French Black Metal

[Nico]

I really liked Of Elitism and War. The other stuff I've heard wasn't very good though.

 

[J.]

Warspirit is very good. there is some crap stuff, sure. he/they used keys effectively and sparingly

is aes dana's "formors" any good? just curious? how bout heol telwen? jolly folk?

 

[SonOfNun]

That Nehemah album dominates. One of those albums that's so good it puts me in a trance. Taken Away by the Torn Black Shroud. Good goat.

 

[J.]

so the hirilorn album is supreme

pulled out himinbjorgs haunted shores. what an album. Third is pretty good too

is Alcest's "Le Secret" any good?

 

[Nico]

It's great, but it's very serene. Lots of acoustic calmness and dreamy atmospheres, but the black metal is definitely solid.

 

[J.]

cool. really thinking of picking it up with some amestigon

 

[J.]

Belenos - Errances Onirique

You need this album.

 

[dorian gray]

Love Lies Bleeding? That name reminds me of old Dream Theater

 

[J.]

Le Secret is beautiful. The first song is amazing.

EDIT: so im thinking of getting some mystic forest

 

[Reign in Acai]

EDIT: so im thinking of getting some mystic forest

Romances!

 

[J.]

yeah thats the one im thinking of getting

in other news, it has been discovered the Alcest's "Le Secret" is one of the better "black metal" releases of the 00's

 

[swizzlenuts]

Fuck yeah! *looks at sig*

 

[J.]

is mortifera any good? how bout celestia?

 

[NAD]

I really like Blut Aus Nord, but The Work Which Transmogrifies Hobbes is pretty much enough of their schtick for me. Although I have an album by Spektr as well, which while good, is a bit overkill for that type of stuff.

Deathspell Omega on the other hand, fucking wow. What other bands should I check out, given my awestruck demeanoUr at all things DsO?

 

[Thanatopsis123]

is mortifera any good? how bout celestia?

I can attest to Mortifera's album Vastiia Tenebrd Mortifera being very good.

 

[J.]

cool, then celestia should be good because mortifera is supposedly (according to reviews) an extension of celestia, since it's the same dude/s

 

[J.]

is this Alcest EP sounding uplifting-ish to anyone else?

 

[swizzlenuts]

Celestia, Mortifera, Alcest rule, along with Peste Noire.

I get a really melancholic feel from Alcest.

 

[Thanatopsis123]

I don't think I've heard Celestia so I can't say. I can, however, upload some Mortifera if you'd like.

 

[J.]

Celestia, Mortifera, Alcest rule, along with Peste Noire.

I get a really melancholic feel from Alcest.

I get the same feeling from Alcest that I get from Jesu. Depressing yet hopeful.....???

EDIT: and if any of those other 3 have a sound or feeling similar to Alcest, consider me sold on them stuff. this is the much better Frenchie black metal, not that poorthodox crap.
