Depressing, Sorrowful, Misanthropic Black Metal: Let's Discuss

[dill_the_devil]

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!

It does seem that the forum has gotten back on track somewhat of late - perhaps we didn't jump the shark yet after all!

how many people here realize that eireone is nemtheanga

Man Jay, you are the head necromancer at the school of Thread Necromancy.

 

[Dark One]

If it's a thread about misanthropic black metal, I'm all for said necromancy.

 

[JayKeeley]

I need to spend 30 minutes bumping all the cool music threads we once had from '03 -> before the shark was jumped

 

[Evil?]

Sounds like a plan!

 

[Dark One]

It'll be a most excellently triumphant adventure through time. We should pick up the discussions right where they left off as if it were yesterday.

So, anyone still listening to all the misanthropic, depressive, organic, or whatever label is being applied to this style of black metal still? I've just re-discovered Mortifera, got heavily into Weakling's 'Dead As Dreams', and have been thoroughly enjoying Amesoeur's self-titled... Wolves In The Throne Room's 'Black Cascade' is quite incredible, too.

suicidal emotions

Haven't heard that one - will get onto it ASAP. Managed to dig out copies of stuff by Silencer, Make A Change... Kill Yourself and Shining recently too, as well as that Animus CD - got that free from Ars Magna because the Raventale CD was out of stock, still haven't managed to listen to it more than, say, five times. Might give that one another shot.

 

[swizzlenuts]

Definitely Strid.

Suicidal Emotions is probably the best this "genre" has to offer, and I really like Shining II even though I think Kvarforth is silly.

Bethlehem have done some killing stuff

Forgotten Tomb, the first album in particular

Most of this has probably been mentioned already and I'm tired as a motherfucker so I can't do this well anyway

EDIT: That shirt says "Destroying my life since 1996", right? Niklas Kvarforth was twelve years old in 1996 I think.
