Black Metal.

Isengard is awesome.

And of course, Darkthrone. Lately I've been wanting to revisit Darkthrone's mid-career material. A long time ago, when I listened to them I wasn't too fond of this era and essentially wrote these albums off not giving them much of a chance. I think nowadays if I was to re-listen to them I'd appreciate them more. I'm mostly talking about from Ravishing Grimness to Sardonic Wrath.

Isengard is most definitely awesome
The song "Dark Lord of Gorgoroth" is definitive Fenriz to me.

As for Darkthrone, I find myself listening to the first four the very least actually. It's the mid to later periods which I love, especially because of Culto's vocals, which to me are rarely matched for ferocity in Black Metal.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Really? I'm shocked - I thought you'd be right into it.

Oh, I totally love the stuff.
I've had the cds for years. Just never clicked on them on my winamp playlist.
I think that's what it boils down to.

It's obviously pronounced "Tonka".

Ravishing Grimness is an awesome album as are some of the others. I don't know why they are so overlooked.

 

[Eligos]

Total Death is still my favorite.

 

[Mayhem_MetalHead]

I don't think a day goes past when I don't listen to Darkthrone or Isengard.

Listening to Darkthrone right now

Whats the album in your profile pic Hubster?

 

[LuminousAether]

It's Empyrium - A Winter Sunset

 

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

I severely underestimated the new DSO. Fucking fantastic.

 

[Eligos]

High five.

 

[Episteme]

Brofist!

I listened to Paracletus the other day and initially, I wasn't that impressed with it. But today on my way to work I listened to a few of the songs again, and it definitely sounded better the second time around. I'll have to give it a proper listen this weekend.

Took like 3 listens for me, now I'm hooked. Try reading with the lyrics, there are some reeeeaaaaally great passages.

This is where I stand too. Still working my way through it. I wasn't a fan of Fas.

I doubt I'll ever listen to it. I haven't liked anything by them since SMRC.

 

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

It's a little more like SMRC.
