"Density" by Blut Aus Nord is not 18 seconds of silence.

[Erik]

Amplified lots and lots of times:

That is all.

 

[Hulk Hogan]

Interesting.

Thank you for that information.

 

[Ayeka]

And the point of them doing that was....?

 

[Krilons Resa]

What is it since I am fucking lAZY

 

[J.]

It's very avant-garde I suppose

Is that sarcasm I detect? haha.

 

[J.]

I still haven't heard them, but I would say I'm very curious, if only to see what all the hubbub is about.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Erik, have you heard Memoria Vetusta yet?

 

[Krilons Resa]

You may like it a lot more.

 

[Ayeka]

Just a bunch of semi-disturbing noise. It's very avant-garde I suppose

For the record: It's a load of static. Very H.C. om1god I'm so h00rny So...remind me...why was I expected to pay any attention to this band in the first place?

Blut Aus Nord scares the earwax out of my dome, the "silence" between tracks is brilliant, BRILLIANT I SAY!!! Reminds me of Nattens Madrigal, which is brilliant as well, BRILLIANT AS WELL I SAY!!!

 

[Demonspell]

How are they going to follow up The Work That Transforms God? Most likely by going even further in the ambient noise direction while keeping some semblance of primitive BM, I wouldn't mind seeing them do an extended length composition...

You should hear 'The Mystical Beast of Rebellion' (the album just before the 10/10 'The Work Which Transforms God'). It has like 30 seconds to a minute or two between each track, and all the songs are much more brutal. Whenever a song bursts forth from the silence, it shortens my lifespan by a year or two each time.

J. - GET 'THE WORK WHICH TRANSFORMS GOD'. Blut Aus Nord is considered the Neurosis of BM for a reason. In fact, PM me your address, and I'll send you my promo copy.

It really does on The Work Which Transforms God, I should pick up there other one it seems.

I spent a night in the middle of nowhere driving 100mph down dark roads blasting TWWTG, OH MY GOAT THAT KICKED SO MUCH ASS while it scared the fuck out of me. I thought around any turn I'd run into Satan himself. :Smokedev:

 

[Nate The Great]

Blut Aus Nord has several other releases. They've been around the block a time or two.

 

[no country for old wainds]

Their latest is their best, followed by the also-excellent Ultima Thulée. Mystical Beast... needs more variation in pace, while Fathers of an Icy Age is just decent, nothing more.

It sounds like a bunch of caffeine-addled crickets being sucked up by a vaccuum cleaner.
