het posted:Zelezo Krvaci was great as was their earlier work but their most recent album was an enormous letdown. It didn't grab me as much as earlier stuff and worse they started adding stupid poo poo like completely out-of-place female vocals. ISTR pseudo-clean male vocals too but I'm not certain. Yeah I dunno, I like the latest album well enough. I think the sewer stuff is amusing but it's not like it affects the music at all.

Just as I suspected from what I had heard on their myspace page, the debut EP, 'Open The Gates of Hell' from Christ Beheaded (Demiricous & The Gates of Slumber) is great. Any fans of both Dissection or Watain should definately check it out. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=382628195

They're only really notable for the time and place they were active and the influence they had on later bands. It's worth listening to but honestly everything they've done has been bettered by countless other bands.

I haven't seen them mentioned in the thread anywhere, so I'll throw out Trelldom as a really good band. Or at least a band with a really good album: Til Et Annet... is classic BM sound (Darkthrone, Burzum, Taake etc) that's just catchy as poo poo. Also features Gaahl on vocals, I just now saw that. Anyway highly recommended for the old school appeal.

The most accessible from that list are: Arcturus - La Masquerade Borknager - s/t ...And Oceans - The Dynamic Gallery Enslaved (I'd actually recommend Mardraum: Beyond The Within from them, or Blodhemn for more straight up viking metal) Linear Scaffold is quite good too In the Woods and Maudlin of the Well I've never been able to get into, they jump around a little too much or something :/ I'm not familiar with most of the other bands but I can tell Misogynist knows his poo poo so I'll be checking some of them out as well

...In The Woods can be pretty sketchy in the studio, but comes out much better live. Check out Live At The Caledonian Hall. It does the tracks on Omnio justice. Also Vulture Industries - The Dystopia Journals, especially if you like Garm-esque vocals.

I know Darkthrone isn't really BM anymore, but they're darkthrone so gently caress you. Their new album is loving awesome. Definitely their best of the crustpunk sound. Some songs even reach right into the 80's thrash closet. Oath Minus could pass for an old metallica B-side. Norway in September too, it loving rules.Not Very Metal posted:Hell yeah, I discovered them a couple of months ago as well. I've only got Till Minne, how is Til Et Annet?

So Gaahl's come out of the closet finally. Personally I say being gay makes him more black metal since few things are as anti-christian as sodomy. There's an interview up on blabbermouth. He talks about the guy he tied up and thrashed for a day. He says the guy was sent after him after an altercation he had in jail during his first stint, and the stories in the paper were just stories. I guess he didn't want to talk about it and make a stink because that would be weak, handled his business on his own. het posted:Yeah, I'm digging it and noticed the thrash aspect too.

I think it's great and hilarious at the same time. It's been an open secret in Norway for a long time that he's gay. And when you're making dresses with this guy, I guess it shouldn't come as a surprise: http://pub.tv2.no/multimedia/na/archive/00617/Dan_De_Vero_og_Gaah_617588b.jpg I don't think he cares what other people think about it though. And most people don't mind at all, even within the "scene".

I haven't heard Til Minne yet, but if it's anything like Til Et Annet then I need to Annet is 'catchy' black metal the same way as Taake's debut or A Blaze in the Northern Sky. Man, Gaahl's a sensitive artist all right I remember there was a series of interviews on youtube with him, he took the crew up to the top of this mountain, like above the treeline, and showed them this little hut that his grandfather built and lived in or something. So that means he had to haul up all the wood and stuff to built it. That's pretty goddamn metal.

Man that interview's awesome. In the last segment he's whining that nobody understands his art or whatever and one of the guys says 'well show me, teach us.' In response Gaahl sits and stares at him for like 45 seconds then *sip* of his wine. Roll motherfucking credits.

It's been analysed to death before but the conventional black metal satanist take on that is that he wasn't whining - that he feels superior to the subhuman scum (including those interviewing him) that just don't get what it's about (i.e. self-reliance etc) and what does the interviewer do? "Show me show me" in a complete antithesis of what he had been trying to explain.

Also the vocalist from Peccatum released a new album under the name Starofash (It's Ihsahn's wife!) It's similar to Peccatum without the metal aspects so its still worth checking out.

I was a Viking, which is my default 'quickie' Halloween costume. e.g. Check calendar, see what day it is, freak that you didn't plan anything, spy the cheapo plastic Viking helmet you got in May for Syttende Mai, plop that on head, wear your 'NORWAY' rugby jersey (again, a Syttende Mai fashion statement), and you have a costume!
