Black Metal.

[dwellerINTHEdark]

I haven't heard Blood and Valour yet but I really liked the other one.

 

[The Butt]

That Hermitage track rules. Gonna check out the rest of it.

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

Darkspace or Paysage d'Hiver? Both are super similar, yet go for a totally different atmosphere. If I had to choose I'd go with Darkspace myself.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

Paysage d'Hiver. I've never got into Darkspace, though I've tried them out numerous times.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Darkspace fan here. Holy shit that is some amazing stuff, but, like Paysage, it's pretty difficult to listen to unless you are really feeling it.

 

[EspaDa]

I love Paysage d'Hiver's self titled but if there was no Welt aus Eis, the rest of the album is pretty repetitive and tedious a bit.

 

[tagradh]

Das Tor, Kristall & Isa, Winterkalte > Darkspace II, III > most other stuff by both bands > the overly cheesy bits of Darkspace.

 

[Krow]

So the mailman had my copy of Themes pour la Rebellion today. Will listen to it tonight even though Forteresse is an Autumn/Winter band for me for the most part. I'm sure it'll be great, all their albums are.

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

How's the new Coldworld, live up to its predecessor?

 

[Internally Deformed]

Kvlt.

 

[Draehl]

Solid symphonic BM. Some bad bits and some great bits. Quite the mixed bag, but worth a listen.

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

That description sounds like I really don't need to hear it. Too much mediocrity out there.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

Yeah, you expect me to listen to an entire album based on lukewarm praise? Ain't nobody got time for that!

 

[Draehl]

That description sounds like I really don't need to hear it. Too much mediocrity out there.

Fair enough, but go listen to Havukruunu tho if you haven't already!

 

[Internally Deformed]

Speaking of symphonic BM, these guys seem better than most:

 

[Vilden]

The Nightspectral Voyage is awsome. Haven't heard anything else though.

Nokturnal Mortum is obviously the best symphonic bm band.

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

Symphonic black? Limbonic Art The Moon in the Scorpio. Sirius Aeons of Magick. Odium The Sad Realm of the Stars. Obtained Enslavement Witchcraft. There's a few solid ones.

 

[MasterOLightning]

It's been like, 20 years, and I'm still waiting to hear an above-average guitar riff in a Limbonic Art song.

 

[Yerfdaug]

Mandatory Aeternus post of the month: as I've said plenty before, those first two albums need a fucking vinyl reissue. Holy shit please and thank you.
And sure this is the black metal thread and all, but on this same issue, so does Left Hand Path. How is such a classic so unavailable? Especially since so many older classics are seeing 180gram reissues every month

On that album you must surrender yourself to the keyboard. Guitars have a minimal presence. Such a good album, regardless.
