I've heard OF Ludicra. One of the gazillion side projects of the HoM guy, but obviously you know that already.
Right, it's John Cobbet's BM project. It got a good write up at Aquarius Records, but I figured one of you BM'ers might have heard a few samples at minimum.

OK I dug out a sample here: http://66.199.224.135/uploads/3014_tomorrow.mp3
The track is called "Tomorrow held in Scorn". Thoughts?

Heehee, sounds like Cobbet's riff structures and guitar tone. I think I'm finally growing tired of blastbeats, but that sample is okay. Not digging the vocals.
Ever heard of Thorr's Hammer?Caelum Adustum said:

Fuck Thor's Hammer - they suck donkey balls.
Thorr's Hammer >>>>>>>>>>>>> Thor's Hammer
That was a shining moment for Southern Lord, let me tell you. Remember when Emperor turned gay? That was when Runhild Gammelsaeter ripped Isahn's dick off. She was 17 when they recorded Dommedagsnatt.

I want Thorr's Hammer. Sunn 0))) is my favorite Southern Lord artist, but I've only heard a handful.

You fuck. You should have told me. Abyways, that album, the only one by em, is one of the greatest doom albums of all time. .02NAD said:

ARR!!!! Maybe next time then. Your shit went out today by the way, so did Erik's (if he's spying on this thread from afar [or aclose]).
OK so now Ludicra have a NEW album out on Alternative Tentacles. Heh, still haven't heard the debut but this new one is getting amazingly good write ups...
What better way to "celebrate" another absurd election season then for AT to release its first black metal album! Ludicra's style is raw, primal, dissonant and ugly and sets itself apart by incorporating untraditional songwriting and elements of avant-rock, crust and death metal. Ludicra's appeal goes beyond black metal's confines focusing on harsh reality and apocalyptic atmospheres instead of mindless devilry, recalling brutal voices of AT's past like Logical Nonsense, Dead & Gone and Neurosis. After one highly-regarded album, Hollow Psalms, on Life is Abuse Records (Dystopia, Tarantula Hawk, Yeti), Ludicra has joined the consistently eclectic AT roster for its second album Another Great Love Song.
Ludicra is also a very very black metal entity. With keyboards and raging guitars and blasting drums and screams of triumph and despair, it's got a density of sound put to tape that incorporates both the heaviest violence and the prettiest melancholy...in fact a lot of this is really quite pretty, to our ears, when they get into a midtempo plod and let the little melodies up for air... Black metal fans will find this band bows to no one, even as it reminds us of Enslaved, old Emperor, Opeth, old Solefald, and others of their ilk. Ludicra, however, are urban not ancient, emotional not evil...musically they do conjure the wolves and longboats of Nordic black metal even though any such references (there IS a song called "1000 Wolves") are allegorical in nature.
Has anyone heard this new one?
