Help with Black Metal...

Below the Lights is just amazing... to each his own, but sometimes I don't see why some Enslaved fans don't like it!!
 
haha, Imaginary Sonicscape is wank compared to everything before it.

Dawn is a good one. You may like early Suidakra.

But why more people don't check out Aeternus, I don't know. THey are eons better than 95% of the bands mentioned in this forum. Just get their first 3 releases.
 
Monumension is by far the best of the 3 last Enslaved albums . Get it , seriously (you have a cd-r somewhere btw)
 
I've got "Monumension". When I bought it, I bought it along with 10 other CDs. For some reason, it found its way to the bottom of the pile. I need to go back and spend some quality time with it.

I agree with Nad, more bands should follow the path that Enslaved is on. But the fact of the matter, the pot of gold at the end of that path, isn't exactly overflowing (unlike the Dimmu path).

I was able to get a hold of the Dissection, Dawn and The Crown CDs that were recommended. I'll give them a spin shortly. And I'll see if I can't hunt down some Aeternus as well.

It's hard to explain why Monumension is my favorite .. "Convoy to Nothingness , The Voices , Hollow Inside , The Cromlech Gate" = :worship:

Yep. Though "Below the Lights" is much better. I absolutely love "Lunar Force". That first lyrics sends shivers down my spine. But after that, the disc fails to hold my attention.

Haha, that's the only song I remember don't liking, so I guess I'm not the one to give you advise, but I'll give it a go anyways...

Cryptic Wintermoon - Age of Cataclysm

Some generally nice melodic black metal, but not in the Ensiferum, Finntroll kinda way. REALLY EPIC, with some cool synth effects, catching choruses and great, technical riffing. Too polished for my liking, but if I remember correctly, you value good production.

Really? That first line, when he screams out "Farewell my brother..." justs blows me away.

Sounds like it might be right up my alley. Thanks.
