Anyone here familiar with Iskra? Black metal/crust punk. That combination is every bit as cool as it sounds.

It certainly didn't impress but I probably liked it better than Two Hunters. Diadem was pretty awesome. edit: actually after a second listening I'm gonna say Wolves in the Throne Room has only gone downhill. Clothes Optional fucked around with this message at 20:48 on Jan 28, 2009 |

Whatever you fuckers say I enjoyed the gig and what they played (I Will Lay Down My Bones, Queen of the Borrowed Light and Vastness and Sorrow). Nathan was very nice and I met some nice people. Didn't get it on like the two lovebirds in our party but hey. Good night anyway.

This is a given. I saw the London SepticFlesh/Moonspell/Gorgoroth/CoF gig from the luxury of the balcony which is about the only way to avoid the CoF crowd. Felt old as gently caress sitting in the balcony at a metal gig though e; I'm going to bring up Totalselfhatred because if you haven't listened to them yet, you really should.

Regarding Aura Noir - Black Thrash Attack, wow I adore this album. Caged Wrath could have been taken off an early Venom album it's so perfect. MrBling posted:More like Wolfshirts in the Dorm Room, amirite. Hahahaha, this is pretty hilarious.

I've never heard Venom before *puts up flame shield* but glad you enjoyed Aura Noir! Conqueror and the title track are probably my favorites.

The new Absu's pretty good. The songwriting's not as good as Tara but Proscriptor's fixed the production; it actually has mids and lows instead of that overproduced treble in Tara. The new Blut Aus Nord is loving fantastic. I was doubtful that Vindisval could put out a successor to Memoria Vetusta I but having listen to this album about half a dozen times, it really does feel like MVII. Definitely top 10 of 2009 material.

I'd rank it their #2 best release, Tara coming off as number one with original songs with unique production. Hopefully we get Carpathian Forest's Universal Evil sometime soon

# ? Feb 4, 2009 16:28 |

The Sun of Tiphareth was their best release and you're wrong if you think otherwise.

I've actually never heard Absu but their myspace is inexcusable. If you have an album coming out, one track doesn't cut it. Especially not when you have a back catalog that would also stand to bring people on as fans. gently caress you and your website, absu

It has some pretty annoying drum production though, and on the same theme drums that seem to overpower everything in the mix. Then again, the band leader is the drummer so it is to be expected.

Tara is their most unrelenting effort by far. The others are good, too, but most often people get disappointed with their earlier efforts when they start out with Tara because they're not as ridiculous as Tara is. EDIT: Also, Proscriptor is a ridiculous drummer, so you know the drumming is consistent throughout their efforts. deltawing fucked around with this message at 17:20 on Feb 5, 2009 |

Does the drum SOUND change on any albums? They sound so produced and sterile it kinda ruins what the band is actually doing. I've heard people despise the drums on Tara...

Hmmm, I can't really relate to the hate for the drum sound, but their new album has a lot better drum sound and production value overall. I would still highly recommend you at LEAST check out Tara and Absu.

Seconded. The Sun of Tiphareth is a fine album, but I'd start with Tara and Absu as well.

It's only one track, but the song on Absu's myspace doesn't seem so incredible to me. It's not a bad song, but nothing in it blows my mind. Plus, the production is cleaner than I'd like from a black/thrash band.

And the production IS really bright and unblack sounding.

Also, the production is fine; so what if it wasn't recorded on an 8-track player in a forest?

I actually prefer good production in my black metal, see newer Immortal and 1349 - Hellfire, or Mirrorthrone - Gangrene.
