recently i got into Negura Bunget (thanks to serenity now! ) and alcest's little ugly sister, Amesoeurs (the more blackmetalish side of alcest, also by neige the genius. brilliant stuff by the way).
i dont know i you could actually call these 2 black metal by definition' but, can you recommend me some good sounding BM? But something thats recorded properly, not a "ive-made-it-at-home-late-drunken-night" kind of sound..

They have a pretty unique style + imo, really mesmerizing lyrics.
"Si Monumentum Requires, Circumspice" and "Fas - Ite, Maledicti, in Ignem Aeternum" are the two first parts of a trilogy, so I'd recommend you start with "SMRC", then go with "Kénôse" ( which is considered by the band as something of an "appendix" to "SMRC") and "Fas" after that. And then join us in our wait for the last part.
A band I've just discovered and mentioned in the Now Playing thread, Ved Buens Ende. They've split-up now, but they released a corker of an album back in '95 entitled 'Written In Waters'. Highly recommended. It's musically sort of a precursor to later-Deathspell Omega.
Huzzah! Someone else who noticed that DsO blatantly loved VBE!
Pretty much look out for avant-garde or experimental 'black metal' bands.. They're generally far more interesting than traditional bm..
Pretty aroused by the fact so many threads are turning into dso talk atm.
