Black Metal.

[Mort Divine]

Someone does not like that album? That is truly a masterpiece of a record. Dueil Angoisseus is one of the finest black metal songs ever wrote.

I was glad to find The Lorraine Rehearsal on LP in a record store once.

It is pretty lame as far as I'm concerned.

...and your video sig is any better.

Well obviously, the entire aim of Johnny McGovern is to have fun and be a ... well comedian. Which he does quite well.

Peste Noire just utterly fails at making good music.

 

[skeptik]

Any opinions on Vitsaus?

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Is it just me or does Darkthrone's To Walk the Infernal Fields sound like a blatant rip-off of Bathory's Enter the Eternal Fire? Not that it's not an awesome song but the similarities are way too huge to not notice.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Yeah. It definitely seems like somewhat of a tribute to what's probably the best Black Metal song ever recorded.

I really think you should try giving it another listen. You're missing out on an incredible album as things are.

 

[ShredHeadJHJ]

God damn, I need to check out Peste Noir. I'm still meaning to get around to it. I hope they're like one of those bands that has something truly unique to offer.

 

[Slayed Necros]

They're not...

 

[Hubster]

^ Agreed, but they still fucking kick ass.

haven't seen any, but Fen's a fucking awesome band

Damn straight. Signing to Code666 is the best thing that could've happened.

Someone mentioned Locus Mortis - Voust in this thread, but can't seem to find the message to quote.

Anywho, its a great album if you are into more straightforward Orthodox Black Metal, one of my favorite from that vein from this year, including Mortuus, Glorior Belli, and Obscuras Advocum.

I personally think that Peste Noire is a great band, but haven't heard anything past La Sanie De Siecles. And I just really like the solos and emotion that is expressed by the music. Its just really raw but well written in my opinion....

One of the bet black metal band in the past few years. Amazing stuff. Really amazing.

very true. Code666 is a damn fine label

 

[Zephyrus]

Nachtmystium fans take note! I found another band playing "psychedelic black metal", and it's fucking awesome.

Verdunkeln, from Germany.

Nobody is allowed to refer to stupid fucking bands like Glorior Belli, Ondskapt, Malign, and the like, as "Orthodox Black Metal" from now on. That term is to be used exclusively for Countess, the originator of the term, to avoid confusion. God damn trends.

 

[Mort Divine]

Anti-trendiness is pretty trendy.

 

[skeptik]

I'm not being anti-trend, I'm just expressing annoyance on a trend that has usurped the phrase used by a band a decade earlier which now retroactive suffers from the false association. Orthodox Black Metal is not this gay Worship Him Satanism bullshit.

Well, if you don't like people referring to those bands as Orthodox Black Metal, just ignore it. And wether you like it or not, this label does avoid confusion. Thats exactly why I use this term, it has nothing to do with being in a trend. It can be used to refer to a certain group of Black Metal bands.

And so what if the label is that is used now has nothing to do with a bands certain sound? Stop moaning.

 

[cookiecutter]

In what way does it avoid confusion? It is a rather meaningless term that refers to two different things

Im just saying, its a useful term because whenever you are talking about any band that is considered "orthodox black metal", they can be reminded of which bands are in that label.
