you forgot some reference to dimmu borgir... or are they no longer relevant to mainstream blackmetal?

Brooklyn, NY’s Liturgy (not to be confused with a Chicago death metal band of the same name) deal in a style of indie black metal steeped in the genre’s most basic foundations of buzzing, dissonant guitars and whirlwind percussion, and yet they demonstrate an acute ability to make the sound firmly their own, both modern and ancient. Liturgy’s unique take on the genre only slightly recalls their NYC friends Krallice and the earlier works of the Norwegian wolves Ulver (particularly their 3rd LP masterwork Nattens Madrigal). In some sense Liturgy represents the seeping of black metal into the consciousness of the indie music world at large. The band claim influences ranging from cult black metal figures Vlad Tepes to Angelo Badalamenti to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, all of whom can be distantly identified in Liturgy’s approach.
Renihilation is the band’s debut LP, following two demo tapes and a 12 inch, Immortal Life. The album weaves intricate waves of dissonant dual guitar riffing and complex blackened harmonics between main songwriter Hunter Hunt-Hendrix and second guitarist Bernard Gann. The strange tonalities they seamlessly create providing layers of eerie dimension over which Hendrix’s tortured howls battle to be heard. The ultra-chaotic yet superbly minimalist drumming of Greg Fox, utilizing only a kick, snare and crash symbols, adds a dose of old, raw punk/grind to the mix. Several intros and interludes consisting of vocal pieces and drones break the album up into distinct sections.

Renihilation was recorded and mastered at the Thousands Caves Of Menegroth with Colin Marston of Krallice at the helm. The purposely low-res minimalist artwork recalls the work of German photographer Thomas Ruff in both aesthetic and intent. A photograph of a total eclipse, a massive celestial event, its aura being subdued and defeated by the void the low resolution of the image leaves in its wake – an apt analogy for Liturgy’s ecstatic sonic experiments.

Stumbled across this description in a webstore.

I have always said that bands like Liturgy are born from dudes attending shows with their groupie girlfriends. I'm serious and not all at once. It's complicated.

 

[lurch70]

but on the flipside I've seen BM bands that looked the part live but were hilariously bad still ... not sure we should judge these guys based on the fact that their bass player looks like Flea.

I think only Gaahl has it all down when it comes to nonconformity

I don't think anyone does really, it's the sum of all things gay that signals stay away.

Well obviously he's buried too (and not hung/still hanging) and his tombstone doesn't look like that anyway so make a hung dude just for the kool

[MajestikMøøse]

hanged (with reference to execution hanging) is actually the correct form. The rest of the time you say hung. Why? Some jurist decided that the executed are 'hanged'. It's complicated.

Ken sent me a internet petition which is false, according to snopes:

Thanks for the laugh Ken!

My father sent me it, who gets all up in arms easily over things like this.

I got it within 3 minutes of rising out of bed and just did it in a sleepy stupor.

edit: Oh, you're welcome.
