I certainly don't mean that Black Metal is dead, but the phrase "true norwegian" black metal is redundant and worthless. Almost all BM coming out from Norway these days are boring crap. Yes there are great releases, but they don't play traditional "true" black metal.

Huh - and now I know that if you attach the WRONG PICTURE, you then can't remove it.  This was supposed to be a picture of a kitten. A fierce True Norwegian Black Metal kitten. It is not. So enjoy Borknagar instead. They're kittens in their hearts. Or something. LARS IS SO KAWAII DESU DESU ^_________^ Qu Appelle fucked around with this message at 19:43 on Nov 18, 2008 |

I might make the trip out to Orlando to see them. Enslaved was phenomenal when I saw them with Dark Funeral, essentially turned me into a fan overnight.

If Enslaved plays old poo poo on tour along with new stuff that would totally be worth catching. Eld was great, and I'd do a lot of things to see Havenless played live.

Peter Beste's book is fantastic! I pre-ordered it off Amazon several months before it was out. I expected a book of photos - what I got was fricking huge epic tome! The book is massive. And that is some of the most awesome corpse paint ever.

I think my most favorite picture out of the whole book is the one with who I believe is Faust from Emperor in his front yard with his daughter running around in all pink. Just looking at it, its kind of a weird inverse.

Why does nobody like the newer Gorgoroth albums? They're awesome as far as I'm concerned, they're just not as easy listening as the earlier output.

In the back it has some of the whole Euronymous/Varg Vikernes thing (letters, magazine articles, newletters etc) and a few quotes in stuff throughout the book and a foldout timeline of Black Metal but it is mainly a photo book. I would totally recommend it though. That and 'Lords of Chaos'. Anyone else with any book recommendations? Has anyone seen any documentaries that are worth watching? (Amazon is always suggesting DVDs but I don't want to purchase any if they suck).

Newer gorgoroth is arguably better than their old poo poo. Ad Majorem is hands down my favorite album of theirs. I can't wait to see what the new band starts putting out.

I agree that their old stuff played more recently, live, is incredible. I like gaahl's vocals better and maybe the band learned to play their poo poo better since recording. But Twilight and Ad Majorem are loving awesome.

Chromaplasm posted:Question: It varies a lot from one band to the next. In the case of Gorgoroth, they have a neoclassical thing going on, it's mostly expressive. Listening to a Gorgoroth album, to me, is an emotional journey, and I rate it on how it moves me. The newer albums have great atmosphere, and they never sacrifice the mood/story/concept/whatever to just insert riffs for the sake of being catchy, which they did on some of their earlier stuff. Edit: in the case of say, Old Man's Child, the entire idea of the music is just to be catchy, so I'd rate it like that. With something like early Satyricon, I'd rate it on both these scales at once. 02-6611-0142-1 fucked around with this message at 01:09 on Nov 21, 2008 |
