Recommendation: VETTER - Vetterkult

[einride]

A 2012 album of dissonant, dense & distant progressive black metal with occasional BLACK SABBATH moments and infusions of real Norwegian folk music (not whatever the fuck German metal fans think is "folk" these days). Vocals are used very sparingly.









I was in contact with this band (actually, it's just one guy) a few years ago and traded some stuff. At the time he'd just made a really good demo which literally no one cared about, then or since, which is a shame. It had a song called "Stemmer I Natten" that was A+, absolutely in the same league as all the best stuff Norway produced in the past. Unfortunately "Stemmer I Natten" is not on YouTube but I might get around to uploading it later.

On the right night in the correct mood I'd likely shit myself over this stuff.

 

[einride]

i really think this deserves a listen

it's some of the least immediate music i've come across recently but it's actually well worth trying

 

[Ellestin]

sorry for being late in checking out your recos Erik, I will eventually, when I'm back from vacation that is...

 

[swizzlenuts]

This is fucking fantastic as well. I love dissonant riffing like this

 

[Reign in Acai]

Listened to the first song (will check out the rest later), outstanding. I was expecting the sparse vox to be of a harsh grim nature, was pleasantly caught off guard by the opposite.

 

[Ellestin]

ok I took the time to listen to this, and it is seriously, wickedly awesome. N°1 rec so far in the whole roundtable (apart from mine that is)

Erik can you post Stemmer I Natten? All the material from the full length is excellent, fiending for more.

This is definitely something for a specific mood, but it's pretty damned cool. Thanks for this recommendation, I'm filing this under things to get.

I don't even understand what this means.

This is really good stuff, enjoying it greatly!

 

[Ellestin]

Definitely a keeper!
