Looking into black metal...

[Snowblind]

I'd say that Gontyna Kry - Welowie is an easy album to get into...especially if you're coming from a melodic death background.

Hmmm...that Wolfnacht track was surprisingly good. I could have sworn remembering Wolfnacht to sound like a shitty Absurd ripoff. This comes across as a cross between Thousand Swords and United Aryan Evil. I'll definitely have to look into picking up this album.

This is the only good Wolfnacht album (from what I hear), and indeed it's far from being an Absurd-rehash. The respective spirits of TS and UAE are present on it at times, I'd somewhat agree with that.

It'd be nice to see more people getting into it actually, I've been singing its praises mostly single-handedly for a good while now. Tracks four and six are the really great tracks, if you like this one I imagine you'll love those.

This one gets the GoD seal of approval.

I listened to the Wolfnacht track. I liked the beginning of it, but I got lost with the heavy section. It definitely reminded me of the Fullmoon album...another one I just don't see the value of.

The Sort Vokter was great, though. Minimalist fuzz, just the way I like it.

[Under The Oak]

I think the only other band I like that hasn't been mentioned is Inquisition. Go for "Invoking The Majestic Throne Of Satan" or the new one "Magnificent Glorification Of Lucifer".

I don't think I've seen nagelfar recommended...I like this band a lot so you can give it a try..not to be confused with naglfar who pretty much suck IMO.

No one likes Anaal Nathrakh ? The Codex Necro was an amazing album.
