RECOMMENDATIONS THREAD

I'm looking for epic death metal. Well, death metal with epic riffs at least. I'm not fussy about overall band quality, but if you know of a song or two that has great "epic" riffs, let me know. Stuff like The Chasm and to a lesser degree, later Aeternus.

Caducity? Not exactly the same thing, but still good.

Caducity is amazing.

You also need:

KRONOS!
Angel Corpse
Drawn & Quartered
Garden Of Shadows
Mithras

Hey all.
Ive just been getting into Burzum a bit and got 'Burzum' and 'Aske', both of which I like a lot.

Ive heard that most of his latter stuff is a far cry for these two records, is there much else worth getting from him weather it be death or more ambient style of music.

Cheers

Dan

 

[Perdition's Light]

Det Som En Gang Var, Hvis Lyset Tar Oss, and Filosofem are all brilliant. Well, actually the second half of Filosofem is some less than stellar ambient (imo), but otherwise you must get these as well.

 

[Impudent]

All of Varg's other work is black metal, just like "Burzum" and "Aske", except for "Daudi Baldrs" and "Hlidskjalf", but those are both enjoyable as well.

Tomhet is one of the best folk/ambient works ever made with just a keyboard.

 

[Impure616]

who could recommend me a really depressing song, I would prefer black metal I feel like feeling like shit emotionally if that makes sense.

Xasthur - Legion of Sin and Necromancy

That's the only Xasthur song I like.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

WTF it's not like any of his other songs are a big departure, especially on that CD. You're wacky.

 

[skeptik]

That's by far the most aggressive and least ambient song on that album, excluding the Mutiilation cover, from what I remember.

Ashdautas - Lightless Horizon

What're your thoughts on these lads?

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

They're strictly good. At first I though they were really fucking awesome, but it wears off. I actually think of them as pretty lifeless, but that's what BM should be some of the time...the vocals are screechy/whiny and ridiculously reverbed...it's an acquired taste for sure. The riffs are like Demilich's only without the substance: think a lot of random (lo-fi) fretboard running, but it does sound oddly intriguing in a black metal context to have weird "technical" wander-y riffs hanging around...still, check 'em out.

 

[EleventhShadow]

I want some thraaash.

fast 275 BPM stuff with 20 riffs a song. Tankard, Sepultura, Dark Angel-esque.

bonus points if it doesnt sound like it was recorded in a wet basement.

ARTILLERY!
