Black Metal.

Just came back from listening to that on their myspace after seeing your post in the albums thread. The riff at 0:40 is devastating, awesome band though the vox could be a bit less phlegmy and more screamy.

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but the vocalist from The Axis of Perdition is doing vocals on the new Void of Silence album since Nemtheanga backed out of it

 

[Lateralus14]

Can anyone sum up one or both of these two releases for me?

Averse Sefira - Homecoming's March
The Ruins of Beverast - Furious Waves of Damnation

 

[Srontgorrth]

The Ruins of Beverast is a boring demo pretty much imo.

 

[Eligos]

Homecoming's March is AS's most generic release.

 

[SkiesAtOurFeet]

A Forest of Stars has a song from their forthcoming album 'Opportunistic Thieves of Spring' on their myspace, song is called 'Raven's Eye View.' Not sure how I feel about it yet, doesn't seem like they've strayed far from their first full length though.

That's an interesting alteration.

 

[unknown]

indeed

in the mean time...A Forest of Stars new song...I shall listen

edit: vocals seem a bit better produced and fuller than the previous record. sounds like A Forest of Stars. from the one track it sounds like they haven't strayed off more into any of the other areas comprising their sound (they didn't get weirder or anything). I like it of course

I don't know if any of you know Sad Legend - an ultra-melodic and slow symphonic black metal band from Korea (It's not as gay as it sounds...)

They have recently released a new album after an 8 years break. It's still melodic synth black but performed in an extremely avantgardistic way. I cannot compare their music with anything else... The synth is extremely oldschool and I think this is on purpose. And the choirs are hilarious yet catchy in some strange kind of way. Pretentious music - no doubt about it! But first listens have been great

 

[sevag00]

^Yes, i've heard their s/t album and their EP. But if i'm not mistaken, the album you mentioned was released last year.

 

[Goffdahl]

Yeah, I know. But that's also recently compared to the two other releases

 

[Eligos]

Reminds me a lot of what I call the Golden Era of Viking Metal - what Borknagar, Einherjer, Moonsorrow, Asmegin, Thyrfing, Windir and the like were playing at the turn of the millennium.

 

[sevag00]

Yeah, I know. But that's also recently compared to the two other releases

By recently i thought you meant this year.

 

[Eligos]

Goffdahl can say some confusing stuff. He had unknown and I thinking he had an advance release of Farsot's upcoming album with his odd wording.

 

[damnromulans]

Thanks for the mention Goffdahl, didn't know any Korean metal acts except Pyha (which is debatable)!

yeah!

er whatever

I started listening to some black metal internet radio lately, and I think with its help I will be BM-ing it more often than once a month or two.

1349 has stood out the most so far from what I don't know. That's some pretty sick shit!

 

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

1349 isn't much of a standout, but that's good to hear man. There is much cooler stuff than 1349, so I hope you discover it soon! Let us know about your journeys into the depths of blackness!

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Yeah the station I've been mainly listening to seems to have a pretty limited repertoire of relatively well-known bands. Probably need to switch to another one.

 

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

Have you used last.fm radio? Do so!
