[sweet majestic darkness]

I forgot to comment on the albums I listen.

Soul Reaper "Written In Blood"...great album overall

Opeth "My Arms, Your Hearse" and "Deliverence"..DAMN! I haven't heard a bad Opeth Album yet. These two are heavy, both musically and emotionally. I also watched the "Lamentations" DVD finally yesterday, very impressed with it. Very mesmerizing.

Behemoth "Zos Kia Cultus"...good death metal.

Shakti, w/ John McLaughlin...non-metal, kin d of jazzz rock stuff. very impressive to me.

Obscenity "Cold Blooded Murder"...first time i have heard these guys, I would like to hear more.

Pelican "Austrilasia"...very good instrumental album.

Unleashed "Where No Life Dwells"...also, first time i have heard these guys, I would like to hear more.

Dimmu Borgir "For All Tid"...i have heard this one before, also impressive. a must own for every Dimmu Borgir fan.

 

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

Well currently I'm spunking my boxers over...

Watain - Casus Luciferi
Nattefrost - Blood and Vomit
Deathspell Omega - Inquisitors of Satan
Blood Red Throne - Affiliated With The Suffering
Amon Amarth - Once Sent From The Golden Halls
Morgion - Cloaked By Ages, Crowned In Earth
Ulver - Nattens Madrigal

I would ask for recommendations but to be honest, I have no idea of what I really want at the moment

• Watain is great
  I've been wanting to hear that Nattefrost album
  DS Omega's albums are all excellent
  Blood Red Throne is great
  That Morgion album is absolutely godly

As for recommendations...based on what you like already:

• Amduscias' solitary self-titled album. Excellent Japanese BM
  Maniac Butcher's Lucan - Antikrist album. Good Czech BM
  Wall of Sleep's Slow, But Not Dead album. Great trad. doom...and...
  Axis of Advance. Either of their albums. Canadian 'militant' black/death

Good idea for the thread.

I try.

It'd be cool if people recommended more brutal tech death, avantgarde metal, black metal with excellent songwriting, I already know quite afew, more wouldn't hurt at all.

Brutal tech death: Vomit Remnants, Dripping, Alienation Mental, Mithras, Disavowed
Avant-Garde: Kekal (weird psychedelic drum machine BM/prog), Teen Cthulhu (symphonic hardcore, but avant-garde nonetheless), Earl Shilton (Bolt Thrower drummer's side project), !T.O.O.H.! (progressive-sounding grind)
Black Metal with excellent songwriting: Astrofaes, Gontyna Kry, Ashen Light, Thunderbolt, Weakling, Silencer

Non-metal:

Estradasphere (avangarde, a mix of metal, jazz, oldies, hardcore, big band, hip-hop and some other genres) - Buck Fever

Excellent band. All 3 of their albums are amazing, schizophrenic, and sound great.

...and Oceans - Into The Dynamic Gallery of Thoughts

The Dynamic Gallery of Thoughts is one of the most brilliant and underrated symphonic black albums every spawned.

Can anyone suggest any starter death metal bands that don't sound like carbon copies of each other?

Certainly.

Intestine Baalism - A Banquet in the Darkness
Cephalectomy - Eclipsing the Dawn
Akercocke - Choronzon
Morbid Angel - Blessed Are the Sick
Anata - The Infernal Depths of Hatred
Cynic - Focus
All the stuff Ultimate Symphony said, with 5 stars next to Elvenefris.
etc.

...Isn't this thread just "General Music Discussions"????

Sure.

My recent purchases/noteworthy bands and albums:

Purchases:
Blut aus Nord - The Work Which Transforms God
Sleep - Dopesmoker
Abgott - Fizala
Electric Wizard - Let Us Prey

[no country for old wainds]

Nehemah - Shadows of the Past
Blut Aus Nord - Ultima Thulee
Ad Hominem - A New Race For A New World
Veles - The Black Ravens Flew Again

Hmm, how do these compare to Light of a Dead Star, The Work Which Transforms God, Planet Zog: The End and Black Hateful Metal respectively?

 

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

Hmm, how do these compare to Light of a Dead Star, The Work Which Transforms God, Planet Zog: The End and Black Hateful Metal respectively?

I only know how Blut aus Nord's Ultima Thulee compares, and they're almost equal in goodness, yet quite different in sound. Where TWWTG utilized a detached atmosphere, weird guitar riffs, and astoundingly technical drumming, Ultima Thulee has some folk-y parts, ambient passages (TWWTG isn't unfamiliar to these, but the ones on UT are slightly more peaceful, or something to that effect).

 

[Slayed Necros]

Hmm, how do these compare to Light of a Dead Star, The Work Which Transforms God, Planet Zog: The End and Black Hateful Metal respectively?

Light of a Dead star is probably a better release. Shadows of the Past is more in the style of the the early Norwegian bands, especially early Emperor. A good release, but nothing spectacular. Ultima Thulee is more experimental, contains alot of keyboard laden, epic passages and a bit of ambience in some of the tracks. And as always, the dissonant, haunting riff work. I am currently enjoying this more than TWWTG, definitely check it out. I also find the newer Ad Hominem superior to Planet Zog: The End. It's very similar, but I find myself enjoying A New Race.... more. The Veles is excellent, like Black Hateful Metal, it's full of hatred, sorrowful melodies and an extreme NS influence. The production is crisp and clean, which I think enhances the mood of the album greatly. All well worth checking out.

 

[Episteme]

I've heard Discordance Axis, Brutal Truth, and Watchmaker.....is Blood Duster any good btw?

Blood Duster is horrible. Maybe it's just me because I'm not much of a grindcore person. Blood Duster is only interesting live because of their energy and absurdity of the stupid shit they sing.
