Opeth17's Cool and Fun (Un)Black Metal Reco Exchange

[J.]

So how in the world does one go about finding this Myrkgrav CD for a reasonable price?

With luck and some praying

 

[SonOfNun]

Purchases are starting to roll in. Plenty more to come.

 

[SonOfNun]

I will listen to these when I head back to work on Sunday.I still havent forgotten Hesychast or Sletchvalk.

Did you ever get a chance to listen to any of this stuff?

 

[SonOfNun]

Been feeling jolly. Starting to move into the more epic autumnal stuff now. Just listened to Temnozor. Checking out Astrofaes and Walknut. Been on a Drudkh kick and will probably pick up Songs of Grief and Solitude, Estrangement, and Microcosmos.

 

[J.]

Songs of Grief is a terrible acoustic bore.

Microcosmos is a stunning metal score.

 

[SonOfNun]

That Bergthron is a really underrated album.

 

[J.]

ol' bergthron. I'm sure there are numerous mentions of them in old threads

 

[SonOfNun]

We both had them in our Top 10 of 2004.

Within Thy Wounds is good

 

[SonOfNun]

Yes, nice little one-man atmospheric project. He's from Corpus Christi! I got the CD from him (run of 20 copies). Hopefully it'll get re-pressed.

There's something about these Ukrainian/Russian bands that I really enjoy. The Christian ones are good too. You should really check out Evroklidon J. This is a GREAT album and I think it'd be in your wheelhouse:

The Flame of Sodom - 2005

Usynlig Tumult is pretty good too:

Voices of the Winds - 2009

 

[J.]

Will, check them out. I've got a long week at work doing some OT, so I will go down the list.

Horde and Antestor aren't my thing. At least not these days. Back in the day, sure.

That makes sense. Neither of them play in a style that I've seen you mention much.

I do think you'll like Evroklidon though.

 

[SonOfNun]

Not bad.

 

[SonOfNun]

Updated purchases since I started this thread:

 

[J.]

Hate Forest and Astrofaes are tops.

Turisas is not

 

[SonOfNun]

I might actually like Temnozor the most out of those Russian/Ukrainian bands though Battlefields is hard to beat. It seems like that album is pretty unique in Hate Forest's discography and I have not enjoyed their raw, fast BM stuff. Of course, Drudkh has some gems too. I have just really dug Horizons since I got it.

Does Turisas cross the jollyness line for you?

 

[J.]

Ensiferum and Finntroll are about as jolly as I get

 

[SonOfNun]

Well I listen to Power Metal on occasion so...

Did you ever listen to Evroklidon? I can't imagine you not appreciating this band.

 

[SonOfNun]

I'm here jamming Evroklidon again. Still amazing, still totally unheralded.

Might have to throw on Temnozor next.
