Black Metal.

Edit: Wonder what shipping's like from CO on those...hm.

If I'm not mistaken the price includes shipping for US purchases. I'll place an order for them plus the Nifelheim re-issues by NWN! this weekend.

 

[The Ozzman]

I'd like to find out more about Swedish 2nd wave black metal, I think I would really like some of it, also current non 2nd wave bands would be fine reccomendations as well, as most of you know, I'm mainly a Dark Funeral, Marduk, and Lord Belial fan from that region.

NAGLFAR - VITTRA

That album is incredible.

 

[Vilden]

Naglfar is a poor mans Dissection/Dawn/Sacramentum though, while totally ok nothing essential.

 

[The Ozzman]

Haven't heard any of those, though

 

[Vilden]

You haven't heard Dissection?! wtf? Check it out NOW if you like Naglfar.

 

[The Ozzman]

You haven't heard Dissection?! wtf? Check it out NOW if you like Naglfar.

Yeah, I'm still a black metal newb. I'm getting there.

 

[Zephyrus]

Diabolical is Naglfar's best, IMO, but none of their discography comes close to The Somberlain or Storm of the Light's Bane.

 

[~Derek~]

I liked what I heard from Naglfar's Harvest but wasnt into the Dissection Zephyrus sent me.

 

[sevag00]

Listen to Marduk's last two albums. I'm sure you'll enjoy both of them. Also listen to Funeral Mist's Salvation album.

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

Dissection is the shit.

One ov my first black metal bands.

 

[Blind Guardian]

I´ve seen both Naglfar and Dissection live and i´d have to say Naglfar outrocked Dissection. They cant beat them with their songmaterial though.

 

[MasterOLightning]

Dissection is meh.

 

[Koude Haat]

just listened to

Very good split album. I liked the Nokturnal Mortum track on this the best. (should mention that the NK track is a recorded version of Kolyada)

 

[Carcassian]

I like Dissection, but other than a really icy tone, they never struck me as particularly black metal in the 2nd wave sense.

 

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

Oh cool, that split came out...gotta get it!

 

[cookiecutter]

I used to like Naglfar because they were so catchy, but they've faded in my eyes. I'm not a big fan of the Swedish style.

 

[Alter]

I have set up an interview with my blog with a certain black metal member of a certain French black metal band. I think you all will be happy to hear who it is soon.


In other news, the one band that I have never checked out is Negură Bunget. Are they worth Alter's time?

 

[Carcassian]

Terrorizer think so.

Mind you, they (in)famously gave a Mithras album a 10/10 review.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

the last mithras? average album. clearly not a 10/10

As seen as we seem to have similar tastes, at least in some areas, I'd say that they are. I'd suggest starting with either their latest, Om, or their previous full-length, 'n Crugu Bradului, personally. One can't go wrong with either release, really.
