the hell is norsecore? Viking themed metalcore?

Blasturbatory Black Metal a la 1349.

 

[wandering_taco]

What do people not like 1349?

 

[MasterOLightning]

Not really so much, no.

 

[RedinTheSky]

Not really so much, no.

So... what don't you like about them ?

 

[challenge_everything]

Everything. What is there TO like about them?

 

[challenge_everything]

Yeah it's pretty good. My one criticism is that it feels a little disjointed and I find myself listening to Just For a Moment and This Dreadful Emptiness more than the other tracks.

Yeah I'll agree with that. Plus it's a little light on content. Kind of like Filosofem, if you take out 20 minutes of ambient stuff, you're got a very short BM album and left yearning for more.

We'd be full of shit if we were to suggest we were not taken aback by seeing a picture of Xasthur in the New York Times a few weeks ago...and then it only got weirder when we realized the pic of main member Malefic was due to the singer/songwriter Ryan Adams plugging Xasthur as one of his current playlist favorites. AND THEN it got even weirder when we saw that Mariah Carey AND Metallica AND Jay Z were plugged in the same breath. Guess you could say Mr Adams has a rather broad spectrum of tastes on his music listening pallette...had he plugged Jamiroquai, Mark would probably be writing the guy love letters right about now.

We had heard a rumor that Adams had given Xasthur a shout out at an LA based performance a year or so ago, but we figured it had to be a myth. But then it dawned on us after reading this NYTimes piece that, perhaps, Mr. Adams was truly on board...the way he describes Xasthur still give us a tad bit of a chuckle, but you can't deny he really does seem to love it...

"Whoever the guy is, he’s amazing. My listening tastes are absolutely not in tune with the kind of music I make. The music that interests me is a bit weirder. “Defective Epitaph” (Hydra Head) has really far-out guitars; it’s not really lyrical. When I close my eyes and listen, I think of a heartbroken demon sitting beside these ashes in hell and really missing his girlfriend. It’s like romantic death metal. The aggressiveness of his guitar riffs can be quite brutal. It’s not for the faint of heart, but it’s really clever. His flow is so authentically black metal; he knows how to make it orchestral and gothic. I don’t know all the rules to metal, but he seems to kind of be above them. I think now he has a drummer — who’s not technically bad, because it’s speed metal, but the timing isn’t exactly perfect. It comes off as charming, because you can tell what the ideas are, like indie rock. They’re on top of their game."

that's odd.

so I'm listening to the new Peste Noire after the rave reviews it's been getting here. It's definitely something interesting and different from standard black metal fare...gonna have to give it some more time to see if I remain interested in it

Ryan Adams is a huge metalhead. I've seen photos of him wearing Death and Venom t-shirts.

 

[cookiecutter]

Interesting how he called Xasthur death metal, black metal, and speed metal (wtf) in one paragraph. Still pretty cool.
