Black Metal.

[Draehl]

I recently stumbled upon this band. I was searching for metal in the vein of Darkspace, The Ruins of Beverast, Deathspell Omega and the like. It's very good.

Absolutely. It was in my top 10 list from last year. And that album art too...

 

[Draehl]

Need to check it out- supposed to be more ambient bm, but love the look of the art. Astral Path - An Oath To The Void

 

[EchoForever]

anyone listen to Trist?
this album as been in my backlog for a while and im just wondering what im gonna get into

 

[EspaDa]

I used to listen to Trist's Zrcadleni melancholie, great atmosphere there but vocals seemed to ruin it.

 

[Onder]

Different Trist.

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

Dat cover art is dope.

 

[EchoForever]

Yeah there's two different Trist's, the one I'm talking about is the German one

and yeah the cover art is sick

 

[Metalhead O' Bacon]

Yes, the genre is good in general but not the biggest favourite of mine. Though, I really dig Immortal and Dimmu Borgir.

 

[EchoForever]

I've never accepted either Dimmu Borgir or Immortal as actual black metal

 

[Metalhead O' Bacon]

I've never accepted either Dimmu Borgir or Immortal as actual black metal

Yeah, they're more industrial, death and symphonic. Though, Gehenna is also a good band.

Immortal isn't black metal? Give me a fucking break. Even claiming early Dimmu Borgir isn't black metal is laughable, but Immortal?!?!

Yeah I know Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism is one of the classic holocaust metal albums. The ignorant fucks that call it black metal are so irritating.

 

[EspaDa]

so what do you accept as black metal? deafheaven?

 

[crimsonfloyd]

Pure Holocaust is a definitive black metal album. Holocaust metal is likr dark metal, a psuedo-genre.

 

[Vilden]

You don't say?

 

[Krow]

Saying Immortal isnt black metal is definitely a new one to me. I've at least seen people say it (incorrectly) about Dimmu Borgir for years. DB is waaaay more black metal than a lot of shit that passes these days.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i think it's safe to assume this dude has only heard the later incarnations of both bands, in which case who really cares

 

[Draehl]

Now that we hopefully got all that out of our system I'm going to repost this awesome shit on this new page. Give 'er a listen! It's like a faster-more-aggressive-shorter-song-OranssiPazuzu

 

[Krow]

Will definitely have to check that out then. Felt a bit underwhelmed by the new Oranssi Pazuzu... I usually like their blend of spacey 70s stuff and black metal.

 

[Draehl]

This isn't quite so spacey in the atmosphere so much as the odd chord progressions and production reminding me of them.
