I'd like to get try out some Shining and Azrael. Should I? The samples I've heard from both are excellent.
 
I'm fairly sure I'm the only one here excited about this but anyway...

AZRAEL "Act III: Self + Act IV: Goat" 2xCD

Post-rock, prog, psychedelia, neo-folk, jazz-fusion, and of course black metal: Post-BM power-duo AZRAEL leave no stone unturned in their quest for the ultimate in forward-thinking, rule-breaking Black Art! Sure to be seated alongside such masters as LEVIATHAN, AGALLOCH, ULVER, DEATH IN JUNE, and classic BETHLEHEM! Specially priced, these two brand-new albums display the boundless depth of the band’s vast yet uncompromising vision. Experimental Ambient Dissonant and Atmospheric POST-MODERN US BLCK METAL GODS! "Burning... This is the blackest metal played at occult rock tempo. Perpetually dark." - METAL MANIACS “Azrael transcends conventional standards of 'metal' - much less 'music' –into that BEYOND-region of otherworldly language.” - UNRESTRAINED!
 
Sounds pretty neat. Honestly though I havent listened to either of Act I or II in over a year, my black metal intake has decreased alot.
 
Shining are very good, check out the Angst and Eerie cold albums JK.

I bought Shinging - IV The Eeire Cold based on one of our recommendation threads.

:Smokin:

I've got some Azrael tucked away somewhere, probably on a CD-R Ken sent me at some point. I'm still going through a bunch of old shit all the time. I'll get to that at some point.
 
Halmstad is a shitty name for an album. It's a city in Sweden most known for...well I don't know. It's like Xasthur calling their next album Philadelphia, or Boston.

personal opinion on Azrael - not really that special.
