Lately I've been listening to Immortal - At the heart of winter. I haven't really given them any attention before, cuz I've been more into slower, atmospheric bm.

Though, I gotta say that that Immortal-record is great. Album art is awesome, and the songs are well-written + long, which always is a plus in my book.

I could recommend Raate and Dolorian for you guys up there.

Raate is pretty atmospheric stuff, similar to Burzum. Dolorian is just great. Both of the bands have a pretty depressive sound.

 

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

Raate is a lot like early Burzum, and so is Die Toten Kehren Wieder mit dem Wind.

@failure of threads:

Alcest
Amosoeurs
Defaillance
Mortifera
Monarque

Those are all French or French Canadian bands and they're all good

amosoeurs is ok, a bit annoying in some places, but you like alcest? wow, thought I was the only one here.

Alcest are great, so that makes us three atleast.

 

[JontRevolting]

Le Secret is amazing,definately my favourite Alcest.

Right now I am listening to "Det som en gang var" by Burzum. Every time I listen to it (which, by the way, is way to seldom) I feel certain on this: Det som en gang var is the greatest black metal song ever. That's a feeling that strikes me every time I listen to it. Such a great atmosphere in it... What do you guys think?

thanks dude!

four I love Alcest, also I just got into Les Discrets, another French shoegazey/metal band, and quite possibly they have the greatest cd cover of all time

It depends on how many bands(or albums) you've listened in black metal that you conclude like that,nice song though.

It's up there.

@failure do you have Miserere Luminis' s/t? It's a collaborative project between Gris and Sombres Forets, really excellent blend.

I like Alcest too --> 5.

It's defintely the Immortal album that grows on your the most. Especially the title track. Glorious!

 

[The Emptier]

krampus. no that sounds sick though. i'll check it out

its a pretty common opinion but ive always felt the other 2 black metal songs on hlto were better. that song is just a little too long imo

 

[damnromulans]

the synth intro bit is perfect but yeah it goes on too long otherwise

 

[Episteme]

Alcest are great, so that makes us three atleast.

I like em too. I don't mind Amesoeurs but there are so many non-black metal parts, I don't really consider it metal.

 

[Kara-Shehr]

coldworld

 

[Krow]

I also like Alcest... but I like shoegaze in general... I like Lantlos too... havent checked out Amesoeurs yet.

 

[Xorv]

I tried to get into shoegaze, my bloody valentine, but I just got bored.

 

[cookiecutter]

Try Slowdive or Ride, I think they're better than My Bloody Valentine

I listened to Lantlos for the first time yesterday. Pretty good, but I still haven't heard any of shoegaze/black metal that approaches Souvenirs d'un Autre Monde.
