Grand Belial's Key - Kosherat

Xasthur is one of the worst bands of all time. Though obviously I agree about Grand Belial's Key being the best US Black Metal band.
 
The best black metal out of the US would have to be Weakling, though Absu, Horn of Valere and Averse Sefira are worth mentioning.

Maybe I should give GBK another listen one of these days.
 
It took me forever to get my GBK shirt. Wasn't Blood Stained Dusk considered one of the best US Black Metal bands? I didn't find out they were local until I was talking to a friend that was best friends with their drummer. It's a shame their singer died though.
 
You should try GBK again. I personally find ALL the riffs to be quite good, especially for a black metal band, since a lot of black metal uses repetition (though that isn't always a bad thing).

I mean "Koserat", I mean we all hate the international Zionist conspiracy and its control of trans-national capitalism, but there are more eloquent ways of expressing it than absurd punnery and wordplay.

also Leviathan and Weakling and Absu crush all other US bands. Also I liked Leviathan before Stenphan O'Maailley gave them the metal hipster OK-cred. How do u like them apples?!?
 
leviathan are pretty shitty in my book and weakling are bit boring imo i know a shitload of people cream over that tumult stuff and i used to be the same kinda but oh well
 
Yeah Nocturnal Poisoning is easily his best, very subtle...the songs tend to blend together, and it's a bit overlong, but I think that's the point, and it DOES have some nice atmosphere.
