The Greek scene definitely isn't talked about enough either.

Is it my cue already?

I never knew much about the Greek scene. What are the best bands?

VARATHRON, Necromantia, Nocternity, Rotting Christ, Septic Flesh,Macabre Omen. There are other lesser known ones that are also quite good.

 

[wagontrain]

Nocternity is outstanding.

 

[skeptik]

Thou Art Lord needs to be mentioned, their earliest material matches other high points of the early Greek Black Metal movement.

That said, four of my most prized musical items comes from Greece now, namely the original copy of Varathron - His Majesty At The Swamp, Necromantia/Varathron - Black Arts Lead To Everlasting Sins, Thou Art Lord/Ancient Rites split 7", and Thou Art Lord - Archaes Diabolos Legeones 7".

Try Bartok- Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta for mind blowing shit.

I don't think Dave needs any more "amazing, mind blowing" shit

 

[Cythraul]

Okay okay, not every but most.

You fucking listen to Kamelot.

 

[King Richard]

LOL I'm the last thing from a "burzum fan". I find most burzum fans to be pretentious and extremely arrogant.

That sure sounds like someone familiar.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

That sure sounds like someone familiar.

who is that? :zombie:

 

[Thoth-Amon]

No one EVER talks abut Amok. Insane band that blends grindcore and black metal. A better Anaal Nathrakh if I may say it.

 

[KevenZ]

No joke. First four Burzum albums are masterpieces. Really I can only think of maybe half a dozen metal bands that are as good as or better than Burzum.

why people are drooling so much on burzum and darkthrone on this board? I don't get it.

it's like drooling on Lethal Weapon trilogy or Die Hard trilogy.

both were great back in the days but there is more interesting stuff to hear/watch these days.

Darkthrone is more like the Godfather trilogy. Which is very good.

Nothing's wrong with Kamelot

 

[Jimmy... Dead.]

Thoth, can you recommend 2-3 more pieces like this?

I listened to this and I loved it.

sorry everyone. I know this has nothing to do with this thread...um... black metal!

Because they are both excellent and classic bands.

From the same composer or just similar pieces? Hmmmm... well that is a rather unique work but some other pieces you may want to look into would include:
Shostakovich- Sym. 10
Bartok- Piano Concertos 1-3 (especially number 2); Sting Quartets 1-6 (especially the last 2).
Penderecki- Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima
Stravinsky- The Rite of Spring
Ligeti- Reqieum; Atmospheres
Ives- The Unanswered Question
Gorecki- Sym. 2 & 3

I wouldn't say that these works are all similar to that Bartok piece but they are all 20th century works that are very dark and powerful, so you should enjoy them.

Not to sound mean but you really move slow on bands dont you. Not a bad thing though.
