Holy fucking christ, is "Det Som En Gang Var" the greatest black metal song ever?

[JayKeeley]

Yeah, we've beat that to death, and most people would agree with you but I don't think I'll ever understand it, especially in the context of atmosphere.

Anthems to the Finnvox Studio at Dusk

What the HELL does that mean?
"Anthems..."'s production is a complete salad just as it should be!

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Anthems > Nightside

for the record

I can't decide, so I'm going with Anthems = Nightside. [/toestheline]

 

[JayKeeley]

What the HELL does that mean?

It means that, in terms of ambience/atmosphere/imagery, "Anthems..." ends up sounding like modern-day Arcturus.

EDIT: Anyway, I don't want to threadjack here but there is a whole poll on "NIghtside" vs. "Anthems" that you can bump for the full explanation.

This is a thread for the greatest black metal song evar!

 

[JayKeeley]

Then why aren't we talking about Mercyful Fate's "The Oath"?

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

You don't know shit about Black Metal. The greatest Black Metal song ever written is "One Road to Asa Bay" (or anything off the latest Old Mans Child CD).

one RODE to asa bay
one ROAD to megiddo

and neither is black metal

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

So what you're saying...is that Route 666 will NOT get you to Asa Bay? That does it, I'm fucking killing my travel agent.

Cheapass!

It's like 40% of the album! Buy the fucken record thief!

 

[dill_the_devil]

LMFAO - trust me, I fully intend to, when (a) I've got some money, and (b) I can find it! I went looking for it last weekend, all the local music stores had Burzum-wise was Filosofem (which I don't feel I'm ready for until I've got Hvis Lyset...) and the Rarities compilation.

I'm really strict with myself as far as MP3s go - I'll never download more than three tracks from the same album (maybe one from an EP), and if I like all the tracks I've downloaded, I will buy that record.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

I'm just busting your chops.

FYI, w/ a little bit of googling, there are a ton of online places that have it in stock, and since the pound is so strong...of course that doesn't help you if you don't have the cash right now

 

[dill_the_devil]

No cash, and also no credit card to order with...
