Please use the following three albums as a guide for what I'm searching for:
Sunn O))) - Black One
Deathspell Omega - Si Monvmentvm Reqvires, Circvmspice
Blut Aus Nord - The Work Which Transforms God
340 days a year I make fun of black metal. The other 15 there is absolutely NOTHING else I want to listen to. I don't get it.
NAD, you're knocking on my door with questions like that.
My first recommendation would be that you get Celtic Frost 'Monothiest'. I hope you have that. Terrorizer describes it like this, "If this record has a near relative, it's undoubtedly the '90's classics that stared the abyss full in the face to widespread applause - most specifically, 'Dirt', 'The Downward Spiral' and 'Mezzanine' - filtered through a chasm of crepuscular riffage and murky sonic debris."
Now . . . on to my recommendations.
Secht - True Narcotic Black Metal (totally fucked up relative of both Darkthrone and Sunn 0))))
Spektr - Near Death Experience (on Blut Aus Nord's label - the one they own, not the one they're on themselves - and totally fucked up in a Blut Aus Nord kind of way)
Switchblade - s/t (Like Khanate and/or Sunn 0))) meets Isis (I just thought you might be interested))
Merrimack - Of Entrophy and Life Denial (like Deathspell meets Waitain, probably the best BM of the year)
I'll keep the list short for now, but those are probably right up your alley. As someone that introduced you (and many others on this board) to bands like Swans, Manes, Negura Bunget, Sunn 0))), Khanate, Blut Aus Nord, etc., I think you'll dig those recommendations. I REALLY think you'll dig that new Celtic Frost, if you don't have it all ready. Whatever you know about the band in the past, forget it. 'Monothiest' is the album of the year so far this year.
