Black Metal.

[Slayed Necros]

Covenant's In Times Before the Light is good symphonic black metal, Nexus Polaris is fairly shit.

Ophthalamia's first two albums are great.

I received the new beherit today in the mail. It's not that great tbh, it's overproduced and sounds like any modern black metal release. I woudn't say the album is horrible but, i doubt this is something i will want to keep listening to.

 

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

Like I said, I liked what I heard. I think it probably is something that warrants trying actively to get into. It's obvious Holocausto wasn't going to make another DDTM. The production is heavy, but I don't think it's "overproduced" at all and I also think he would disagree about that w/ you.

I find Burzum rip offs to be the most enjoyable of black metal clone bands.

So do I and I like what I've listened to so far from Verdunkeln.

Opinions on Covenant's first two albums ? And Opthalamia ?

If you're into industrial BM then the re-recording of In Times Before the Light is worth your time.

Oh shit. This is a horrible time for me to be hanging onto my money and not buying any music.

Opthalamia is excellent during their first couple releases. After that, they got pretty boring and average sounding.

Stronghold and Minas Morgul. I can't play favorites between. "Lugburz" is their greatest song.

I've really enjoyed that Lugburz song lately, I heard a song off the album Lugburz and it had a low fi raw feel to it.

Looks like Nocturno Culto and Sarke from Tulus and Khold have a new band together that is named, well, Sarke(?). They even are playing live.

Indie Recordings has announced the signing of SARKE, the Norwegian band featuring Sarke (KHOLD, TULUS, OLD MAN’S CHILD, SENSA ANIMA) and Nocturno Culto (DARKTHRONE).SARKE might sound like a new name, and in fact it is, but this grim story has more pages than one first might think.Formed in 2008 by its namesake Sarke, who has spread his angry art through KHOLD, TULUS, OLD MAN’S CHILD and SENSA ANIMA, SARKE is a mesmerizing journey through dark and soothing soundscapes, inspired by legends like MAYHEM, SLAYER, DARKTHRONE, CELTIC FROST, BLACK SABBATH, CANDLEMASS, DEATH, MOTÖRHEAD and KREATOR. For this musical quest, Sarke wanted to create music that has inspired him since he got into the extreme metal scene, and thus Nocturno Culto from the mighty DARKTHRONE was brought on board, making the core of the project complete. All music and lyrics are written by Sarke, but adding Nocturno’s legendary voice to these songs, has without a doubt added another dimension to the grimness. The debut album, “Vorunah”, was recorded in November, and even though the album was recorded in old-fashioned ’70s style to get the true vibe of the music, “Vorunah” was produced by Sarke with Lars-Erik Westby.

Looks cool.

Been spinning Negative Plane's Et In Saecula Saeculorum a fair bit lately. Excellent stuff. Orgasmic even. Those vocals especially...

 

[sevag00]

Can anyone post a list of 2009 BM albums released so far that are worth checking out? Since i been away for awhile and haven't payed attention to music.

Yes sir! One of the best current bands.

It's definitely one of my favorite albums because it sounds totally different from the rest of Summoning's catalog.

 

[Koude Haat]

been enjoying the latest Legion Of Doom album. Good stuff.

Check out the new albums from Austere, Absu, Blut Aus Nord and I Shalt Become.

Culto is the MAN

He definitely is.

The project, band, or whatever it is sounds great. I don't see people mentioning Khold in here, but I like the band. Sounds like a promising album, I'll check it out.
