Most talented modern black metal band . . .

[Thanatopsis123]

DsO by a mile (and to be honest, I'm only truly sold on Si Monumentum...). Kenose is not an "easy listen" by any means. I've heard it once and there's obviously A LOT to take in.

I just haven't had time to explore more DsO. From what I understand, they themselves try to remain anonymous.

Odd, I thought Kenose was by far the easier listen. And I really need to get my hands on those Infernal Battles and Inquisitors of Satan CD re-issues.

Where do you find Deathspell releases other than Kenose?

 

[Thanatopsis123]

Redstream had them all at one point.

Perhaps on song length, then yes. As I mentioned in the DsO thread a while back, I tend to listen to Si Monumentum prayer section at a time (in particular third prayer onwards).

However, as song structures go, fuck me Kenose is a beast. The songs inherently evolve, it's like the whole EP is just one big mutation. How they could ever rehearse this stuff is beyond me.

speaking of a scream check out this from a Mortifera song

banzaiiii... What's the album called?

 

[spikes77]

Album is called "Vastiia tenebrd mortifera" , it's their only full length. Nate the rest of the album is mostly raw black metal french style (great sorrowful riffs and amazing vocals) They share a member with celestia i believe (another good french band)

speaking of a scream check out this from a Mortifera song(they're pretty modern i guess) quite crazy. it's a mostly acoustic song btw.

Wow, that gave me some serious goose bumps. An atmosphere such as that one is something rare indeed, thanks for the sample.

Aquarius has them all right now as far as i know

 

[AsModEe]

Woods of Ypres or Summoning, but I have shit taste in black metal

 

[Claws of Perdition]

Deathspell Omega, nothing else needs to be said.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Nemtheanga's pretty keen on Funeral Mist, he let me hear some today for my first listen. Fucking incredible. That guy's vocals might be the best in black metal right now.

But I haven't heard enough of them to say they're the most talented. I'm blown away by the very little Deathspell I've heard as well, but again, I'm really just not familiar enough.

Watain rules too.

All good choices is my guess.

 

[Birkenau]

All of those bands are awful.

Shining, Xasthur, Velvet Cacoon, Drudkh and Weakling are all pretty talented modern bm bands imo.

 

[Birkenau]

Also, I'm presuming modern = post-2000?

 

[SonOfNun]

All of those bands are awful.

Oh, wait. Was that suppose to be a joke?

 

[AsModEe]

MORTAL KOMBAT

 

[AsModEe]

I expected some fierce argumentation here.. oh well...

 

[Birkenau]

No one argues with the word of god.

 

[MajestikMøøse]

Velvet Cacoon are pretty sweet.

 

[SonOfNun]

No one argues with the word of god.

I like this guy.
