Black Metal.

[Goffdahl]

I agree about Agrypnie. It is a solid release but I would have liked it much more, had it been released 1½ year ago. The paths I tread are becoming increasingly darker

The same way I feel about Imperium Dekadenz. It's simply too polished...

Anyone here into Wyrd? I wonder if the newest album "Kalivägi" is worth my attention. I found their first five albums quite ok, while number 6 and 7 are shit. But The latest album should be closer to their roots...

Also, has anyone heard the new Winterfylleth and is it any good?

I cant get into Wyrd. I bought one of their albums (vargtimmen II i think) and sold it shortly afterwards.

Also, has anyone heard the new Winterfylleth and is it any good?

I really like the new Winterfylleth. I prefer it to Wodensthrone - Loss.

My favourite black metal album of 2010 so far is Blood of Kingus new album.

So, what's everyone's Black Metal album of the year so far?

My favorites from the year so far no order:

Imperium Dekadenz - Procella Vadens
Odem Arcarum - Outrageous Reverie Above The Erosion Of Barren Earth
Blood of Kingu - Sun in the House of the Scorpion
Negură Bunget - Măiestrit
Burzum - Belus
Winterfylleth - The Mercian Sphere
Lantlôs - .Neon
Heimdalls Wacht - Nichtorte....oder die Geistreise des Runenschamanen

I'm still waiting to acquire the new Heimdalls Wacht and this - i'm positive - will surpass all the above releases by far.

It's pretty damn good, I prefer their 2nd & 3rd full length to it though. Still definitely a top pick for 2010.

I like Wyrd quite a bit. The first 2 albums are excellent. Kalivägi is mostly forgettable to be honest. However, the song "Hämärän Soutajat" is fucking incredible. "Talviyö" is pretty good too, the other 4 tracks not so much.

The new Winterfylleth is terrific. A very solid release all the way through.

Same here, but I need to listen to a hell lot of BM releases, like the new Winterfylleth and Negura Bunget (Virstele Pamintului)

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

I really really really want the new Heimdalls Wacht. Love that band.
Need to get Winterfylleth still.

and a new Arckanum? badass
I really need to make a black metal haul. been a while.

Guys, what about the new Abigor?

 

[Goffdahl]

Haven't listened to it yet and I don't have too high hopes. I never have been able to get into neither CtQoS, Satanized or Fractal Possession, so I guess this new one won't do it either.

Did you purchase or download? If purchased, where at?

I attended the Altar of Plagues/Velnias show last night in Columbus, both bands put on spectacular live shows. If you're one to trance out to plodding, splashing cymbal ridden live music then you'll be in on a trip heaven. Picked up the new Velnias E.P., very solid, worth purchasing if you're into the style. Also purchased the AoP - Tides E.P. but haven't gotten a chance to listen yet.

Listening to Winterfylleth now, 'The Fields of Reckoning.' Wasn't impressed at first but seems they are following early Drudkh formula, rest of the album similar?

 

[Draehl]

Finally got around to listening to the rest of Melechesh's catalog and I must say that Emissaries is about fifteen times better than the rest of their albums. Either a new songwriter or a new philosophy on songwriting or something occurred there. Such a huge jump in quality both in songwriting and production.

You can get the new Heimdalls Wacht here: http://www.heidenshart.nl.nu/

That was where I bought it. I ordered a few things & got them in a timely manner. Reliable distro. Also I'm very jealous that you got to see Altar of Plagues live. That would be quite a treat.

As you should be sir, incredible energy, one of the best shows i've witnessed.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

I dont have it yet. Was hoping I could find it here in the states instead of paying out the ass from Europe

My thoughts precisely, will let you know if i find it in the u.s.

Spun the Altar of Plagues e.p., superb material, highly recommended.

 

[General Zaroff]

Altar Of Plagues is good stuff. Listened to White Tomb a few months ago and highly enjoyed it.

 

[brooks55]

The main reason the new Heimdalls Wacht is so hard to find is because the label, Det Germanske Folket, is defunct at the moment. I believe they still have most of the copies of it. It's a weird situation. I even had to email the guys from Kroda a while back to see if they had any idea what was going on with the label as they were distributing some Kroda stuff.

I'm still pissed Altar of Plagues isn't coming to Los Angeles

 

[MasterOLightning]

Even though I didn't really like the Altar of Plagues album at all, I'm going to see them tomorrow. I just thought it was incredibly unoriginal and not even too well executed outside of a handful of minutes. For all the flak WITTR get, they are doing what AoP does, but first and better. Velnias is enjoyable enough, but I have seen them at least five times. They play just about every black metal-ish show around here. Clad in Darkness is on the bill too, and they are pretty solid. The venue is an absolute dump, unfortunately, so hopefully the sound is passable.

I listened to the album and it didn't impress me at all.

Guys, what about the new Abigor?

New Abigor is terrible.

I've been mostly listening to Engram, Averse Sefira and Lunar Aurora lately. What have I missed?

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Engram is bascally the best black metal album of the generation, so not much that is really worth a damn.
