The J. and Nate thread . . .

[Nate The Great]

In this thread J. and I will discuss good black metal.



I love how new threads about black metal pop up every week or two. The old ones J. and I were using were getting kind of big. We need a new one.

Haemoth

Have you heard them J.? Brutal stuff. Sort of like Demoncy, but from France and a less death metal influence. I like 'Kontamination'. It is fairly easy to find. I also got 'Vice, Suffering, and Destruction' from Deathgasm.

Krieg - Blue Miasma

New one from these dudes. VERY good. I know some of you have heard the older stuff, but this new one is solid. Great song writing, less emphasis on extreme brutality. In fact, the brutality is barely there . . . just great black metal.

Wolfe

Slower paced and atmospheric black metal. Still forming an opinion on them.

Merrimack - Of Entrophy and Life Denial

GET THIS NOW J.!!! Best BM of the year. Traditional BM stylings, but modern sounding nonetheless. Sort of like Watain, but a little more modern, I guess.

GET THIS NOW J.!!! Best BM of the year.

You can't make such a claim without posting a sample.

I've never heard Watain.

And you start this just as I'm exploring the Neurot family of releases.

Merrimack's new album is absolutely merciless, best brutal black metal I heard in a while, definitely stronger than Antaeus on a songwriting/atmosphere level, too. I will end up buying it for sure.

 

[J.]

I'll need to look at Haemoth. Sounds like a cool something.

here's some ive been playing:

Profanum
Satanic rites in music form. Very dark. Not black metal per se, since no guitars are to be found. Black metal vocals and pianos, etc. Evil.

Kristallnacht
Elite Cult French black metal.

Helheim
The new one is really good. Thrashy death metal type riffage black metal. I even dig on Yersinia Pestis.

 

[Krilons Resa]

I had Vice, Suffering, w/e from Haemoth. While it was pretty good, totally bludgeoning, dirty, BM..I never listened to it and ended up selling it.

 

[swizzlenuts]

The new merrimack is pretty good, but it doesn't have anythign that makes me want to have repeat listens. I enjoyed the two listens, but I don't really want to go listen to it again, over and over.

 

[Ellestin]

I don't really want to go listen to it again, over and over.

I seldom want to listen to any album over and over, twould be the best way to jeopardize its long-run appeal.

 

[swizzlenuts]

Mainly saying that there is nothing where I'm like hey, I really want to listen to this album again. It's more like, hey I've heard it, and that's all that I need.

 

[circus_brimstone]

In this thread J. and I will discuss our man love for one another.

:zombie:

 

[J.]

that came to mind when i saw the title. nate wants to show me his "tractor"

 

[Krilons Resa]

He's gonna poke you in the bum with one of his cattle carcass horns. How grim is THAT!?!

We <3 you Nate.

 

[dill_the_devil]

Nate, I'm fucking loving that Merrimack sample song you posted. I'm becoming increasingly convinced that you and I have nearly identical taste in music.

Cool. Maybe I'll be able to turn you on to William Elliott Whitmore next. I'll post a sample when I get the new album in a week or so.

 

[dill_the_devil]

NP: William Elliott Whitmore - Midnight, from 'Ashes To Dust'. Did a bit of Googling and found the MP3.

Not bad - I don't think I'm ever likely to become a massive country music fan, but I always end up stomping my foot somewhat to tracks like this.

 

[skeptik]

I have the involuntary reaction to country music that it is all associated with Git-R-Done, so I don't think that I could get into country even if I tried my damnedest.
