It's starting to get frigid, and everything is dying - BM circa 2007

Everyone needs to listen to Bathory s/t and The Return a lot,
even if they have for 20 years already

This Darkhestra - Epos is really fucking good. I've only heard their Sary Oy album previously and enjoyed it, but this is way better.

edit: Holy fuckin' balls is this good!!!

By the way, halfway through when it really becomes sombre and then reprises the intro riff with all those women wailing and crying.....that really sounds depressing and haunting.

It's like + + all at the same time. Hate Forest tried something similar on Battlefields as a standalone track but Darkestrah have it nailed in their music.

Could be the album of the year.

[Climb Thar Hill]

farsot - iii
darkestra - epos
arkha sva - gloria satanae

WHERE ARE THESE AVAILABLE, EH?

 

[Ars Magna]

Farsot - TER had some but are probably sold out (I am going to try to get some)
Darkestra - aQuarius (and eBay is always a good bet for this one)
Arkha Sva - Moribund Cult

edit: offhand this is all I know of in the US

 

[Sanctums]

Sorrow Galaxies by Mutiilation is a great choice too.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

You know, i've been listening to Andacht a looot lately, and its making me reconsider my albums of '07 a bit. It may not be a perfect black metal album, but its certainly been perfect for the general mood I've been in as the cold descends and the sun wanes.

 

[swizzlenuts]

I think it is the best of 2007, and pretty damn near perfect.

 

[Demilich]

damn

i need some Lunar Aurora, Epheles (I know its not 2007) and Darkestrah

Goddamnit... that Darkestrah "Epos" is really good.

We're doing a 2007 black metal off today, blasting Darkestrah, Lunar Aurora, Mutiilation, Angantyr, Wolves In the Throne Room, and Graveland. It's not actually that cool where I'm at, but I can dream.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

On darkestrah's metal archives page:
"Darkestrah will release an album in early 2008 which will be called "The Great Silk Road" and it contains 5 tracks with a total of about sixty minutes playing time."

Just found this on the drummer's myspace:

man, i didnt think Epos was that good for an RC gang-bang. then again, Estrangement isnt all that great either, and you folks seem to love it.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

My only problem with the album is its too short. The song is really no more than 25 minutes, not including the several minutes of just waves crashing. Could of used a couple more shorter songs maybe.

 

[Krilons Resa]

That snake looks stupid.
