If you like the sort of melodic black metal you should really listen to Barathrum's "Legions of Perkele". I will concede that "Eerie" is the best Barathrum album, but it is pretty different from Legions.

Thanks both, will do! On a side note: I've mentioned them in the other metal thread but they fit better here - A Forest of Stars is beautiful, atmospheric, prog/experimental (so Last says anyway) black metal, and the album The Corpse of Rebirth is one of the better I've heard recently.

I can only hear the drums and an occasional guitar/bass line besides the singer. It's like the guitarist was in the next room or something

I think the new Peste Noire is awesome, but then again, I am a huge, squealing PN fanboy. Not a blastbeat to be found, but so what - it rules. If you haven't checked out last year's Storming Darkness release Sin-Thesis, do yourself a favor and grab it. Just loving blasting hateful no-bullshit Russian black metal. Just grabbed Negative Plane's Et In Saecula Saeculorum and am duly impressed. LOUD drums, mostly slower pace, killer ultra-echoed vocals, and an awesome old-school vibe permeate. Recommended. Ars Manifestia released The Red Behind last January. Get it on sight.

I've never had any interest in black metal, until I heard Dimmu Borgir's "The Sacrilegious Scorn." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9cqKafnUrk I usually listen to IDM, ambient, and dubstep, so this is kind of a new thing for me, but goddamn that is a song. The bassist's vocals really help to balance things out.

He also sang for Borknagar (on the album Quintessence) and Arcturus (everything after like 2003), so maybe you'd like those? Borknagar - Colossus - Bad sound quality, but you get the idea. A lot more folky than Dimmu Borgir, but still rad, in my opinion. A lot of their stuff is closer to black metal than this. Arcturus - Hufsa - Again, kinda folky metal, way more avant garde, not really black metal at all. But, it's got Vortex on vocals so hey VVV I'm just throwing out stuff since he liked Vortex's vocals. I don't want to go on record as saying that either of these are good examples of black metal or are even good examples of the bands themselves. I don't even like Arcturus at all.

What an embarrassment that video is. The music has very little to do with black metal as well, it's just extreme symphonic metal with laughable harsh vocals.

In the vein of ICS Vortex with Dimmu Borgir you might wanna check out the song, "The Insight and the Catharsis." He single-handedly makes that song amazing. Also check out "The Kings of the Carnival Creation," he sings some really awesome parts in that one as well. I don't think Dimmu has ever been considered "real" BM. They've always had symphonic elements with harsh vocals. I Brake For MILFs fucked around with this message at 01:18 on Apr 9, 2009 |

I may very well be late to the scene, but besides Absu's release, I'm calling Cobalt's Gin the black metal release of the year thus far. While it's post/progressive flare is fresh and creative, they've ( I understand it's a duo) really pay tribute to the classics.

And even though they were never really trve kvlt they helped me get into BM. To this day the original Stormblast is one of my favorite records ever.

Filosofem is great, all you have to do is stop the CD 10 minutes into Rundgang (or chop it down into a 10 minute track) and you got yourself a cool album. No need to tinker with Hvist Lyset Tar Oss however....

Is there stuff that sounds like early Lord Belial? I mean, there's bits in October Falls that are kind of like what I'm looking for - mid-tempo and semi-melodic I guess.

I have been having trouble finding good black metal lately, everything I can find seems to be crappy Cradle of Filth knockoffs who claim to be Black Metal. Well today I discovered Dawn of Relic, and they are exactly what I've been looking for. Anyone got any other recommendations to similar black metal like Dawn of Relic, that's you know, good?
