Black Metal.

Has anyone checked out Grave Desecrator? Pretty good black/thrash

Yeah, I have their newest release and it's pretty killer. Not very original, but solid none the less.

 

[Belligerent]

Hm. That sucks. I'm not sure if I'll even download it.

Same here. Satyricon should call it quits.

 

[Mikko666]

Sorry to tell you but it's like Now, Diabolical part II. I'm halfway done the album, and so far it's not doing much for me.

Edit: In fact, it's quite a dull release. It's maybe got a bit of a raw edge to it compared to Now, Diabolical, and the production values are good but a pretty meh album.

I wonder why they keep releasing the two Volcano bonus tracks on every albums, they've released them 3 times now?
I'm talking about Live Through Me and Existential Fear-Questions.

I'm not quite into Manifestations 2002 as much as I expected to. I had the notion it would sound more like SMRC than it actually does.

That's because DSO only discovered Funeral Mist after recording Manifestations 2002.

 

[Omni]

Funeral Mist isn't the only band who made music that sounds like it could have inspired Deathspell Omega to create the style of music they do now, nor are they the first. There's also definitely influences from Mikko Aspa's perspective, because some of the noisier parts sound like his work outside of black metal, along with bands like Gorguts and Blut aus Nord.

They're signed to Roadrunner remember, that's why!

Yes. I don't mind it. Probably my favorite song on there, too, along with the title track. I do have a moment like that though which sort of makes me lulz from time to time...the part in 'Cicatrices' where he goes, "whaaa huh huhhh!" in this voice that makes me think of the genie in that Ducktales movie. It's from 3:30-3:33.

Incredible album too.

Veux-tu Danser is probably my favourite song of all time.

What do the Stiny Plamenu fans here think of the Dive Into The Waste Water demo comp? So far I disappointed by it. Ve špíně je pravda is pretty awesome and I expected a bit more from the demos. I am only 5 tracks in so maybe it will get more interesting.

haven't heard it, but if it's by Stiny Plamenu, I'm sure it's good

That plus "Le Gala des Gens Heureux"

 

[divine_torture]

Today's my first encounter with Judas Iscariot. Got "Distant In Solitary Night" used for 8 bucks. Really good stuff. Sucks I haven't heard them sooner.

 

[Evil?]

I always liked it tbh. A bit heavier guitar tone and more riff-oriented. Rany Cernym Kovem is his best though.

I ended up liking more after actually listening to the whole thing. The difference in sound caught me off guard at first and there is definitely some cool stuff on the disc.

Np: Morrigan-Plague, Waste and Death.

Nice.

Casus Luciferi is back in print for those who want to buy it. Head over to the Aquarius Records website.

 

[skeptik]

I've really come to appreciate Watain more lately, especially Casus Luciferi. I've still yet to hear the latest one, though I'm already prepared for a sharp decline in quality based on everything I've heard about it.

I don't know if I'd say it was a sharp decline with Sworn. Certainly was a bit of a decline, but I think it's still a solid release.

Casus Luciferi is their best release thus far though.

Sworn to the Dark is more accessible, but in the same way that Storm of the Light's Bane is compared to The Somberlain.

 

[whiskey funeral]

Negura Bunget is amazing. I like 'N Crugu Bradului better, but they're both incredible records.

I finally went ahead and downloaded this. Listening to it now and I must say, it's pretty amazing so far.

 

[~Neurotica]

Ceasuri Rele track from Om is not really a song, but it's a damn masterpiece.

 

[unknown]

that and Cunoaşterea Tăcută are my favorite tracks. absolutely moving

Duplicate post from np:

Everyone who is into good Black Metal should pick this up. It is fucking brilliant. One of my favorite Black Metal albums I have heard recently. The atmosphere is top notch. Very eerie. It sounds like it was recorded in some sort of creepy cellar or something.
