The Thread Where You Talk About Music You Like

Care to back this rubbish up with some substance?

Because their best album, Pure Holocaust, is hardly even near perfect.

Anyone know what happened to Hollenthon? 4 years without an album.... i'm beginning to worry.

That's a good question. With Vilest Worms to Dwell was a pretty decent record

 

[Crimson Velvet]

Because their best album, Pure Holocaust, is hardly even near perfect.

Pure Holocaust is pretty much the best black metal album ever recorded. And I bet you can't even think of ONE thing that is actually wrong with Damned in Black. It's got good, aggressive, fast riffs. Good vocal performance. It's kept short, which more bands in the genre should take heed of. The songs are diversive and interesting. Completely underrated... If you spent a little less time under a fucking oak with Andreas Hedlund or whatever, you'd realize this!

It lacks proper atmosphere, that is why it isn't near perfect.

Also, Pure Holocaust isn't even close to being one of the best black metal albums, for the reason of it not being 1/5 as good as Belenos - Spicilege is. I mean it is good, and a classic for sure but just not "best black metal album" material. Mind you, many would say that with how I hail Belenos.

Well, I think this discussion is over.

Not to sound like a parrot but Varathron's HMaTS is still the best, since it's 100% immersive. Written in Waters is second best

And so it should be

ved buens ende rules...pure and simple. I have yet to hear another black metal band like them. Fleurety come close at times

 

[swizzlenuts]

Ehh, Ved Buens End is much better than Fleurety

 

[unknown]

yeah they are, but Fleurety is still a pretty good band (imo)

At The Heart Of Winter is their best. Pure Holocaust is good but doesn't have enough substance to be their best.

 

[MasterOLightning]

Kenose is the worst offender of the lot. Though I guess at least it's not as long as SMR,C. Point is, it's yawnable.

No. Kenose is one of the best things recorded in the last few years. It is not at all tedious. They are only asking for you to listen to half an hour of music after all. I think many people expected it to be as accessible as SMRC and then didn't really give it the attention it deserved. Kenose - II is one of the most brilliant songs I've ever heard.

Pure Holocaust the best? hardly....

 

[Slayed Necros]

Crimson Velvet is 100% correct. Pure Holocaust utterly slays. It's better than the best of Darkthrone, and right up there with the best of Burzum and Ildjarn. As for competition from any modern black metal, well theres some, but not much. Belenos wish they wrote Pure Holocaust.

 

[Hammer of Might]

I downloaded Battles In the North a while back. I felt it was basically an inferior Pure Holocaust, but I still liked the riffing.

Why would Belenos wish they wrote a simply good album? Belenos has put our two fantastic albums, one nearly fucking perfect album, a damned good album, and three great demos.

 

[Teh Grimace]

old darkthrone > ildjarn, sry.

 

[Death Aflame]

Anyone else find Pagan Altar's vocals annoying at first, then realized that they actually blend perfectly with the music, and then liked them?

Yeah, same thing happened to me with Mercyful Fate. However I still don't like some of King Diamond's vocal lines here and there on Melissa.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Immortal > anything in the entire universe!

 

[immo]

Ehh, Ved Buens End is much better than Fleurety

Well, I think that Min Tid Skal Komme is much better than Written In Waters
