it would be nice to see that tattoo removed along with the rest of his throat

i couldnt say it better myself.

 

[Erik]

Good spot - I must have this!! Who would have thought to look through the 'cassette' section on an on-line catalog anyway?

When one is looking for stuff from eastern/central Europe and Russia and such, it's very important to look for cassettes. A lot of stuff in those countries doesn't make it to CD but is released only on pro cassettes. Nokturnal Mortum, Negurã Bunget, Astrofaes and Mistiggo Varggoth Darkestra are all good examples.

 

[Ayeka]

Damn impressive having it on the neck like that I thought...

 

[lizard]

There are different kinds of people who call themselves national socialists.

very true. national socialists need not have the racism factor. some of our home grown nazis thrive on that, tho.

 

[Erik]

The guy pictured looks like your garden variety Southern American trailer-park KKK-type "nazi" trash who has nothing better to do than blame those damn my pals for his misery. There is zero depth and intelligence to the "beliefs" and "values" these people hold and I wouldn't mind seeing them all be killed off.

 

[Black Winter Day]

that, and the fact that people this ugly should disappear anyway

 

[Erik]

So why are you still here?




HAHAH AOMG I MAED TEH ULTIMATE FUNAY

 

[Black Winter Day]

Erik - you know that Moonsorrow demo you copied for me? Was it Tämä Ikuinen Talvi? I'm just curious as to whether the original master was lacking in quality, or whether it was specifically the copy you obtained? I've located this tape demo but I won't buy it if it is of the same quality you already gave me.

 

[Erik]

No, what I sent you was the "Metsä" demo. As far as I know, all copies sound like the one you have (don't blame me! .) I also have Tama Ikuinen Talvi which is very much studio quality in sound and probably Moonsorrow's best release in my opinion. I could copy it for you if you don't buy it.

 

[Erik]

"Metsä" is very good anyway. As far as I'm concerned, the two metal songs are great, great stuff regardless of sound quality.

 

[JayKeeley]

Thanks - they have a few other things I'm interested in so I might just order it anyway. It's that viking place in Latvia (http://www.vikings.lv/~witchcraft/elven/index2.html) and it looks like they have that Nest demo I've been after (on CD).

I like the material on Metsä too. I don't have Suden Uni by the way and I noticed that The End have the re-release in stock. Worth it do you think, or should I hunt down the original?

 

[Erik]

I don't see what's wrong with the re-release... I have the original (or, well, the second release which is almost identical to the original -- this re-release is actually the third release) since I'm hellakool. Anyway, it's a good album, but I reckon Tämä... is better.

 

[Erik]

Back on topic -- I forgot MUNRUTHEL, ambient/atmospheric/whatever project of Nokturnal Mortum's drummer of the same name. haven't heard them yet, just saw that this Latvian site has a tape release by him that I might get.

 

[Erik]

Also, Forest are from Russia and not from Ukraine. Oh well.

LUCIFUGUM
Again, this band has Nokturnal Mortum members and seems to be one of the older Ukrainan bands around. Alas, I haven't heard them yet. Working on it.

Have you heard them yet? ANyone know if Lucifugum are worth looking into?

Also, how's Temnozor and Holmgang?

 

[Lutz]

Temnozor is fucking awesome, definitely get "Horizons". One of the best folk/black metal albums I've heard.

 

[J.]

Will do, then. Thanks.

 

[J.]

haha, I got an email from Ajna Offensive today telling me the CD I ordered was sold out, so I picked that exact Lucifugum album as a replacement.

anyone heard Tumulus or Sacrilegium? I've only heard a few mp3's of Tumulus, and they were quite good folk pagan black metal thingy.

 

[spaffe]

anyone heard Tumulus or Sacrilegium? I've only heard a few mp3's of Tumulus, and they were quite good folk pagan black metal thingy.

i've heard a few songs by tumulus from their split with mock, but as far as i can recall the songs where basically long vapid heathen/viking/folk songs, didn't like it at all

speaking of ukranian metal; i'm listening to nokturnal mortum's lunar poetry atm. after hearing it once i must say it sounds pretty promising though some of the keyboard melodies sound like they where taken straight from your random 8-bit NES game. also, the clean "singing/chanting" could have been skipped with quite favourable results
