The Thread Where You Talk About Music You Like

Well, I say I was 'one of the doubters' but I always liked it, I just thought people were going a bit over the top. That's still the case to an extent, I don't think it's quite the 'best BM album in years' that people branded it as, but it rules.

Anyone know where i can find Asphyx's Embrace The Death (aside from the Century Media distro site)?

I think "Si Momentum" is the best black metal album in years. The moment I sat down and turned on "First Prayer", I was just awe-struck and I didn't stop listening until "Malign Paradigm" was finished. It just haves everything! Hateful energy, it's intelligent, great vocals, interesting riffs, superb drum-work, the best lyrics in a black metal release ever, an eerie and evil atmosphere. Everything! I'm even contemplating adding it to my "top ten of all time list". And just the picture on page 8 in the booklet makes it worth the fifteen bucks.

And I can't believe I have to be at work tomorrow at seven, and here I'm sitting browsing a message board. Not clever.

Si Monumentum is realy magnificent, but I'm starting to enjoy Inquisitors of Satan a lot more.

Considering *this season* is when they became well-known (relatively speaking), it's no wonder more people started to bash them (not to mention fellate them). "Suicidal Emotions" is Burzum for goths though, really. Their old stuff is pretty derivative too, though not quite as... well... gay.

"Burzum for goths"... it's a wonder why more people don't take you seriously.

Happiness - where are you?
Will this grief be swept away?

Si Monvmentvm... still surprises me every time I listen to it, and that is a lot.

I generally agree with the bashers of Abyssic Hate, they're pretty trite, but there are a few decent moments here and there.

well I like SE, and im not a goth...

 

[Doomwatcher]

The material from the Abyssic Hate demos is decent Burzum worship at best.

Black Mayonnaise - Ttssattsr is an outstanding release. It might sound like a joke, but it's actually really really evocative sludgy atmospheric stuff. Repeating, echoing kick-snare drum programming, sludgiest-of-the-sludge guitar riffs, weird textural keyboard atmospheres, and the weirdest fucking pitch-shifted vocals ever. Definitely check it out.

Yes you are.

Of course you are!

Falkenbach is defnitely a must buy, kicking my ass right now...

And I just bought the Nemesis Ocvlta, I'm not saying that it is great, but definitely worth buying and good shit it is. The bass is just amazing too and the riffs, good.

 

[Episteme]

Listening to Nokturnal Mortum's Weltanschauung right now. I'll come back later once I've listened to it a couple more times. Doesn't seem so bad right now, although there are intros for just about every song...Great use of Ukrainian folk instruments.

Cool! If you can give us a list of albums you're looking to buy next time you do so, post it and we'd (AS IN ME MAYBE OTHER PEOPLE) help you narrow it down.

Thanks! Well, I'm still on the hunt for Arghoslent - Incorrigible Bigotry, The Chasm - Deathcult for Eternity, Psycroptic - Scepter of the Ancients, Necrophagist - Onset of Putrefaction, Dark Angel - Darkness Descends, Deathspell Omega - Si Monumentum Requires, Circumspice, Destroyer666 - Phoenix Rising...

I think those albums are clearly said in this forum already...

 

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

All of those albums are great.

Seeing how you're in Asia, I assume it'd be cheaper to mailorder within Asia and maybe from Australia than from Europe or the US. Here's some links that should help you find what you need.

T.H.A (Japan)
GoatorwaRex (Australia)
Asphyxiate Recordings (Australia)
Apcalyptor Records (Australia)


Arghoslent - Incorrigible Bigotry
Apocalyptor has this on CD and Asphyxiate will have it on LP soon.

The Chasm - Deathcult for Eternity
Got this from Relapse... havent had much luck elsewhere.

Psycroptic - Scepter of the Ancients
Got this from the band themselves... seems to be the cheapest way.

Deathspell Omega - Si Monumentum Requires, Circumspice
GoatowaRex has this.

Destroyer666 - Phoenix Rising
I think T.H.A has this.

 

[RosesofShadow]

^ Woah! Thanks Decadent! Those links are very useful, I'm gonna check it out. My only problem is I don't have a credit card and I don't want to have one. I'll just ask some friends to order it from me there... And yes, hopefully shipping is much cheaper there...

 

[Nico]

Credit card isnt even accepted by any of those

Bank Transfer, IMO or cash is the only way to go it seems.

Morta Skuld's "Dying Remains" is an enjoyable slab of old-school mid-paced DM from 1993, though a little predictable. Quality is in the execution rather than the ideas, but I imagine fans of anything from Carnage to Vore will find this one enjoyable for at least a few listens.
