Black Metal.

Man I took that recommendation from MalignParadigm about Nox Intempesta and downloaded Damnanus Dominum to check them out. This is some ace shit.

I did that same a while ago, duly impressed. Killer!

This is solid old-school death metal - the kind that doesn't stray too far from the thrash ideals that make death metal worth listening to in the first place.

Heh, yeah...right from there, that just screams "PLEASE TAKE ME OFF MOD STATUS AND DON'T ACCEPT ANY OF MY REVIEWS." Just shows you how ridiculous the site is.

i thought everyone knew ultraboris sucks

there are plenty of decent reviewers at MA though

The only problem with the site is that they accept substandard reviews, but this is pretty much outweighed by them not being label sponsored. Meaning they post more "tell it like it is" type reviews. Though most suffer from the same problem as the average CD review site, in that they're of the "this is what it sounds like and therefore it sucks/rules" variety. If I want to know what something sounds like I'll listen to it myself.

 

[fates warning 666]

they actually reject a lot of the worst reviews, but yeah their standards should be higher

 

[skeptik]

I really don't even read reviews anymore unless I see that it's by somebody I already trust. I just go by forum recommendations.

Dark Forest, anyone like them?

I'm listening to what they have to offer on myspace, pretty cool stuff.

Dark forest is alright. What do you think about Kvist?

 

[Koude Haat]

Anyone into Nifelheim? their new album is fantastic.

Someone reccomended them to me but I couldn't find a shred of their music anywhere.

I liked what I heard from Kvist on Black Metal Radio.

Yeah, I liked it.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Kvist is fucking overlooked.

 

[KevenZ]

Kvist was great, then after they've changed their name to Urgehal, a crappy & uninspired darkthrone clone.... wow talk about ruining a band.

 

[thisisaformicatable]

I just go by forum recommendations.

I do that, but more in the sense of if a band is discussed to any great extent on this forum it's probably worth avoiding.

I need to find some more interesting black metal akin to Kenose-era Deathspell Omega, TTWTG-era Blut Aus Nord and Two Hunters-era Wolves In The Throne Room.

Kvist's album is some great stuff.

I've been listening to a lot of Morrigan lately. Any recs for anything remotely similar to them would be greatly appreciated.

 

[~Derek~]

I'd like to find more black metal similar to Satyricon, Cradle of Filth Dimmu Borgir, Dark Funeral, and Emperor, but it doesnt seem that easy finding clones of those bands. Obtained Enslavement is a good band though, I'm definitely getting Witchcraft sometime.

UltraBoris

I just went in a read a handfull of his
reviews :Spin: uke: He's fucking annoying & a shame for Metal Heads. 12 year old negative mentalities piss me off. That much negativity is not waranted. He literally has a shitload of reviews & I would say 65% of them are rated under 50% with way too many 0-10%'s... He listens to way too much music that he hates. With me if I hear a bad album or two from a band I usually won't go back to them. He reviews band's whole discographies that he hates. Talk about a biased reviewer. I don't really get this tool. I was really surprised to see that he seems to kind of like Yngiwe though...

Bluewizard - check out Graveworm & Samael if you haven't already.

If people only reviewed albums they liked, then every review on the site would be 90-100%, which would be completely pointless. Anyway, I quite like his reviews, maybe because I have pretty similar taste in metal. I especially like the title of his No More Color review, "MY VAGINA IS OVERRUN BY MONKEYS!!"
