Black Metal.

dude, when it comes to thrash you're basically in the ozz & dak category. You come around asking for recs and the only thing i see you posting is groove/thrash garbage, don't ever utter the word "thrash" again.

I don't and never have liked groove haha

I remember when rms said "Baroque pushes shitty thrash" or something like that. Pretty weird that someone would be so smug about the taste of others when they themselves are far from being the arbiters of good taste. Unearned superiority complex to say the least.

Baroque has been the gateway for some really good music for me personally.

Yeah he's the culprit. Anything with thrash in the name he posts hahaha

Blue Hummingbird on the Left

A crepusculo negro full length emerges (on Iron bonehead and nwn because crepy negs is an awful label)

Weird band name, sure, but fairly ripping black metal.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Pretty cool Dissection worship on iron bonehead.

good shit. I'm always looking for bands in the same vein as Dissection.

You should give this a shot then. Sounds a lot like Storm of the Light’s Bane and they’re from China.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

... i hate full album links. How about you tell me which songs to check out?

What the fuck. This guy has apparently listened to and rated 535 black metal/at least partly black metal albums from 2018 alone! That’s absurd.

I need to try that Ungfell album again. Didn’t like it as much as their debut, which is pretty reminiscent of early Pest Noire.

I'm skeptical of his list when I've heard more praise of albums in the bottom of his list than only 5 from his top 35.
Zeal and Ardor over new Varathron? (and 500 some albums over the new Varathron? Come on)

 

[CiG]

He included Neckbeard Deathcamp... I mean... he was really scraping the bottom of the barrel to make that list.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i saw this list and approve of his top 2, but a lot of the other shit in there seems dubious. not surprising when you're listening to a billion albums i guess

 

[Phylactery]

The Aorlhac is good, but definitely not a 4.3 in my book and not the second best black metal album from the year for me.

Need to listen to the Lutomysl more - I’m more familiar with some of the earlier stuff.

He also compares Panphage to Windir?! The more obvious reference point for Panphage is Arckanum.

Has anyone heard Spite - Antimoshiach? It’s by one of the members of Horns and Hooves.

 

[no country for old wainds]

yeah it's pretty good, but not horns and hooves good

 

[Krow]

So I just listened to Sanguine Relic's 2018 album, The Essence of Eternity's Despair....and it sucks. Not sure what people get out of that band. They sure push vinyl and cassettes though.

I dunno, what do you think of Morbid Lust? I don’t like it near as much as Consecrate the Marrow. But I haven’t listened to it as much so maybe that’s my problem.

This song fucking kills.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i initially felt the same way but it ended up making 9th on my 2017 list. marrow made my top 5 for the previous year though.

I honestly think if this had a better production job and a superior vocalist it wouldn't be half bad. The production isn't even that raw, it just sounds like the recording equipment was in a different building to where they were playing the songs! Mutiilation-lite or something. But yeah as is, it's pretty bad.

Been revisiting some Black Twilight Circle stuff. That Volahn got quite a few votes in 2014 and I just don't get it. I feel like I should like it as it's full of those kinds of expressive melodies I'm a fan of and the songwriting is quite adventurous. But I dunno, it all sounds like a huge impenetrable and nonsensical cacophony to me. I've only listened to it twice, so perhaps it requires more investment on my part.

I'd rather listen to Arizmenda's Within the Vacuum of Infinity even though it's pretty much all style over substance to these ears, it's a really cool sound. Dark as fuck and like being stuck in an endless vortex of nothingness.

Anything else from this scene I should try?

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

This rules. The keyboards are straight out of an 80's horror movie.

 

[Phylactery]

This is sick. Riffy thrashy black metal from last year.

Entropy Created Consciousness - Impressions of the Morning Star

Weird, creaky, dusty BM with the odd shamanic groove thrown in. Closest thing I can compare to would be that Murmuüre album from 2010.

This track is probably my favourite although its not particularly representative as its the most doomy of the lot
