The Moaning - Blood From Stone
A Mind Confused - Anarchos
Decameron - My Shadow...
The Moaning was really good. I couldn't find anything by A Mind Confused. Decameron didn't do anything for me.
Uncanny - Splenium for Nyktophobia
This sounded quite good. Not quite what I'm looking for, but still pretty damn good.
This might be a dumb suggestion because you're probably already familiar with them; but if you haven't heard some of Suidakra's older material I'd recommend that, especially The Arcanum and Signs For the Fallen.
I actually wasn't familiar with Suidakra. Signs For The Fallen sounds a little too modern in style and shitty production-wise but the stuff from The Arcanum sounded excellent. Another album I can't find, though.
This is weirding me out: this song appeared on Soulreaper's Written in Blood. Neither are credited as covers on MA. WTF?
Cool. Not at all what I'm looking for, but definitely badass stuff.
Necrophobic, not too obscure obviously, but this particular EP kicks ass like a brutal mofo and isn't as well known as their later stuff, get it!
Sounds pretty meh to me, actually.
Ophthalamia, for any fan of Orchid and Morningrise. Just like with those albums the melodies aren't as predictable as in much other stuff.
Awesome. Again, not what I'm looking for, but sweet.
Meh + excessively thick production (remember that bit about how I like thin productions and atmosphere?)
Awesome. Sounds a bit metalcorish but I don't mind. Great rec.
How 'bout some old Cemetary:
Not such a good rec. Good stuff but not what I'm looking for.
Almost forgot the best one of them all - Without Grief:
This sounds excruciatingly uninteresting tbqbfh.
Old AE is killed by Liva's vox. I mean, look at this:
Kickass music but then he opens his mouth...GODDAMNIT. How did he ever convince them that half-assed clean shouting was appropriate for that music?
Awesome. Good rec.
Not looking for symphonic bm. Cut it out.
I believe I used the word "dark" in describing what I was looking for.
Seriously, really really not looking for symphonic bm.
That's more like it. Pretty good.
Forgot one very obvious band...
Non Serviam
Not bad, but not really what I'm looking for.
Brimstone(love this album)
This is fucking power metal. Did you read my post or the thread title at all?
That said, this is alright.
Aside from the guitars being way too quiet, this is pretty darn good.
Boring w/ horrid vocals.
Mostly just boring.
Good but excessively polished. Not really what I'm looking for.
Pretty sweet.
I'm noticing that people are recommending stuff based pretty much entirely on the thread title, as I asked for more atmospheric stuff and have not been getting it. That said, some quality recs here, and thanks to all, especially MalignParadigm, who fucking rules.
