Black Metal.

[whiskey funeral]

Krallice are awesome! They are supposed to be releasing a new album this year, right? I thought I read something along those lines in this particular thread.

 

[Eligos]

I read a bunch of reviews of Enthroned albums a couple nights ago, particularly XES Haereticum and Tetra Karcist. My best friend and I have always loved their music but it seems that the black metal community as a collective does not enjoy their tunes very much.

Wolves in the Throne Room sounds just okay to me. Not terrible but not that good either.

Took down my BM band list, because it was obnoxiously long. I still have it, though, so if you wanna see it, send me a PM.

 

[Koude Haat]

what the shit

 

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

nice a list of death

 

[lastxreign]

nice a list of death

Thanks...

I can't wait for the next Burzum album. It's gonna be fanfuckintastic.

 

[cookiecutter]

Mostly good list although there are some terrible bands on there.

Indeed, I had heard as much from some of the guys in the band, so I think it's a solid bet. You can never be positive with so many labels lacking the capital to print albums, but they seem like enough sure sales to warrant a prompt release. I'm still giving this album lots of spins a few months after getting it. Really has a lot of staying power for me.

Makes me wonder sometimes how clean sounding black metal can get. I like when bands have explored really high notes and chords with minimal distortion. Super fuzzed-out BM has been taken to its logical extremes, but I'm curious about the opposite approach.

Overall I agree. Nothing spectacular, although "I Will Lay Down My Bones..." is a fuckin amazing track. Probably the best new song I've heard in a year or more.

"Vvrzvm"
The most loved BM band ever. Because... they burned churches??
Really "Filosofem" is one of the best albums ever??
WHO THE FUCK COULD TELL THAT FUCKING WORDS!?!?!?!?
Kill Varg, please. Then you'll be the god of Metal.

Yes, this is why we like Burzum. Burning churches indicates value. Why don't you commit more crimes, you hypocrite?

EDIT: finally heard Artefact's Magic Spellcraft album. These guys are so awesome.

Okay? This was random...and stupid.

I've listened to some Negura Bunget on youtube, feels like interesting stuff. Do they have a good catalogue overall? (I know that Om is praised by many, but asides from that)

 

[unknown]

N Crugu Bradului is slightly similar to OM...really awesome stuff

Their back catalog has a different sound than the last two albums, but it's still definitely worth looking into. Zirnindu-Sa and Sala Molksa are really good.

 

[Eligos]

Listening to Mirrorthrone for the first time. Fun stuff.

 

[Srontgorrth]

Listening to Mirrorthrone for the first time. Fun stuff.

If its not the album Carriers of Dust then make sure you give it a listen.

Hi, just want to let you know that there is a documentary film about black metal with several screenings coming up in the US and Europe. The film features Varg Vikernes, Fenriz, and many more - but no "experts." Their story, their words. Disclaimer: I am one of the directors, if there is a more appropriate place for this than the black metal discussion, please point me there.

I'll put some links to reviews so you know that this is NOT: Lords of Chaos the movie, sensationalized, nor what you might expect.

Inarborat Kosmos is pretty good too. Om is still the obvious winner tho.

 

[Zephyrus]

Nice! I'll be in Boston that night.
