Black Metal.

Do yourselves a favor and get the Maledicere demo (on tape) while you can. This is probably my favorite demo since United Aryan Evil. I think it's got something for everyone, especially those who like things that sound old. Something about that four-track production works so well.

There are live videos of the band online, but I don't think they do the band justice.

Checking out 'What is Fit to Burn' now on youtube, sounds great.

Hello. My friend and I are making a black metal project and I would like opinions. We are not trying to reinvent the wheel just having fun playing raw black metal.

I'm glad that some people have decided to check it out. A lot of the time this sounds like the band Hate Forest should have been. They write songs instead of just riffs and they use tempo changes well. Demo recording provides a looseness in opposition to the robotic-at-times Hate Forest. I really wish "The Stench of This Rot" was available in some form online. You can really tell how much thought as gone into the recording. One of the most effective uses of lyrics I've heard in black metal. Lyrics tend to be woefully irrelevant when no words can be made out, but when they are fairly clear they can greatly enhance songs, and it's done to great effect on this song in particular. Other techniques I liked included taking parts that would typically call for a clean - if not acoustic - sound, and distorting them in an especially filthy manner. Guitar noise and feedback is used effectively throughout. The build to the climax of the song is brilliant; repeating "I hate the stench of this rot", while two guitar tracks approach like buzzing flies. Even the interludes are far, far more interesting than the typical fare.

I know it's one thing to be enthusiastic about a release, but I feel I have to be pretty loud when it comes to something that's nearly unavailable and no one else is going to speak for it at the time being.

Here's a pretty readable interview too: http://www.canadianassault.com/maledicereinterview.htm

Has anyone purchased Blasphemophagher - …For Chaos, Obscurity and Desolation…? Thoughts? I ordered the album yesterday.

Also, has anyone heard Canis Dirus from the U.S.? Sounded promising from their myspace samples.

did it come out on cd? if so i need to grab that

 

[Crapples]

Pretty sure the CD's out on NWN as well.

 

[SkiesAtOurFeet]

did it come out on cd? if so i need to grab that

Yes, it is out on cd. Only $5 as well.

 

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

The $5 dollar price tag is misleading tbh, if you wanna buy just one cd from Yosuke, it costs like 12 bucks.

 

[rms]

his shippings a little higher than usual I guess but hes got plenty of good cds at one time to make a good haul.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

It is, but it is very fast shipping. I can't really complain.

 

[cookiecutter]

I listened to Mutiilation - Vampire of Black Imperial Blood last night and I really liked it. Are his other albums as good?

 

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

They vary, of course. I would highly, highly recommend Remains of a Ruined, Dead, Cursed Soul which is goddamned fucking brilliant.

 

[cookiecutter]

Thank you sir

 

[challenge_everything]

Yeah Vampires is awesome, but Remains is even better.

 

[A1a23]

2 songs in and the new Nokturnal Mortum is awesome!
must buy it asap!

This album gets better each time I listen to it. Definitely be buying it soon.

Just picked it up. Fucking beautiful work of art.

 

[Cythraul]

I would highly, highly recommend Remains of a Ruined, Dead, Cursed Soul which is goddamned fucking brilliant.

Explain to me, in your own words (300 words or less, double spaced), what is so great about this album. I'm able to get into some very inaccessible black metal but I can't get into this album yet. Sometimes it takes somebody else's insight for me to "get" what is going on in a certain album. Can you do this for me? Because I want to like this album.

 

[Thoth-Amon]

This album gets better each time I listen to it. Definitely be buying it soon.

just ordered it on Ebay... pricey but I'm hoping it will be worth it. I love every album they've released.

 

[Eligos]

This album gets better each time I listen to it. Definitely be buying it soon.

Easily in my top ten for 2009.

 

[Srontgorrth]

Easily in my top ten for 2009.

Definitely, probably top 5.

Fuck, i love that album. That's the only Mutiilation album i've heard though.

Plenty of people on M-A have done what you ask and I agree with most of them. It sounds very fucked up, wrong and retarded. It pretty much sounds like he basically has no idea how to play music. But it's awesome anyway, the atmosphere, the tone of everything and the songwriting..."Through the Funeral Maelstrom of Evil" ALWAYS does it for me. That acoustic part, disjointedly placed in the song, is so goddamn perfect.
