While doing some casual browsing I stumbled upon this well-written review: http://www.blackmetal.co.uk/MReviews/op=show/rid=539.html and now I'm curious.
I've never heard about them before, though the members aren't exactly new-comers:

King - Guitars, Bass, Vocals (ex-Gorgoroth, Sahg, Audrey Horne)
Kvitrafn - Drums, Effects, Guitars, Vocals, Producer (Sigfader, ex-Gorgoroth, ex-Sahg, Det Hedenske Folk, Bak De Syv Fjell)

So anyone here who's heard them? Either way, judging by the review, I guess they could be interesting for a bunch of people here.
 
At times, this forum begins to remind me of a rock/goth pub I used to go to on a regular basis. The same forty or so regulars had been going there for a good few years, and everyone knew each other. In fact, they knew each other way too well - they knew each other's backgrounds, they knew each other's families, a good proportion of them had gone out with/screwed/cheated on/broke up with a bunch of the others, yadda yadda yadda...

So, after a while, it got to the point where I'd walk in, and I pretty much knew everyone because I was DJing there at the time and occasionally helped out behind the bar when things were busy. I kept out of everyone else's bullshit where possible, and tried to keep mine out of the place. But after a while, there were people sitting in clusters round seperate tables, talking shit about people at another table halfway across the room, who in turn were casting furtive glances around at the rest of the people in the pub.

The whole joint began to turn into a madhouse of festering paranoia, where if you walked over and talked to the wrong group you were subconsciously filed into the 'traitor' cabinet by sixteen pairs of steely eyes, and you couldn't talk to anyone without somehow offending someone else. I'd take a break from the place for a week or two and come back to find stories had been circulating that I'd;

1) Spiralled back into heavy drinking (I was just coming back from a close call with alcoholic depression at the time),

2) Gone around the surrounding area loudly boycotting the pub and telling others to do the same,

3) Left the country,

4) Died.

Suffice it to say, I don't go there anymore.

I can't really remember what the point of this was... I'm rambling.
 
So someone dislikes... say, Trylakos and Conspicuously Absent, and the whole board is spiralling into factions, paranoia, despair, death and destruction? :lol:

Come on, it's only natural!


I'm gonna check these guys out, by the way.
 
Downloading it now. And I wonder who will write the next Gorgoroth album since King ov hell wrote all of the new one.

Don't forget Susperia (for whatever reason), Papa Josh (previously, dunno about now)... there are more, I'm sure of it! Anyway, you're a fine one to talk, you were floating about on invisible earlier! [/mod]
 
I'm always on invisible! :cool:

Especially now that I'm having the brokest summer of my life, and I'm spending more time on the internet than I care to admit...

But yeah, I guess you have a valid point. There has been some animosity here, but when 30-50 guys all talk at the same place, is that really so strange?
 
Actually, I don't really think this board is very cliquey, not compared to other boards I've spent time at in the past. If that was what you were getting at.
 
Pfft, even I don't think I have a valid point - I've got fuck all to do at the moment, I'm in front of the keyboard, and something about this thread made me think of that particular period in my life, so I thought 'Fuck it, I'll share'. :)

Seriously, I'm so bored - I've recorded a couple of riffs, I've broken the 3,100 track in the ongoing endeavour to MP3 rip my entire CD collection (I'm doing it more or less in alphabetical order, and I've just ripped Godflesh - Streetcleaner), and now I'm vaguely debating going on a porn-scavenge on LimeWire.

Oh yeah, Jotunspor - listening to them right now, and I'm really liking this - the wolf-howls mixed in the background are a nice touch, and I like the variety in the riffage.

The last few months have been THE most boring period of my life I can remember. Earlier on today I literally spent about an hour just refreshing the page every few minutes to see if there were any new posts on RC. It's not that I'm addicted to this forum or anything, it's that I have NOTHING ELSE TO DO.

Snap. I was going to go to the cinema with my g/f tonight to see Fearless, but she was going to do family stuff with her gran. Still, I've got Friday off work, so maybe I can do some Thursday night into Friday daytime drunken debauchery to kickstart the weekend and kill the funk.

I don't really see any paralleles to the situation here mainly due to the great differences between written and verbal conversations; but it was a pretty good story though ;)

And on a side note; I like this place (more lately after having grown pretty tired for some time), but obviously not all people who post, which is not that horrible really. I've been posting on RC for some years mainly because I have no friends to share my passion for metal with and also since this is a nice "hang out"

I may have to start a thread or something recalling certain episodes from my life - despite how boring I may seem on this forum, I've actually got a multitude of fucked-up stories (most of them beginning with 'one time when I was smashed out of my head on booze)....
