Black Metal.

I imagine some people just don't like DsO and that's fine, but I'm gonna have to go out on a limb and accuse anyone who "hates" them of donning the mantle of a poseur.

Nothing about them is really hate-able unless you want to hate on them for being relatively popular.

Noisiness, low quality production, loose song structure.

lol doesnt that describe a lot of black metal?

 

[cookiecutter]

Yeah, I'm talking among black metal fans here

Saying this about DsO in contrast to black metal in general is just silly.

Fuck, I need to put on Dark Tribe's In Jeraspunta - Die Rückkehr der Tollwütigen Bestie more often.

Whenever I do I'm like, oh right, this is one of the best black metal records ever. Fuck!

I find it's an impactful album if you only play it occasionally. It seems if I play it more often, it's like it doesn't stand up to close scrutiny. The riffs seem to follow a standard pattern throughout the album (ascent/descent/ascent/descent). I'm really interested to see what they can pull off with their new album this year.

Dark Funeral is the worst live band...ever! Am I the only one hating this new stuff. It sounds like anything off a Dimmu Borgir album.

I have been falling asleep to Filosofem everyday for the last two weeks. Burzum has a way of putting me into a trance and for someone who has a hard time getting to sleep it is very helpful.

[wandering_taco]

Well we all know what these badasses did in their basements before they moved on to metal haha

 

[Anticitizen One]

Hahah. Actually, I could have included the Burzum debut album in that post, too, since the robed silhouette in fog is also seen in both of those above.

 

[skeptik]

Yeah, the Burzum RPG ripoff has been well documented for years, but I'd never heard of the Necromantia one until yesterday. Though the fact that Varg basically culled two album covers from the same RPG manual cover has to give him the slight edge.

 

[Ekinflog]

Uh, speaking of Burzum album covers, apparently this is the cover for his new album Den Hvite Guden:

If you don't believe me, http://www.burzum.org/eng/discography/official/2010_den_hvite_guden.shtml

Hopefully it is a joke.

Maybe Varg learned that he liked dropping the soap in prison?

Keep Of Kalessin will play in next years "Eurovision Song Contest" here in Norway. I could not believe my eyes. Holly fuck, its going to be epic.

Eurovision Song Contest winner ala 1987:

Eurovision Song Contest winner ala 2010(?):

 

[Mikko666]

Engram is one of the top 5 black metal albums of the decade; easily the best album of 2009.

pffff hahaha... fanboy, are you from the antihumanism website?

 

[Mikko666]

Deathspell Omega's evolutionary progress has surpassed the point at which it can possibly "ruin" the standards of the modern Black Metal establishment.

please shut up, that was so gay, it almost sounds like you were masturbating while typing this.

 

[Koude Haat]

not you again..

 

[Lateralus14]

Is he the one that says funeral mist is the band evar or what?

 

[Zephyrus]

please shut up, that was so gay, it almost sounds like you were masturbating while typing this.

I meant "progress" objectively. I don't think they have improved, just changed to the point that they shouldn't be compared to other modern Black Metal bands.
