Black Metal.

I love Skagos! Definitely more of an Ast fan but that's because I haven't listened to Anarchic as much. Will give it another listen shortly. I also need to check out AFoS' newest record.

 

[Funerary_Doom]

Ast is definitely the shit. Anarchis isn't perfect, but I really enjoyed it. They were trying something a little different for sure. I'm pretty excited on the AFoS stuff. The vinyl is gorgeous, and what I've heard previously from them really enjoyed.

Just found this band while browsing and am pretty blown away. Really cool sound! Not entirely pure BM, but the teenager in me is intrigued since no one knows the members or even where they come from. #kvlt Iron bonehead has some really great releases!

Been really enjoying this classic this weekend. Such a perfect blend of bestiality and majesty.

I fucking worship ImpNaz!
Nice one man, might listen to them now, cheers.

 

[WNxScythe]

I'm really digging some of the French BM posted in the last few pages... what else you guys got?

Nice find! I thought it was nice and weird. I'll need to check out the rest of the album soonish.

I had no idea but there's a band called The Water Witch, and it's a project from a bunch of members of A Forest of Stars. It's like a more aggressive version of AFoS, and it's pretty awesome.



Edit: This shizzle is amazing. Just bought the album for like 13 bucks including shipping from their Bandcamp. Check it:

Wintefylleth 'side project':



Guitarist from Fen:



Everyone from Fen (sadly broken up):

^ Really liked that Nine Covens track man. More anger than you'd find with Winterfylleth. Video wasn't horrible either.

Virophage was all right. A little rawer version of Fen but ultimately that track didn't stand out to me.

I'm somewhat familiar with Skaldic Curse. That performance was entertaining enough, I should look into them again.

And to the dude who wants more French bm: Peste Noire, Peste Noire, Peste Noire.

 

[MasterOLightning]

Don't forget SVEST from France.

Their album Urfaust is raw and chaotic, quite a bit different than the song above, but a similar sense of melody. Catchy as hell.

Well, first, if you like your black metal raw and obscure, you need to check out some of the Les Legiones Noires releases. While there's a lot of junk under the LLN moniker, the following acts/records are killer.

Mutiilation (check out Remains of a Ruined, Cursed and Dead Soul, and Vampires of Black Imperial Blood)



Belketre (check out their split with Vlad Tepes)



Brenoritvrezorkre, one of the most (sonically) obscure acts you'll find.

Beyond LLN, there are so many great acts.

Seigneur Voland:



NKVD (militant industrial black metal):



SVEST:



Mortifera



There's also Peste Noire, Deathspell Omega, Blut Aus Nord, Aosoth, etc. but I assume you are familiar with their output. if not, Deathspell Omega is the best thing to happen to black metal since the 2nd wave.

wow, that DsO track sucked

other than Hirilorn and Belenos, France fails to impress me.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

The best BM comes from US.

Probably one of the best black metal albums out there. Good call. Very much chaotic in a Katharsis sort of way.

 

[CiG]

Australia isn't bad for Black Metal.

New DSO is a pretty black and white proposition: you love it or hate it. Every track off Fas and Paracletus is a 10/10 in my eyes.

 

[KafkaX]

Paracletus is actually my fav DSO album.

Can't wait to check out the rest of that list

Nah. I just think it's pretty good. I still haven't checked out their pre-SMRC material. I've heard mixed things.

 

[J.]

ive only heard smrc and kenose. hardly the revolutionary band a lot claim them to be.

Though Hirilorn is evidence enough that the guys can play stellar black metal. unfortunately they chose the wrong path

 

[crimsonfloyd]

Nobody created something comperable to Fas or Paracletus prior to DSO. You may not enjoy it, but it is indeed revolutionary.

Hirilorn was indeed awesome. Better output than anything I've heard from DSO thus far.
