Varg dropped some videos this week on his old songs. Definitely worth a watch.

 

[Draehl]

varg got old, especially after he cut his hair...

 

[Funerary_Doom]

That was awesome. As much as a douche he is, doesn't make Hvis Lyset Tar Oss any less of a masterpiece.

Man I haven't listened to Obtained Enslavement in a long time… I'll have to throw that on at some point tonight.

I'm currently searching for more atmospheric BM. Came across this band Kladovest and man they ooze atmosphere. Also, i think one of the members of Drudkh is in this band

Great band. Atmospheres is a brilliant record.

The new album Winterwards was released not long ago. Slightly more progressive than their previous releases, but great work nevertheless.

Thurios (Drudkh) was present on previous releases, but not this one. Not that it matters - Dmitriy K.'s vocals are awesome too.

some good depressive BM

Here's an unreleased Leviathan song from 2002 or so that includes a memorable Lurker of Chalice section (Minions, sped up). It features similar guitar sweeps to the ones that Deathspell Omega was using years later.



The Tenth Sublevel of Suicide demo is almost entirely different than the proper release. I think one song appears on both. It has more in common with Lurker of Chalice and the Tentacles of Whorror album. The unreleased parts are pretty high quality. Non-fans aren't going to swayed, but anyone who enjoys early Leviathan will be into this.

Darkspace IV

 

[ProphetofHatred]

Another song from it

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Darkspace 4.20? Smoke weed with the cosmic Satan while the eternal void sucks our souls away. Transmission Initiated. Countdown to Hash Haze starting...now!

 

[unknown]

yes! this new Darkspace kicks fucking ass

 

[KafkaX]

Streaming the New Darkspace now...I think this is the first time Ive ever given this band a full and proper listen.

First thing that came to mind was a drum machine? Really? But, so far it works. Ill see how I feel about it after Im done with the album.

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

Drum machines have been integral to many a great band. They are full of awesome.

 

[KafkaX]

Yeah I know one my favorite bands uses a drum machine, but they aren't black metal. Not something I see paying off in Black Metal...I mean I can only think of summoning being the only exception...But I really liked that Darkspace album. Gonna check more into them.

Blut Aus Nord also uses a drum machine, and they're fantastic

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Can you blame Darkspace for using a drum machine? Just fucking listen to those songs. No human can blast that long.

 

[Funerary_Doom]

Loving the new Darkspace album so far. I really don't know of a band that sounds similar to them except maybe Paysage D'Hiver on their earlier material. Also the production is better but doesn't take away from their sound, which is a plus.

Apparently that's debatable around these parts but I'm with you man.

 

[KafkaX]

Not at all. Just caught me off guard, especially in the beginning of that particular album because it had a little bit of an electronic sound to it...But like I said, it worked with them.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Darkspace is part ambient black metal, part industrial groove, and part black hole electronic music.
