[~Neurotica]

Guys, check out spanish depressive bm - Dantalion. Not bad stuff, I must say.

I've only downloaded the Raventale stuff from this thread so far....so I must check out the other downloads too.

*head explodes*

 

[dill_the_devil]

I've yet to check out eireone's mix playlist and Dantalion, but if anything else in this thread approaches the quality of Raventale, I'd be very pleasantly surprised.

 

[Ars Magna]

I saw that someone mentioned Animus earlier...I am a little biased seeing that I released it, but it really is an essential item if you are into this style. Some of the most personal music I have ever heard in this arena. I didn't see anyone mention Elysian Blaze. They are amazing. Simply amazing. Levitating The Carnal is brilliant!! Vhernen is also quite nice.

Funny,I was interesting in the Animus album just from the little bit written on the store front about the album before I saw noticed people were talking about them/him here. Do you write those descriptions? Perhaps I will pick it up.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

I got some buying to do.

 

[Ars Magna]

I write the descriptions for my releases as well as some of them in the catalog. Others I take from the band/label websites or reviews. A lot of it depends on how much free time I have.

How about Wigrid and Weakling? I don't think I saw them on here. Then again, I am tired as hell. They may have been the first.

 

[Demilich]

Haha, I was just reading your site and was going to ask you if you write those (very tasteful and well done) descriptions! Good job

Checked both these out the other day. Pretty good samples on their myspace pages.

Wigrid and Weakling are definitely both amazing. Weakling always reminds me of The Gault... I really don't even know if it would be considered Black Metal.. but damn if the atmosphere isn't depressive and saddening. I'm fond of Elysian Blaze's Prophecy of Misery album. Vhernen reminds me a lot of Inferi... very hypnotic and repetitive. Good trance inducing stuff. I've been getting into the following lately:

Absolutus
Mortualia
Blood Red Fog

 

[eireone]

Speaking of Animus.. anything in the works.. new material?

 

[Ars Magna]

The new Animus album is nearly complete. However, it might be a few months before it is released. I've heard a single track and it was wonderful.

Oh...and I have a feeling that I am really going to enjoy it here. I've never heard (or even heard of, for that matter) of a few of the bands listed on this thread. The most recent being:

Absolutus
Mortualia
Blood Red Fog

It never ceases to amaze me how much stuff is out there.

 

[skeptik]

I haven't heard of 85% of what's in this thread. :zombie:

 

[dill_the_devil]

I'm actually having trouble finding the time to listen to everything being recommended on this forum lately, between this thread, the Recommendations round and the various bands I'm still playing catch-up on!

 

[Demilich]

RC actually seems to be pulling things together a bit these days!

Remember for a while there, we'd hardly EVER have much of a music discussion at all - even anywhere on the first page of threads!

 

[Evil?]

I know what you're saying Ars. I am always trying to play catch up. There is just so much shit to listen to.

Well said, I agree and actually said something close to the same thing in a private email earlier today.

[JayKeeley]

About bloody time too!

 

[eireone]

I'm having a hard time finding samples on the web for Absolutus, Blood Red Fog, and Mortualia... let me know if anyone is interested and I'll post them.

Here's some more goodness... go to this radio and listen to the Scorn track!!!!

Nordic Winter... very nice (nice meaning totally depressing) in my opinion.

Yeah, the forum does seem to have got back on track somewhat of late - perhaps we didn't quite jump the shark yet after all!
