Metal 2017

BURN.

 

[Krow]

Probably where that record belongs anyway tbh

It’s interesting. Probably not earth shattering or anything but I do like weird takes on black metal. Doubtful it would do much for you.

Doubtful it would do much for you.

I like black metal but it generally doesn't do much for me like others here yes. What I mean by that is: I like it enough to keep exploring the genre, but I'm not going to go out and buy a random third tier black metal band's back catalog because they are a Burzum clone or something like that. There are still first tier bands I need to explore within the genre tbh.

The only black metal bands that I would put in a Top X metal bands list right now are (definitely) Immortal and (maybe) Burzum.

 

[CiG]

What're your top Immortal albums btw?

 

[The Ozzman]

What're your top Immortal albums btw?

Pure black metal era: At The Heart of Winter and DFM (maybe. I would have to relisten)
Overall: Sons of Northern Darkness

 

[Krow]

I’ll just say I don’t think anyone is seeking out “third rate burzum clones.”

Black metal is just a giant fucking sub genre umbrella and there’s just a ridiculous amount of variety.

I’m not big on second wave stuff myself. I’m much happier with bands like Windir or Nokturnal Mortum or black thrash

Oh and the hot ticket right now is uber raw bands from Portugal riding Black Cilice’s coattails and skjold Records in general. Most of it sounds shitty.

Hopefully that’s readable I spoke it into my phone going down the road

 

[CiG]

I'm lowkey really anticipating this new Nachash record, but generally I've never been a big black metal guy myself. I like Graveland a lot.

This song sounds great. The upcoming EP should be as well. Thantifaxath - Self Devouring Womb, from Void Masquerading as Matter, out 11/24/2017:

I grabbed this cd now that Metal Blade reissued it. Avoided the original presses because of a bunch of horror stories from the label, including sending a box full of kitchen trash along with a record. It's funny how quickly the underground turned on them after that. They're interesting but I havent actually listened to the cd in full yet.

Haha yeah I read about that, looks like some people never got their orders either, assholes.
I heavent really listened to the whole album either, some soungs sound pretty cool, but honestly, if it wasnt for the image I wouldnt go see them, im such a poser.
I saw MGLA in the same venue and they had the worst sound I have heard, hands down, couldnt hear shit, a real snoozefest of a show too. I hope Batushka has better soundtechs.

 

[EspaDa]

Mgla plays really short shows even when headlining. 40-50 minutes, that's all.

 

[CiG]

I think I prefer shorter shows actually, when I saw Slayer it felt so fucking insanely long and as much as they are legends it was brutal for me, however when I saw Obituary they played a smaller venue and did about an hour. It was perfect.

 

[Krow]

....is this band named after the movie about an evil baboon that kills a bunch of d&d nerds?

 

[nizzon]

This is fucking great!
