Black Metal.

[Lord Kur]

umj, huh? im kinda thinking about microcosmos

how could you be dissapointed with it? it rules

almost perfect blend of folk and black

im listening to it right now and theres no way you can be dissapointed

it delivers everything even remotely expected and more

you either didnt ever listen to it ot your expectations are absurd. estrangement is awesome

 

[Lord Kur]

ok ive been listening to it and estrangement is an incredible album

my god its emotional and powerful, the prod is tinty but i assume micro will be even better. i can't imagine how anyone could think estrangement is in any way a letdown or bad

give it a listen. its fucking great

 

[Omni]

I think we can all safely agree that Mayhem are made of awesome.

Well, some of their music. The rest is pretty terrible.

 

[cookiecutter]

actually xasthur is more like number 2

i cant fathom why people aren't talking about it more. its a fantastic album.

I have a feeling it's because of the limited tape release. Personally I would prefer to buy new Xasthur material but I don't own a tape player. I've downloaded it but I haven't gotten around to listening to it.

 

[Vossyrus]

Well, some of their music. The rest is pretty terrible.

I completely agree. I enjoy some Mayhem but I think most of their stuff is just awful.

You should have joined this board a few years earlier.

Not really.

Oh, and not sure if somebody has posted it here, so I'll do it:

DRUDKH
Upcoming release: "Microcosmos" (CD Digipak and limited box set)
Release date: June 22nd, US July 14th

On the very same dates, Ukrainian black metallers DRUDKH's upcoming album "Microcosmos" will be available through Season of Mist's Underground Activists division. On this seventh album since acclaimed debut "Forgotten Legends" (2003), DRUDKH capture the precious essence of sadness and the deep melancholy of Ukrainian music in their brand of Slavonic Heathen Metal. A classy, very limited box set edition of "Microcosmos" will be available on Season of Mist's e-shop.

Astrofaes is good but, I'll be honest, Idea. Form. Essence. was really pretty fucking bad.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Yeah, seriously. Astrofaes used to be fairly popular around here. Ancestors' Shadows is pretty good, and I have Dying Emotions Domain around here somewhere. Haven't listened to either in years.

 

[MasterOLightning]

I had one of their albums, and it was sort of bad.

 

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

Dying Emotions Domain, Ancestor's Shadows, and The Attraction: Heavens and Earth demo are all high quality.

 

[MasterOLightning]

Ok, it was The Eyes of the Beast. With there being so many Drudkh and Hate Forest albums that are better, I'm not in a hurry to go back and check those Astrofaes albums out unless they're pretty different.

 

[flyingvman191]

I completely agree. I enjoy some Mayhem but I think most of their stuff is just awful.

Grand Decleration Of war for example, is awful

 

[(((0)))]

also striborg because if you listen to percieving the world with hate you can tell the pentemple/sunoooo influences. makes a world of difference

A new Striborg record is out?

I have a feeling it's because of the limited tape release. Personally I would prefer to buy new Xasthur material but I don't own a tape player. I've downloaded it but I haven't gotten around to listening to it.

You should listen to it soon considering it is one of his best ever.

Never heard that.

 

[unknown]

anybody listened to Hjarnidaudi? I checked out their myspace and enjoyed the clips they had up...was wondering if the album was a good listen

 

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

Yeah, his newest was good, only listened once though.

 

[~Derek~]

I like all of Mayhem's material but the older stuff is the best.

 

[whiskey funeral]

I cannot stress this enough: Ordo Ad Chao is one beast of an album.

 

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

That it is. Quite scary, suffocating atmosphere.
