Brave Murder May Bracket B: Voting/Evisceration

[SonOfNun]

Well lets conclude it then with 64. Since Nad, Ellestin, and Einride, all seem to be done with it. DarkGift disappeared leaving us with Vola, Max didnt vote last time, and Ken had to drag Swizzle back from FB to cast his.

No point continuing when only 3-4 people are enthusiastic over it. My take is that this tourney could pump some life into this corpse forum and keep it going at least for a small stint until we all lose interest. Especially considering that if one happens to post a reco thread one is lucky to get 1-2 replies. Yea I honestly dont even know. Like Ive said before, "What are we all doing here?" That goes for the forum and the tourney. I'm not here for pen pals, no offense, as great as you cats come off. Maybe it's a small flame of nostalgia that with a little elbow grease and some attentiveness, this forum could be somewhat respectable and alive as it once was. I'll post the remaining 32 come July and we'll wrap it up.

Just dont post any threads in 2022 entitled, "Where is everyone?"

The tournaments are fun and the positive is that they make us listen to each other's music instead of just opening the thread, saying "WTH is that!?" and moving on. I think we just need to be careful not to overdo it.

I also don't think the tournaments are necessary to RC's survival. This place has been doing pretty well since last Fall and we weren't doing this back then. Of course, we might just have different standards for what "active" means. But I think things have been going pretty well.

Based on the recos, im gonna be getting some taake.

Its also opened my eyes to things i need to steer clear of like daughters, btb&m and black magic ss

So the tourney works

 

[NAD]

The first Taake album is Top Tier Black Metal. I would put it up against the classics we all know and/or love.

EDIT: Actually tbh* it's probably my second favoUrite black metal album ever, right behind Bergtatt.

*pronounced THHHHHFFFFFFBBBBPPPP

 

[einride]

guy peaked early, to be sure

nattestid (1999) is one of the last vanguards of Ye Olde Magick, like a requiem for and conclusion to the norwegian so called second wave

 

[Ellestin]

I said it before I think but the opening riff of Nattestid is probably the riff that pops most often unannounced in my head.

my brain is constantly playing "troops of doom" by sepultura

 

[Krilons Resa]

Every time I think of that album I spontaneously scream “Nattestiiiiiiiiiiid!!!!!!”

I have fond memories of driving back and forth to work on wintry days to Nattestid and Lucifugum - On The Sortilage of Christianity.

 

[NAD]

I get random riffs stuck in my head a lot and I have to track them down. They stay there for months on end if I don't figure them out.

I often hear the loose tom mic / drum head from that album, but I think that's just my hearing damage.
