Black Metal.

Honest opinions on this? [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-Dyaoq_oSA&index=85&list=PLfiiLzUrOLTawfWfCKYy1T_Bo0L7P2oqV&shuffle=23[/ame]

Definitely shitty enough to be something you would listen to.

Most people around here hate Deafheaven, but I think they're interesting. Not great, but not bad... worthy of an occasional listen.

They're extremely over hyped by non-metal media outlets though. It's basically Black Metal for hipsters.

 

[UltimateApathy]

Yeah, that's what I've heard too, "Black metal for hipsters," but I think that's mainly because they make their album covers pink and look like two guys from the Village People, however I think the actual music is an interesting mix of Black Metal and Shoegaze/Stoner to be worthy of numerous listens.

This is actually the first time I listened to Deafheaven and only on laptop speakers, but that's not too bad for hipsters, really. I myself don't need this kind of music though, I'd rather listen to Krallice or something. One hipster bm album that interests me is the latest album of Jute Gyte with the microtonal stuff. It's excellent imo.

Deafheaven isn't bad. Not great but not bad.

 

[Nephilim96]

Krallice is excellent, and anybody who disagrees is Gay. G.A.Y... GAY!

 

[The Butt]

I actually don't really like Krallice. Too techy for me.

 

[Nephilim96]

GAY

NO U

I like that Deafheaven album a lot, but I like a lot of hipster black metal.

Also went and listened to DDtM and Beherit and Wyrms' most recent album and liked all that a lot.

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

Deafheaven is good, but I'm never too drawn in or impressed when listening to them. I'd be curious to hear their follow-up album.

 

[Eligos]

Tombs, Krallice, Altar of Plagues, and Bosse de Nage are where it's at for hipster BM. Jute Gyte and all of the Gnawtheirtongues solo projects are right up there as well.

Nothing else comes close.

I'm not too big on Krallice but Nick is a nice guy, so I sometimes go see them and hangout.

Deafhaven is very uninteresting to me. Too blast-beaty and I can't hear the riffs at all. Can't stand when everything is too muddled together.

 

[The Butt]

I love blast-beaty stuff.

When I met Nick McMasters for the first time, he was sitting cross-legged on the cement in front of stage right at MDF, waiting for Melechesh to show up. We just kinda shot the shit for 5 minutes or so. He's really laid back. The guys in Nazxul were chill too.

Juxtapose that with Watain and their entourage that year, looking back, I can see why my tastes changed the way they did afterward.

Hey UA, you'll probably like these guys.

Well, it sounds decent, would probably need a few more listens to get into it more though. What do you think of this:

Nazxul's Iconoclast is first class.

Don't know where to put this, but probably here.

You guys know spanish Proclamation finished after the four AMEN albums. Now here's their new project, Sacrificio. It's not only Blasphemy worship, but pretty much old-school black metal filthy revamp. They put out a demo already. People say the sound's stupid because there's drums and bass in the left channel and guitars/vocals on the right but yeah. Maybe that's going to change on the full-length that's in preparation.

So apparently the Ildjarn songs on this split aren't even Ildjarn songs, they are Nidhogg's songs from 1994 re-recorded by someone. That adds some mystique.
