can I get a reco thread all for my self

For some reason I was thinking they were from Germany, band overload in my brain recently :O
 
People have already mentioned just about everything, but i'll try to narrow it down because our tastes usually coincide. Or at least in the past they have :loco:

A forest of stars - corpse of rebirth (just get it, one of the bands i mentioned in my review was ludicra who you're a fan of, and mix in the adventure of in the woods...)

Krallice - krallice (bm album of the year..yes please. Some of the absolute finest moments in bm i've heard in forever)

Misery's omen (as someone mentioned progressive black metal, with awesome bass playing, get itttt)

black metal that i have not noticed mentioned yet:

october falls - the womb of primordial nature
spite extreme wing - vltra (behind only the krallice in terms of bm for me)
Lantlôs - lantlôs - (atmospheric bm from germany)
coldworld - melencholie2 (similar if not a bit more dream like)
Horna - Sanojesi Äärelle (looking at the second disc here in particular, much more melodic than some of their other output with a melancholic touch)


In terms of doom

astral sleep - unawakening (As vttra mentioned. For anyone who has liked my mentions of aarni and umbra nihil in the past , must check this band out)

skepticism - alloy(a bit more abrasive here, without losing any of the majesty)

nightly gale - imprint(another great nightly gale album, they just keep putting out quality, maybe i'll turn on another 2.5 fans this year)

Esoteric (not sure if you're into this band jay, but another immense album by them)
 
@EricT - I could care less about a band's ideologies, first and foremost is the music for me. There'd probably be 1 or 2 Skinheads ready to cause a problem at most if not all gigs, assuming they could even get into North America. Here in Toronto, I'd be surprised if someone would even book them.

Yeah, I wasn't really talking about here. I mean, in this thread alone there's a brown dude who listens to NSBM, and actually reco's it (EDIT: Resident Brown Guy, I like that. "You're a bunch of racist fucks!" "NO, fuck you, we've got a resident brown guy. You may know him as the other member of Rudra, or possibly as Carlos".

More or less the rest of the metal world right now, where I've seen the album hailed by the same people/publications that wanted them burned at the stake for their ideologies. Noticed the same thing happened with Nokturnal Mortum a while back...
 
Ah, yeah. As much as I'd love to say people are opening their minds to music of all kinds and embracing it, I know better. They are just following what they see as the latest "trend", so to speak.
 
Demilich: please tell me you've heard The Kinks, spec. "Village Green..."
Also, what about The Misunderstood? Unknown cult band who released one of the greatest psychedelic songs of all time, "I Can Take You To The Sun"
 
spite extreme wing - vltra (behind only the krallice in terms of bm for me)

The samples offered on their website are glorious! :kickass: I had no idea SEW were so eclectic, I thought they were some run of the mill basement black metal crap. Cool website too.

Lantlôs - lantlôs - (atmospheric bm from germany)
coldworld - melencholie2 (similar if not a bit more dream like)

The lantlos is some serious Amesouers tribute/rip off thing going on.... but the coldworld is pretty nice. Need to hear more but the myspace samples are great.
 
yea the material from that album is very much different than their other output which is more standard stuff. There's background keys on most of the songs (giving the album a very 'warm' aura) but they never overpower the forefront which is always the riffs, And what amazing riffs they are. On some songs there's a punk tinge to them as well. Truly a unique album. They even have a cover of helter skelter at the end of the album. Brining together the package is great cover art :Shedevil:

P.S do you want an mp3 from the krallice?

Where do you order your stuff? The End has the SEW and pretty much nothing else surprise surprise
 
There's been a few great comps that came out this year.
Agalloch - The Demonstration Archive: 1996-1998
Deathspell Omega - Manifestations 2000-2001; 2002
Hellhammer - Demon Entrails

Heavy Metal/Doom
Seamount - Seamount (Hour of 13 vocalist Philip Swanson sings on this album. i'm not sure if it's been released on cd yet, but you can download the entire album from their official myspace page)
Witchfinder General - Resurrected
 
I really have little to add. i spent pretty much most of the year gathering true doom from recs from doomcifer, swizzle, and dodens. then spent the last two months gathering mostly old school death metal.

but here ya go

Ereb Altor - By Honour (just think viking metal Bathory gone doom)
Crom - Vengeance (Viking metal Bathory with in tune vocals)
Grand Magus - Iron Will (it's fucking Grand Magus!)

the end has the sew, krallice and a forest of stars. The october falls you can get from red stream (and the skepticism). The hardest one to find is probably the misery's omen. I had to buy that from Australia. Not sure if it's available in any u.s distros.

:lol: I still don't know where 'Carlos' came from, considering his name was Oscar

I don't know if I've ever reco'd NSBM without explaining the caveat of it being NS. I'm sure I would have said that the music was good IN SPITE OF the nonsensical theme behind it. If the music is shit then the NS bit is irrelevant anyway.

People just need to be intelligent enough to separate the wheat from the chaff am i rite

Great. Let me know where you find that coldworld. I was really quite enamored by their samples last night. I'll give them another listen today.
 
Might be cheaper (and faster) to get A Forest of Stars from the distro that re-released it, Transcendental Creations. Not sure though, they are located in Canada rather than US. They've got Krallice as well.

I'll have to check out spite extreme wing, another band that for some reason sounds familiar to me yet I've never heard.

Bindrune was at HC and had both the Misery's Omen S/T and Hope Dies, wish I had mentioned that there :/. They are actually carrying both on their online distro now though. (http://www.crionicmind.org/wormdistro/)

Ars is selling the S/T as well though.
 
I agree that we -- as a group -- didn't do a very good job of informing one another of "holy shit you must buy this new stuff" information at those HC vendors

Although I told everyone to go buy the Velnias demo! They were so hidden as slim-jewel cases, I told the vendor to pull them out and then the RC gang bought them all up

Mr Magna is also selling all the Immortal CDs for $9 and I don't even own Pure Holocaust yet
