Black Metal.

Engram is not just good, it's great, and I would suggest that you spend your money on it.

This. Its brilliance becomes more and more obvious with repeated listens and closer observation.

I've always been a poser, I don't care what people think of my image, honestly. It's pissed off a couple of my bandmates when I've shown up to practice and the occasional show looking "less than metal". Lately I haven't really been out to impress anyone, and I'm growing incredibly tired of elitism in metal. It's counterproductive, in my opinion.

I really think that what was said was badly misconstrued and certainly wasn't intended to make friends or be PC, but whatever, there's no use in dragging this out more. The band has a history of making polarizing comments. I certainly would contest that elitism is counterproductive though.

on the topic of Darkthrone, anybody know why Fenriz plays all the instruments on Panzerfaust and Transilvanian Hunger? I mean I know Zephyrous left after Under a Funeral Moon...I don't know...it just confuses me a bit

We could talk about Sear Bliss.

Sear Bliss might just be the best band on Candlelight. Their incorporation of real brass as well as synthesizers and the various guitar effects they use really add depth to the music.

More talk about Sear Bliss, less faggot bitching. Thanks.

I only own Glory and Perdition, but it's great. I love it when a band can concoct a perfect mixture of melody and brutality. It's an epic record.

 

[Eligos]

You're a fan, Tara?

@Einherjar: The transition from "Reverie" to "Night Journey" is pure brilliance.

 

[Skepticism]

Ok, so where would be a good place to start with Sear Bliss?

 

[Eligos]

HOW ABOUT RIGHT HERE?!?!?!?!



Seriously though I'd recommend Glory and Perdition

Yes! I love the segue tracks on that album ("Reverie" and "Ode to a Dying Star"). They are gorgeous, and so atmospheric. Sear Bliss has such a unique sound; the horn sections work so well with the black metal musicality, but their less extreme, melodic interludes are amazing. They complement each other very well.

I've really only ever heard Grand Destiny, and my favorite song on it would be "Arx Idolatriae"...awesome song.

Alright, I'll definitely check this out. Beherit is a new fascination with me, as I was for many years obligated by Norwegian black metal law to dislike them.

 

[black blood]

I know I'm late on the whole Averse Sefira discussion ...but I remember seeing them live last year and they were really boring, most people were talking amongst themselves not paying attention. At the end of their set their frontman shouted "fuck you posers". Then the guys from Sadistic Intent came on and tore up the place.

anyways go on, as you were

Where do I start with Sigh?

 

[Skepticism]

Has anyone heard the rerecorded/reissue of Errances Oniriques? I'm almost afraid to listen to it because I don't see how it could possibly top the original.

Their only one I own is The Arcane Odyssey, and it's pretty good. Never listened to their other albums, though.

"walk the satanic way" is the most stupid black metal song name ever.

It really depends on your taste. Every album is different.

 

[Einherjar86]

Speaking of Asian black metal bands, does anyone here listen to Chthonic, and are they any good?

Not even black metal if you ask moi.

 

[Einherjar86]

Thanks for the replies guys. Metal Archives labels them as "melodic black metal;" but then again, they also used to call Stormlord that.
