Not Very Metal posted:Dark funeral completely slipped my mind until I read about that album this morning. I'm enjoying re-catching up on their stuff. I've never realy been able to get into any of their stuff. What am I missing? Still yet, I'm a big Darkthrone whore and anxiously await their brand of crusty blackened material. The release Nocturno did with Sarke was pretty grand too.

I had partials of the Attera Totus Sanctus and Diabolis Interium albums (and the King Diamond (The Trial?) cover from Teach Children to Worship Satan) in a giant mp3 package from a buddy. I like a lot of my BM fast and raw, and the few songs that I had I enjoyed. Going back and listening today, there really isn't much that sets them apart imo, but it's still wholesome family style Swedish black metal. e: clarity Not Very Metal fucked around with this message at 19:00 on Sep 16, 2009 |

There's no real need to bother with Dark Funeral. You'd probably be better off listening to bands like Craft and Pest (the german one, the 'Vado Mori' album in particular) who aren't really anything special either but they manage to pretty much perfectly execute their chosen style of black metal. Also, listen to Sargatanas if you like that stuff that is basically death metal mixed with black metal. 'Knights of the Southern Cross' is a great album.

Bubble Bathory posted:Where should I start with Countess? It kinda depends what sort of black metal you like. The official Countess site ( http://www.barbarianwrath.org/Countess/ ) has two songs up from each album so that is probably the easiest way to find out what you'd like. The earlier albums are more traditional black metal and from Spawn of Steel and onwards Orlok is more or less mixing old school heavy metal with black metal.

My copy of Privilegivm arrived today and it's loving incredible. Hands-down the best Secrets of the Moon album, for my money. Can't wait to see them in a few days

Bleak, distant, atmospheric, droning goodness all around. Here, have a list of personal black metal favourites: Hirilorn - Legends of Evil and Eternal Death (epic and melodic, no homo) Manes - Under Ein Blodraud Maane (dark, slow stuff) Craft - Terror Propaganda (black 'n roll kind of stuff) Von - Satanic Blood (Really, really old school stuff, from before everyone went Norwegian) Nagelfar - Hünengrab im Herbst (weird Germans. Also check out the pirate album. And the one in between [where there is techno beats]) Aura Noir - Black Thrash Attack (Self describing)

Bleak, distant, atmospheric, droning goodness all around. It is a great album, Orlok has some amusing things to say about it as well. quote:In September and October '98 we had recorded the Revenge albums, but we didn't do much after that. We rehearsed a couple of times in early '99, but we didn't really have anything to work towards, not to mention the fact that we were all busy with other things as well, so for the remainder of the year COUNTESS didn't do anything, with the exception of the album From The Wells Of Chaos that I recorded on my own in the summer, but quickly discarded as not good enough to be put out. It is just typical Orlok. After recording two full lengths and before releasing them he recorded and discarded another full length album only to then go and write and record Shining Swords in two weeks. Also, I wonder how you program a drum machine to be sloppy.

Nothing comes close to Vediog Svaor in terms of odd black metal that still sounds good really. Except possibly Zaratustra - It Was A Night, which remains one of my favourite black metal albums despite having, well, so much wrong with it.

Lately I've been pretty much possessed by Xasthur, Leviathan, Shining, and Judas Iscariot. What's some other good black metal in the same vein?
|
# ? Sep 21, 2009 00:17 |

Firstly, make sure you have the following: Leviathan: Massive Conspiracy Against All Life (x1000), The Blind Wound, the Xasthur/Leviathan split (this is all I have, I should really expand it, but these are all excellent) Xasthur: Nocturnal Poisoning (not so keen on the rest) Shining: Everything You may want to check out recent Mutilation, particularly Sorrow Galaxies. I haven't explored the genre nearly as well as it deserves, so I don't think I can offer much more in that particular vein. As far as more mainstream depressive stuff goes, Songs to Leave by Forgotten Tomb is a mainstay.

OK, I need the most knowledgeable metalheads to crawl out of the woodwork and help me with this one. The song Abigor - Liberty Rises a Diagonal Flame has lyrics to it, but almost incomplete in the book that comes with the CD, and are the same all over the internet. I would like to get the complete lyrics to this song and cannot for the life of me find them, ANY help would be appreciated. The lyrics go something like this: Oh withering serpent, you all shall be enthroned in metal in the end, where liberty rises a diagonal flame encountered by source [4 lines of something] [3 lines of something] Deconstruction of fundamental nominalism - Total confusion of the self Is this land in God's possession - This land of frost No boundaries - Ultimate consequence shall be death Finally good and evil count down their death good and evil just watches [something] No bitterness - just empty shells of human flesh - No creation without a room - No being without a point of reference...

So, Secrets of the Moon were pretty good. Didn't see the transvestite bassist coming though. Solstafir were loving phenomenal. I have not heard them before (and apparently they don't sound as good on record) but holy poo poo. edit: I am listening to Köld on Spotify and yeah it sounds good. Omg.

Dude missed another good Leviathan split, the one with Sapthuran. His Massive Conspiracy Against All Life sounds a bit like late Deathspell Omega, whose latest few releases have been loving amazing.

Argharus (thanks, Caucasus Belli!) sound like Shining and the album "Pleištas" is very good. You'll probably also like The Ruins of Beverast. I love their/his album "Unlock the Shrine". And Nortt are more kind of funeral doom than black metal, but if you like Xasthur, they're definitely worth a go.

Also sounds like they're throwing back to the early days style-wise, which is fine by me. Asklund is a beast on the kit too.

Agree with all of that. 78 Days In The Desert from Köld is one of the best instrumental album intros i've heard in ages, and I'm really glad they opened the set with all 8 minutes of it. On reflection, we may have been wrong about the SOTM bassist though:

I was actually a little disappointed with the new Gorgoroth clips, but as mentioned it might the production. It sounded a little different than what I expected. My bandmate saw them live at the Hole in the Sky festival in Bergen a few weeks ago, and apparently they kicked all kinds of rear end.
