Sigh - Scorn Defeat

Anyone who wants some essential second wave black metal should def. check this one out.

I have a soft spot for Sigh in general. Yep,great album . It may sound perentious to a rigid BM fan, though.

I stumbled across an interesting Series of videos on YouTube today. It is a documentary or news report program about the early stages of BM and primarily Varg and the media reaction and is a decent watch. There are of course some inconsistencies and contradictions, but that is to be expected. Some interviews with Varg himself are included. It was however disappointing that when Varg started to discuss his murder of Euronymous, they cut him off.

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Part 4

Part 5

Ah yes, "Satan Rides The Media". The doco is more about criticism of the Bergens Tidende newspaper (or rather the media in general) and how they blew the whole thing out of proportion.

The entire film is available here (you must register if you haven't already).

Varg's reaction to the film is here.

Also, another Black Metal documentary by NRK (a music show in NOR).

Note: I'm not dead sure of the health of these, but I have them all from some time back anyway, they should be okay...

I don't think so, I haven't heard anything past Infidel Art though.

Well they've been getting quirkier and farther from BM with each release, and have evolved into a strange amalgamation of styles. Party metal, I suppose.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Party metal, I suppose.

Hmmmm....
They apparently have a release (Hangman's Hymn) due out this year so I may pick it up.

 

[skeptik]

Rob Urbinati (Sacrifice) did a solo on it. Sacrifice is writing new material btw.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

About time I guess.

Love the Limbonic Art song they play at the 8:30 mark on Part 1.

Until this I was actually going to watch it.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Arckanum are pretty peculiar. They sound "psychoticly". And the whole sound is kind of raw and "degraded". I think it's one of the BM bands that not everyone can get into.

Fran Marder is great.

 

[~Neurotica]

^ I should check it out then, i've got only "Trulen".

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

never even heard of Arckanum

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Neither have I

Ah, the demo released just prior to Fran Marder. A couple of tracks from it are featured on the debut full-length, so I've no doubt that you'd like it. Kostogher and Kampen are also worth listening to, but the debut is probably Arckanum's peak.

 

[~Neurotica]

Yet, I've found only their EP 'Boka Vm Kaos' (2002). But I'll try to search for more. Thank you, Malignance.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

anyone know of Necrofeast? http://metal-archives.com/band.php?id=11675

Part 1 was good of Satan Rides The Media.

 

[~Derek~]

I just watched the whole movie of Satan Rides The Movie, very interesting but it was centered too much around Burzum and Mayhem and not Emperor or Darkthrone and other Norwegian BM bands at the time.

Kinda like that Lords of Chaos book.

Agreed.

It is funny how when they are showing images of his flat and revealing all of his "evil" paraphernalia, they are just pulling a bunch of old Castle RavenLoft D&D books off of the shelf. There was even a RavenLoft poster on the wall.
Varg sure loved his D&D. He talks about briefly on Burzum.org and even signed that reaction article you posted as Varg "The Bugbear" Vikernes.
