So...2008 Is Half Complete...

[General Zod]

I don't know what you're expecting under "variety" but Darkspace is basically one formula, three albums so far

Well, I had never even heard of them, prior to this thread. However, they describe themselves as, "Psychedelic / Ambient / Black Metal". When I read that, I was expecting more of an Enslaved vibe. However, aside from some of the passages that introduce the songs, this seems like straight up Black Metal. I'm just not a fan of music dominated by blast beats.

I'm listening to it now. I'm a sucker for albums with oppressive atmospheres like this.

but its sunny outside

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Yeah, but I have the AC on, so it feels like winter in here.

 

[lurch70]

makes sense ... carry on

I've given this Nachtmystium a few listens now, and I dig it. It's a bit weird of an album to be coming from a band like Nachtmystium, but it rocks none the less.

Don't think so. I believe M. Lehto said it would be released by Moribund next month sometime. Its a sure buy for me when they do.

Cool... I'll have to check moribund every day now, haha.

 

[lurch70]

Venom - Hell

WHAT?

 

[~Neurotica]

Yes.

 

[M.Lehto]

Moribund has set the release date to 08.26.2008. The only difference between this and the Debemur Morti-version is that the Moribund will release it as jewelcase and the DMP-version (1st pressing) is a digibook, the artwork is basically the same.

 

[Demilich]

Digibook!!! I know which version I'm getting!
