Black Metal.

is that a real band name? Imperial Chrystaline Entombment? Jesus.

there are shitty bands of every genre and I imagine "wintry" attracts a lot of try-hards and failures. I haven't listened to those bands you mentioned, will give them a try.
 
:lol:

Unrelated: I cannot get over how good The Voice of Steel is, and I don't typically go for symphonic black metal. Ugh, so awesome.
 
Putting Mort on my ignore list was the best choice I've made on this forum. I can't think of a single occasion when I was even mildly entertained by his posts.

Like right now, he probably just said something super douchey to make him look more knowledgeable on black metal. The bands he recommends never fail to disappoint.

You listen to Animals as Leaders, Glorior Belli, and Woods of Ypres. You have NO place to be making a post like that.
 
edit: anything but MoRT...and maybe Odinist
MoRT isn't bad, but it's not surprising that black metal fans don't like it. It's more of a bizarre, meandering, dissonant blackened Godflesh worship kind of thing. It still feels very much like Blut aus Nord — or at least the warped, industrialized aspects of TWWTG taken to an extreme. So yeah, it's kind of only for people who appreciate that sort of thing.

Odinist is good, but as a whole not great. "The Cycle of Cycles" is an excellent track, though.
