Black Metal.

Didn't Transilvanian Hunger also influence that part of black metal to a great extent? I'm not saying Burzum didn't but as far as "atmospheric" goes, that album sort of fits the bill. Especially for its time.

Not to anywhere near the same extent.

 

[tagradh]

Psht. It's massively influential.

 

[Internally Deformed]

Early Darkthrone was more influential to raw bm than ambient/atmospheric bm, although obviously there are some ambient/atmospheric elements to it.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

Another reason I brought up Transilvanian Hunger was Varg's involvement with it. So, perhaps he expanded further on ideas he had with that album.

 

[Internally Deformed]

I don't think Varg wrote any of the actual music for that album, although I could be wrong.

 

[Phylactery]

He didn't. He wrote the lyrics for the final 4 tracks.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

He didn't. He wrote the lyrics for the final 4 tracks.

They were pretty bizarre as well. It's called TRANSILVANIAN HUNGER, Varg. I know you want to go back to that time and be the shrimpiest hipster viking who ever lived but for fuck's sake, at least get with the theme.

 

[The Butt]

Psht. It's massively influential.

What ID said. It was more influential to the raw/lo-fi movement of black metal than to actual ambient black metal.

 

[Internally Deformed]

Fuck yeah.

 

[Krow]

Darkthrone is better than Burzum. But that's just me.

This is truth.

Speaking of Darkthrone, here's the cover art for their upcoming release Arctic Thunder. Supposedly it will be more serious and primitive compared to their recent efforts.

I eagerly await. Darkthrone can do no wrong imo.

 

[CiG]

more serious

?

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

That's what the band said...

 

[CiG]

Oh, okay I didn't see that. Interesting, I wonder what they mean...

 

[Krow]

Ugh I dread what they mean tbh.

 

[CiG]

@H.P. Lovecraft must be rubbing his hands together with glee.

 

[The Butt]

They probably mean it's a bit less sloppy and a bit more like their older stuff. Not that this is a bad thing, I like nearly every Darkthrone album.

 

[Internally Deformed]

I think it means that Nocturno Culto wrote most of the album and Fenriz isn't allowed to add any operatic embellishments.

 

[EchoForever]

couldnt find anything about the band he was talking about
