Black Metal.

[Thralldom]

Two Hunters and the self-titled demo are fucking ballin' actually.

If you like really typical and generic black metal with occasional female vocals, maybe. They spent too much time trying to sound like Weakling, which is also pretty derivative but much better on a compositional level.

 

[Krow]

Maybe I've missed the discussion, but what's the verdict on the new Blut Aus Nord? I really enjoyed Sects.

You should like The Desanctification then. More of the same... very solid. I actually like it better than Sects. And moar dark trip hop stuff.

Also, anyone want to recommend me some more "orthodox" black metal like Ascension or Blaze of Perdition? (really liked The Heirophant)

Any new bands release a debut, EP, or split recently?

Looking for some younger bands to check out.

Thanks for repeating every half-thought out criticism of the band that you can get from Last.Fm.

 

[Episteme]

Been listening to Dodecahedron, it's pretty good.

I don't even have an account on that site. Wolves said Weakling influenced them (even their logo is a wannabe Weakling logo) and anyone who has heard the two will find it obvious. Both bands are overrated to hell, but Weakling had more compositional and instrumental prowess.

I don't even take the typical route that most critics of Wolves use, which would require me to care about their political views and ideals and whether or not scene kids like them. So your post was the one that was not thought out properly, kiddo.

 

[JontRevolting]

Fuck WITTR,why are they even being mentioned here?

 

[sevag00]

If anyone is interested Enthroned released a new album and it's pretty awesome. Check it out if you like.

 

[The Butt]

Whether or not the WITTR demo and Two Hunters are "typical" or "generic", it's still really nice, good-quality stuff IMO, so whatever.

 

[MasterOLightning]

The new Drudkh song leaked. It doesn't suck. I still doubt I'll buy this cd, but there's a good chance it could be better than Estrangement or Microcosmos.

Maybe this slipped by you. Really cool stuff.

That Drudkh track kicks my ass. Holy shit.

Hell yeah, I'll check it.

 

[Krow]

Was pretty happy to find Dodsengel's first full length Visionary at ajna for <$7. Been looking for a while and it's very worth your time if you liked their latest album.

 

[Bitencourt29]

^ Mirium Occultum's a good album for sure. I'd definitely check their first one.

 

[skeptik]

Yeah, it was reissued toward the end of last year. I did pick it up, but I haven't had a chance to play it yet. I've been too busy trying to tie up all of the loose ends in my reviews for my damn magazine...just a few more weeks of this hopefully. Then I can start listening to 2011 and 2012 albums to review.

 

[unknown]

New Drudkh track sounds good. I'll definitely be checking it out. My only gripe with it is it doesn't have that warm, fuzzy production sound that Forgotten Legends has.

 

[Krow]

So hey guys I want to pick up some Striborg. Any recommendations?

Here are the albums I have readily available if I'd want them:
Autumnal Melancholy

Trepidation

I really like everything Oranssi Pazuzu has put out. Definitely one of the more original bands out there right now.

If you're into experimental/avantgarde metal KAMERA OBSKUR might be something for you. They recently released their debut Bildfänger which is high quality.

Members/ex-members of Lunar Aurora, Nocte Obducta, Mortuus Infradaemoni, Grabnebelfürsten and Agathodaimon created the band.

Absolutely get Spiritual Catharsis, that album is completely fucked and excellent. Mysterious Semblance is a good one if you can find it, and there are some splits worth checking out too (Xasthur, Scurshahor). He has a huge discography and the quality does vary a lot but occasionally he's right on the money.
