Black Metal.

hails, seeing as the faggots closed my own promotional thread, here some new sammath tracks

I just discovered The Great Old Ones. I know this isn't everyone's favorite style, but those who dig the whole "post-black" thing going on should probably check them out:

 

[Mort Divine]

I don't get how people can call Marrow of the Spirit an innovative album when it essentially does nothing other than redo what they did previously on past albums. It is good, but definitely not innovative.

+1, and I would add, it's forgettable too.

 

[skeptik]

It's not innovative, but it's also far from derivative of their own previous works. That's a nonsensical claim. I've never seen anybody claim that it's innovative.

It also took me far longer to appreciate it than any of Agalloch's other albums.

 

[Krow]

I'm liking the new Secrets of the Moon.

I immediately connected with Marrow of the Spirit. It's my favorite album of theirs and I think it's more consistent than Ashes Against the Grain.

 

[Thralldom]

I haven't been able to listen to Agalloch and enjoy them. It saddens me.

Nothing in Agalloch's back catalog sounds like "Black Lake Nidstag" or "To Drown".

I agree. While I liked Ashes Against the Grain, Marrow of the Spirit speaks volumes to me. Though it took me some time, I was able to connect to this release as deeply as I was Pale Folklore and Pursuit of the Sun and Allure of the Earth (Woods of Ypres), which I cannot say about many albums. The Mantle is probably my most frequently listened and favorite of Agalloch. I like all of their work. I really liked the song they contributed to the Oak Folk compilation.



I've been listening to this a bit recently.

 

[Hubster]

Hekel is an awesome and underrated band. A shame he's produced very little material aside from "De Dodenvaart". Insane vocals.

 

[damnromulans]

I was not aware of Hekel until right now. This is great!

 

[JontRevolting]

Pseudogod are fucking intense and completely spew forth the kind of venom and rage I look for in BM.

I agree. My friend introduced them to me. I have been going through a lot of music new to me lately. If I find anything else worth mentioning, I'll definitely post.

 

[Mulver]

Could anyone list a few albums from this year or last that is worth listening to? I've only heard like Mgla (pure quality) and Burzum this year lol.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

This was yesterday. I assume most of you don't even like Averse Sefira because you all suck and stuff but...

That is horrible news. But I'm glad they decided to end it instead of putting out some half-assed bologna. Their entire catalog is unbelievable.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Yeah. It also makes that I saw them during one of their last handful of shows in Texas that much more awesome.

Did you take that video?
