The Thread Where You Talk About Music You Like

I own Emperor's Discography minus the last one. They were my introduction to Black Metal. I have century media to thank for that. They were having a sale, $5 an Emperor cd. So i got 'em all except for their last one.
 
now i know no one here likes slipknot but how bout stone sour?

and anyone know any good watchmaker or cattle decapitation albums?

(and i realize this isn't the reccomendations thread to save all of you the trouble of contradicting me)

paysage d'hiver's steineiche demo is excellent, what else should i get by this band?

Pretty much everything is excellent, but my personal favourite is Kristall & Isa. Although I haven't heard the split with Lunar Aurora, no doubt that will be well worth checking out.

Check out Borknagar. They're hard to get into, but if you give the effort you will be rewarded twelve-thousand-fold.

Agreed. They struck me as sort of bland when I heard them the first time, but they have since grown drastically on me. I like all their Vintersorg work best.

Because I am a newb and have only just begun to relize howgreat black metal can be, I have been hearing alot of good, but old albums for the first time in the last few weeks. I just finished listening to Bergtatt by Ulver and Dark Medeival Times by Satyricon and they both fucking rule.

Black metal is a great genre. I like better than death metal because it has more of an otherworldly feel to it.

I only just got into black metal also. The only genre I haven't really dived that deep into yet is progressive metal.

plus you know all those other genres outside of metal

I still maintain that progressive, like avant garde, cannot be a genre in itself, but a way of furthur defining a band from another sub-genre of metal.
 
I watched 1349, Zyklon and Enslaved on Thursday. :kickass:

1349 - enjoyable enough I suppose, but utterly unoriginal.

Zyklon - actually fairly dull at times. I find a lot of their riffs pretty monotonous and uninspired, and the drum beats tend to be a bit boring as well. Forgettable death metal.

Enslaved - they're one of the most majestic live bands I've seen, every time. They totally conquered the night, and played a great mix of old and new. The sound across the whole night was fantastic, the venue was a converted church and everything sounded spot on. I love Enslaved's new material, it's great.
