Stop hitting on the new poster in this thread, you fags.

 

[Orion Crystal Ice]

hit on me instead tbh. I even have a picture.

 

[mutantllama]

Hey sexy.

You guys don't understand, this is a poster from Maine. That's rare.

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

Fail.

Word.

I don't see how Beyond Sanctorum can be mentioned in the same breath as Nespithe, Slumber of Sullen Eyes, Like An Ever Flowing Stream, etc etc

 

[skeptik]

Cool.

 

[Cythraul]

Controversy:

Beyond Sanctorum: decently written, adequately played, and about as exciting as watching paint dry.

[DarkBliss]

Listen to it while playing Burnout and imagine you're grinding posers. It'll immediately become more exciting, I assure ya.

The Xasthur albums after Nocturnal Poisoning are almost all very good, and Subliminal Genocide is the best of the bunch.

 

[Zephyrus]

I'm partial to The Funeral of Being. "Tyrant of Nightmares" is his best song IMO.

 

[divine_torture]

Nocturnal Poisoning is really good. I enjoy The Funeral of Being quite a bit. But my favorite is honestly Telepathic With The Deceased.

I agree with this statement. The Prison of Mirrors is my favorite song not off Nocturnal Poisoning.

 

[MasterOLightning]

Nocturnal Poisoning has such crappy production. I think the re-recordings of those songs came out much better. The Funeral of Being had a much better sound while still trying to achieve similar aims, and then the albums after that are going for something different.

I would say the best songs are Conjuration of Terror, Abysmal Depths Are Flooded (one of the most unique melodies I've heard), and Arcane And Misanthropic Projection (great writing).

 

[JontRevolting]

i have a copy of Subliminal Genocide here have'nt even listened to it yey,maybe i should get around to it
Soul Abduction Ceremony is a great song,listening to 'Tyrant Of Nightmares',right now,bloody good stuff,especially since i have'nt listened to it for ages

 

[divine_torture]

I agree with this statement. The Prison of Mirrors is my favorite song not off Nocturnal Poisoning.

I'm getting a new computer with my taxes. When I get my black metal stuff recorded I was gonna do a cover of The Prison of Mirrors. We'll see how that goes.

EDIT: On second thought, 'A Gate Through Bloodstained Mirrors' may be a better choice. I think I'd feel better doing that.

 

[Zephyrus]

Both versions of the song "Telepathic with the Deceased" are instant win.

 

[cookiecutter]

Werd. Xasthur is very consistent

Agree, but I don't know about the adequately played part. Maybe adequately played for what he was going for, but far from hearing any hints of virtuosity.

 

[Omni]

Adequacy and virtuosity have absolutely nothing to do with each other. Adequacy merely implies that something is being done at a suitable but fairly standard level.
