Black Metal.

[Zephyrus]

Listened to To the Gates of Blaphemous Fire Last Night, fresh out of the package. I couldn't wait to listen to it after the claims of its similarities to Anthems. Indeed I was quite satisfied, and some parts were giving me that rare feeling that many parts of Anthems give me.

It's a great album. It's like Anthems crossed with Hunger of Elements and Panzer Division Marduk. Not as technical as Emperor, effective atmospheric synths, and gratuitous blast-beats.

A+

What I have heard is standard funeral doom, so yeah he is wrong himself.

I am not too familiar with Funeral Doom but I can definitely hear black metal in Nortt

I've never been able to get into traditional black metal. It's just not my cup of tea; but I really do like some more melodic/avant-garde black metal bands. If anyone here has any suggestions for some good bands, please recommend them. To give some perspecive, I enjoy Primordial, Amorphis, Bathory (viking-era), and I've only recently gotten into Borknagar (I like what I've heard though). If anyone has any suggestions, they would be appreciated!

Nope, never heard of this band.

Heilig Vuur is a phenomenal album. It's about as simplistic as Black Metal can possibly get, actually. And yes, it is one of his better albums, up there with The Return Of The Horned One, Ad Maiorem Sathanae Gloriam, and Blazing Flames Of War.

[Rabid Headbanger]

[zoidberg]

[Rabid Headbanger]
