Black Metal.

[Bitencourt29]

Culto is the MAN

He definitely is.

The project, band, or whatever it is sounds great. I don't see people mentioning Khold in here, but I like the band. Sounds like a promising album, I'll check it out.

 

[(((0)))]

Khold is average, but they ever get much discussion anywhere, though.

 

[sevag00]

Check out the new albums from Austere, Absu, Blut Aus Nord and I Shalt Become.

Will do. Any others?

 

[whiskey funeral]

So far, those are the only new black metal albums I've heard.

Har Shatan, Xasthur, Peste Noire, Faustcoven

Can anyone post a list of 2009 BM albums released so far that are worth checking out? Since i been away for awhile and haven't payed attention to music.

Beherit
Archgoat
Teitanblood (Black/Death)

Order of the Ebon Hand's A Mystic Path to the Netherworld is definitely one of the most underrated black metal albums. I wish that I had checked it out a couple of years ago when I first heard of the band. Check it out if you like Nocternity.

Order of the Ebon Hand

I've always wanted to check this band out... tbh, I've wanted to ever since I was first getting into metal 5 years ago... mainly because they're apparently a M:TG inspired band.

 

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

yeah

 

[The Butt]

yeah

Yeah, that's pretty kickass.

 

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

It ain't bad.

Anyone know of any drone-ish, hazy black metal à la Velvet Cacoon? And please, do not tell me any suicidal bands; that stuff is terrible.

 

[Episteme]

Closest I'd probably say Gris or Wolves in the Throne Room, but they're bands that you probably know of already.

Speaking of Suicidal Black Metal I've been listening to Shining's V Halmstad quite alot lately. It's really good.

I'm thinking you'd like Vuotare. Not really similar to Velvet Cacoon but they are dronish and hazy black/doom...from what I can remember.

Oh and try I Shalt Become if you haven't already.

 

[cookiecutter]

Alter try Trist(Cz) if you haven't. I think you'd like it. Listen to the song Sneni especially.

 

[whiskey funeral]

Wait...(((0))) is Alter? I didn't know this.

Also, I second I Shalt Become. I really cannot get enough of the new one recently.

I will be checking out Vuotare. I'll take it that I start on the full-length?

Yeah, I really dig the first album from I Shalt Become. Though, that is all I have heard from him.

Alter try Trist(Cz) if you haven't. I think you'd like it. Listen to the song Sneni especially.

I have been wanting to check out Trist for a while. What album do I start on? They aren't like most suicidal bands, right?

Yes, I am Alter.

What is the new one like? Similar to the first record?

 

[whiskey funeral]

The production on the new I Shalt Become is cleaner than his previous efforts. It's also a bit more melodic but he hasn't strayed too far away from his standard style. Also, there were only a couple hundred copies printed and at this point in time it's really hard to obtain so your best bet is to download, which you can do from my blog.

Trist is certainly a suicidal black metal band, but in my opinion he is the best of the genre and his music is far from typical. I'd recommend starting with Stiny because it's his most accessible and most available. If you have no qualms about downloading I'd recommend getting the Trist/Korium split, Zircadleni Melancholie and Neni Cesty Zpet. If you need download links I can send them to you.

I feel that I like I Shalt Become more then I should. But they are really good at what they do. Wanderings is awesome.
