Dimmu Borgir, black metal & "Tr00-Kvlt" BM fans

[Birkenau]

I'm pretty sure it would be none, because 99.99% of all new releases are mediocre.

how would you know? you don't buy anything

I'd say 99.99% of all releases in general are mediocre or lower

if everything sucks then stop listening to metal and go listening to jazz and stop complaining.... especially if you don't have a band yourself and don't contribute anything to the scene.

 

[skeptik]

Drop it, newb...there's no point. There's also no "scene."

 

[KevenZ]

i wonder why you're calling me newb, because of the number of post i have..... damn internet warriors hehe.

 

[skeptik]

the only meaning of the word that I'm using here is in the context to your unfamiliarity with Birkenau. Had you been familiar with him you would realize that arguing is pointless. It has nothing to do with longetivity or postcount.

 

[Fredy_Brown]

ive never seen you say anything good about any metal band or metal genre.. so why bother coming on this board? did mommy block the porn sites from your computer?

So you are looking bad.
And that joke...wasn´t funny.

And Blood Inside isn't? The problem with recent Ulver is that about 25% of the material is actually worth listening to. Some aspects are quite good. At times the music and lyrics match up beautifully (In the Red.) The last good thing they did was one of the songs on the Quick Fix EP and the Teachings in Silence EPs. Lykantropen Themes would have made a solid EP had it been condensed from 35 mins to 15-20. Then it would have been on par with Teachings in Silence.

The recent Peccatum material is much better than recent Ulver. Ihriel's Star of Ash album is actually better than Peccatum. It's creative and varied, yet not pointlessly chaotic.

Lyle, I want to become you when I grow up. Seriously.

sometimes i listen to the smiths and think about killing myself (because i'm listening to the smiths)

Indiepop with black metal aesthetics isn't exactly "avant-garde"

man a black metal band covering the vaselines would be SWEET

 

[Cynical]

LoC is a leviathan's side project, actually not really much bm, more ambient, and Arioch is currently working at a new funeral mist album.

i wonder what do you consider good black metal album then...... ?

PS: i don't think Dead wanted black metal to be avantgarde at all.

Arioch is reforming Funeral Mist with Marduk members. Do you think it's going to be any good at all? Not unless you're brick stupid.

Decent black metal releases of the 2000s:
Watain- Rabid Death's Curse
Watain- Casus Luciferi
Funeral Mist- Salvation
Antaeus- Cut Your Flesh and Worship Satan
Averse Sefira- Battle's Clarion
Averse Sefira- Tetragrammatical Astygmata
Graveland- The Dawn of Iron Blades
Krieg- Destruction Ritual
Krieg- Sono Lo Scherno

Yes, that's a complete list.

 

[MasterOLightning]

It's tough to get the ANUS seal of approval.

 

[skeptik]

Fire Chariot of Destruction was good too.

 

[byrne]

Drudkh - Forgotten Legends
Drudkh - Autumn Aurora
Nachtfalke - Doomed to Die
Nachtfalke - As the Wolves Died
Deathspell Omega - Si Monvmentvm Reqvires Circvmspice

and I agree with Averse Sefira and Watain.

Whats wrong with Jazz? Go stick John Coltrane's sax up your ass Newb

 

[Susperia]

He does not even deserve John Coltrane's sax.

 

[The_Harmathroditic_Ferret]

Your right, how's about Shorters? The only thing I like by him is Footprints

 

[CAIRATH]

When did this forum turn into some kind of Something Awful spinoff where people post gimmick images every other post?

 

[The_Harmathroditic_Ferret]

It's a habit I picked up from another forum. Everyone was doing it and I thought it was fucking hysterical. I'll try to moderate by usage a little better though.

From metal-archives.com

"Dimmuborgir is Icelandic for ``dark castle/fortress``. It's a type of lava formation found in Iceland which is - according to local legends - a gateway to hell."


I'm curious about this.
