Black Metal.

Speaking of synths, has anyone heard of Kataxu? Hunger of Elements is a superb symphonic/atmospheric BM album.

Dark Forest is excellent atmospheric bm, I have the album Aurora Borealis and it pwns.

Fucking awesome album indeed.

Kataxu is pretty good, but I'm not a big fan of that style.

 

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

You would probably like early Kataxu, Jenn.

I've heard both of a full-lengths. Maybe I should listen to them again.

 

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

Possibly. Download his demo from me.

Did you get the new server Soulseek yet?

even better live

Jenn: no.

 

[rms]

I'm pretty sure he wants the latter, judging by the bands he named in his post.

more atmospheric/ambient(but not entirely--Alatyr is probably the most atmospheric that I listen to but theyre good) some can use synths and be amazing, like Windir or not like any other bands, but I didnt see that in any of ur bands Zeph, sure I myspaced songs off their albums but if they didnt have it other wouldnt I'd bet on

 

[cookiecutter]

I listened to Hunger of Elements once and I thought it was decent once I stopped trying to listen to the guitars and just listened to the synths.

 

[skeptik]

I've only heard Roots Thunder. I disliked it for years, but I finally played it again I think some time this past winter and enjoyed it a fair bit. I think I'll play it after The Red In The Sky Is Ours if I remember.

 

[Unsanctum]

i've had a few good black metal bands on recently - nightbringer, sombres forets, wolves in the throne room, deathspell omega, manticore

 

[SkiesAtOurFeet]

Any thoughts on Katharsis? Listening to a few tracks on last.fm and they aren't too bad. Might pick up 'VVorldVVithoutEnd' but wanted to get a general impression of how well their music holds up.

 

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

VVorldVVithoutEnd is excellent fucked-up Darkthrone style black metal with raucous vocals and twisted "upside-down" sounding riff structures. GREAT lyrics too...awesome album, highly recommended!

I can't do much except agree with this. It's a really great example of fast and chaotic black metal that truly sounds quite fucked up.

KROOOOOOOOSSSS FIYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

 

[Alter]

Its intense. I have not grown to like as much as others but it is worth picking up. I am gonna listen to it now!

 

[~Derek~]

Has anyone else here heard The Funeral Pyre? I've heard them on XM Radio, they seem to be playing them a lot, but I like them. I see they're on Lamb of God's old label Prosthetic Records too.

 

[Alter]

:Smug:

But no, The Funeral Pyre suck.

 

[Cynical]

Katharsis- VVVVE is absolutely wicked, as is Kruzifixxxion. Avoid 666, unless you just really need another sub-par "Bathory intepreted through the lens of Under a Funeral Moon" album.

On a side note, I'm listening to Ruins of Beverast now- how the FUCK does a band this dull and tedious get this much hype?
