Black Metal.

[CiG]

It's because HHR released it. I feel like you might not like it. I think it's a great album actually but I doubt you'll like it. Very tight and polished album of a band firing on all cylinders, just not very ugly.

Well, the version I'm buying is cassette so if it sucks, it was only 6 bucks down the drain.

 

[CiG]

This rules.

This is more my style of lo-fi. That screechy guitar tone aint there like it too often is...

How does everyone feel about Immortal's debut, Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism? I've heard bits and pieces over the years but could never find a physical copy, I love Pure Holocaust and consider it one of the greatest black metal albums of all time but I don't often see Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism talked about.

Is it bad or just very average? Underrated? Worth dropping $25 to $30 (take currency differences into account, because I know that's expensive in America, but here it's about average) on for a CD?

DFM is easily one of my favorite Immortal releases. I think a lot of folks here would concur it's a worthwhile purchase.

I'm such a penny-pincher these days.

Probably their most Bathory-influenced material. Nothing that is going to blow your mind but definitely worth owning.

It's my second favourite Immortal release, but as others have said, it's got nothing on Pure Holocaust.

Reminds me of Cobalt. I'm looking forward to hearing the full thing when its released. Also, great fucking name.

 

[The Ozzman]

Immortal is my favorite black metal band and I think everything from ATHOW onwards is brilliant but it's worth owning just based on the fact that it's good raw black metal

 

[crimsonfloyd]

AtHoW is the last worthwhile Immortal album. After that, Immortal enter their Hot Topic phase.

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

Best Hot Topic black metal band is Abigail Williams, am I right or what

DFM is great fuck the friendless out-crowd losers

It's pretty cool but I still kinda wish that Necrite was their priority.

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

Never heard of them, I'll check em out.

New split between Blut Aus Nord and Ævangelist. I'm only on the third BAN track. It's ok. More industrial/laid back stuff a la MoRT. Not bad by any means, but rather meandering and unsatisfying.

[tagradh]

It's pretty much what I've been hoping they'd make for the past few years.

Godflesh meets TWWTG through to MoRT with the cool layers, sounds and production of the newer releases. I'm glad it's an EP though. I'd like an album length release of this sorta material to also incorporate some of the more straight up BM from the Liber trilogy and Sect(s).

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

I preferred the Ævangelist side because it was more aggressive but the last BAN track stood out and all four songs did flow very nicely.

Another demo I picked up recently, I was actually surprised by how much I liked this. I think some of you might like this too.
