Black Metal.

[Goffdahl]

Nokturnal Mortum fucking rule, and their newest is quite amazing. I enjoy their early records, but I think their more recent releases are more interesting efforts; I love the experimental Floydian moments on The Voice of Steel.

I concur, fully.

Listening to Sun of the Blind's Skullreader now. Very recommendable for those who enjoy slow-paced atmospheric, epic and ambient/progressive black metal.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

I'm generally not a fan of symphonic black metal, but my dick has been hard for Summoning lately, and I remember checking out a few NM tracks on youtube and enjoying them, so I figured I'd check them out. Good stuff.

 

[King Richard]

Don't feel bad Yoda, for whatever reason I've never listened to them (NM) even though Thoth has recommended I do so on multiple occasions. I'll be sure to remedy that once I get home.


In the meantime, I'll blast some Nemesis Divinia.

 

[Zephyrus]

I love all their stuff through NeChrist, but have been hesitant to go further since I'm often turned off by folky elements.

 

[Thoth-Amon]

I love all their stuff through NeChrist, but have been hesitant to go further since I'm often turned off by folky elements.

Well all of their albums have a strong folk component.

 

[Zephyrus]

There are degrees of folkiness.

 

[King Richard]

Ok I just downloaded (ducks) Weltanschlong. Gonna give it a few spins.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

I like just about all Nokturnal Mortum, honestly.

 

[damnromulans]

Interestingly I'm turned off by black metal that has no folky or otherworldly elements. Doesn't have to necessarily be organic instruments or panflutes or synth patches, but I can't enjoy shit like Watain.

 

[Einherjar86]

There are degrees of folkiness.

Don't worry Zeph; Nokturnal Mortum doesn't fall under the "gay" degree of folkiness.

 

[ASD]

The newest is a combo of Moonsorrow and later Bathory pretty much, with their old style of course.

 

[damnromulans]

I need to check that out, sounds good

 

[Zephyrus]

Don't worry Zeph; Nokturnal Mortum doesn't fall under the "gay" degree of folkiness.

That is correct!

 

[IntoPhagist]

They sound like Moonsorrow? I like...Anyone hear that new Dissection ripoff Thulcandra? Pretty goddamn good. Love the production.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Lunar Poetry is probably my favourite release by Nokturnal Mortum, but all their stuff is pretty good. This song, in particular, rules:

 

[Manic Ferocity]

That's my favorite release as well, ranking slightly above Goat Horns.

 

[Zephyrus]

Starting at 2:40 is my favorite moment in their entire discography.

 

[unknown]

speaking of folky black metal, I need to check out this new Temnozor I heard Cyth mention

 

[MasterOLightning]

I think NeChrist is pretty awful and early NM is too amateurish for me to really get interested in, but Lunar Poetry stands a bit above the first few. I don't think they got it right until Mirovozzrenie. The early albums are tinny sounding and too reliant on twinkle-twinkle keyboards. They are still doing something interesting considering when those first albums came out, but I don't enjoy them from start to finish.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

NeChrist is pretty meh compared to the rest of their material but I like it.
