My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Cool Murmurs track. I'm going to have to check them out. Darkestrah is awesome, and really liked that song. New album sounds promising.
Nice! I'm glad someone else likes Murmurs. I've heard some of their demos but still need to check out the full-length- sounds good from the song you posted. You should also check out Disa's solo project Turdus Merula (either of the full lengths). It's similar but more atmospheric. The songwriting and arrangements are at times excellent.
Empyrium? Do you mean Emperor?
Empyrium - while interesting, excellent and progressive - are from Germany.
Other bands that might fit the bill are Solefald, Borknagar, Arcturus, Fleurety, Winds, Ved Buens Ende, Kvist, Manes or Dødheimsgard. All are Norwegian 90's bands that are challenging the traditional Norwegian Black metal music with a more progressive approach.
The Deafheaven really surprised me. The debut was pretty good, but nothing special. Sunbather on the other hand, is loaded with memorable moments and tons of energy. Really looking forward to giving this more listens.
