Lifelover review up at my bloggified.

 

[challenge_everything]

Antaeus are nothing special, but yeah they are still better than 1349 and Dark Funeral.

 

[Bitencourt29]

Antaeus is exceptional...but not even close to being better than Absu.

Indeed, not even close.

Absu is a lot better.

1349 and Dark Funeral are crappy BM bands imo.

 

[Hail The Wizard!]

AHHH SHIT IM SORRY I MEANT VELVET CACOON!

I like Pale Cacoon better

 

[divine_torture]

I've never heard Pale Cacoon.

I've never heard Pale Cacoon.

:Smug:

 

[divine_torture]

Are they worthwhile in any form?

 

[MasterOLightning]

What?

Anyway, I'm excited about listening to the new Krallice a ton. I wrote about it in the other thread. I think I'll like it, but it won't top the first one.

 

[Hail The Wizard!]

White Tomb by Altar of Plagues, Loss by Wodensthrone, Black Cascade by Wolves in the Throne Room, S/T by Misere Luminis and The Malediction Fields by Fen are some of the best of 2009 so far

 

[Hail The Wizard!]

Oh and of course the new Lifelover

You just named all the most boring black metal releases of the year, actually.

Well, with the exception of Miserere Luminis, though that's still far from the top.

Sombres Forêts and Gris are still better and more distinctive on their own.

We all have our opinions. Yeah they are better on their own, but if you like them you might as well buy Miserere Luminis.

Well, have you not heard the new albums from Katharsis, Arckanum, Peste Noire, Tenebrae in Perpetuum, Drudkh, The Ruins of Beverast, Diamatregon, etc...? Hell, even the new Beherit is (okay, in my opinion) better than most of those. Just saying it looks like you've listed the most popular handful of black metal releases of the year (skipping too-obvious stuff like Immortal and Gorgoroth).

Here, this is my somewhat arbitrary ranking of releases this year:

[Hail The Wizard!]

Yeah ive heard all of them except tenebrae in perpetuum and the ruins of beverast. Drudkh's microcosmos is good. I've got but haven't listened to diamatregon's crossroad yet. But to be honest I prefer what i listed, I prefer my black metal to be ambient.
Like I said, we all have our opinions.

Wolves in the Throne Room — Black Cascade
Immortal — All Shall Fall
Beherit — Engram
Graveland — Spears of Heaven
Absu — Absu
Nazxul — Iconoclast
One Master — The Quiet Eye of Eternity
Acrimonious — Purulence
Fluisterwoud — Laat Alle Hoop Varen
Lifelover — Dekadens EP

wait, so you make fun of him for listing WITTR and Lifelover and tell him he's a step away from throwing in Immortal too then tell him Beherit's new release is better than all of those, yet it's all ranked in the same category on your little blog thingy there.

 

[Addo_Of_Nex]

Engram is one of the top 5 black metal albums of the decade; easily the best album of 2009.
