Mudflap McDirt posted:Like I said, I am working on a full length recording now (and I think the songs are higher quality than this one - I spent maybe a day on Vuki ot lesa), which I will probably leak via SA when it's done. This song was mostly for me to learn digital recording techniques, since I am completely used to analog machines. Ensrug has been around for a while, but I am just now introducing it to the internet. This is awesome man I really like it. Hurts to hear that you are going from Analog to digital though. If you mean stepping away from 4-tracks and using computer programs to record then that is cool, just dont start doing direct recordings with the guitar and bass. That really kills the sound. Anyhow, keep this up and make some notice here on SA about the album.

So i got really bored today and decided to make something terrible. http://files.totallynotgayporn.co.uk/Sentralvarme.7z It's not supposed to be serious, the vocals are supposed to have too much delay on them, but really, any tips would be good.

I got my hands on some Windir due to the praise in this thread. On my way through Soknardalr. Where has this poo poo been my whole life? Aside from the music overall, which kicks tons of rear end, this is one of the first instances of a clean chanted vocal part I can actually get down to. Anyone else have this problem with some viking and folk metal? Bubble Bathory fucked around with this message at 09:48 on Dec 14, 2009 |

Windir has techno in Journey to the End, and I love the gently caress out of that song. It's a shame Valfar died; he was a brilliant musician. At least we have Cor Scorpii and Mistur continuing on with a similar sound.

The synth in the beginning isnt doing it for me. Turn the delay hells down and make some more tracks. My best advice to anyone could be to just not post every time you make a song to people - places. Get something good together, Demo, EP, Album, then put it all out there at once. Otherwise you just become another dude with a MySpace band.

so im just starting to get into black metal. I've alwasy dug stoner/sludge, old school thrash, and stuff like that (Slayer, Mastodon, High on Fire, Pig Destoryer, Clutch, CoC, eyehategod, Fu Manchu, Kyuss etc) Anyways, instead of looking through 50 odd pages, i was hoping osmeone could show me where to start with melodic and mid-tempo black metal. What i always like about the genre is the atmosphere building stuff. I mean, I know burzum is kinda a taboo band (i guesss esp since im jewish) but i dig Dunkelheit. love the sinister tone and imagery the music creates. maybe melodic black metal meet sludge with a touche of ambiance? man thats a sub-sub-sub genre if i ever heard one.

It's actually among the exact bands you're looking for.

My most relevant picks the first two, the rest are pretty much 'I guess you could try this' picks. Oubliette - Nadezda Mutiilation - Sorrow Galaxies Peste Noire - La Sanie des siècles - Panégyrique de la dégénérescence, also try Phalènes et Pestilence - Salvatrice Averse, which is one of their demos. Sworn - The Alleviation Mortifera - Vastiia Tenebrd Mortifera Walknut - Graveforests and Their Shadows Some individual songs. Mayhem - Freezing Moon Hate Forest - With Fire and Iron And since you mentioned Stoner, I'm sure I don't have to mention this, but you should listen to Electric Wizard - Dopethrone if you haven't.

Pretty much all black metal is considered "taboo" by someone. It's definitely not an average form of music and this attracts more extreme people. I don't read too deep into Varg Vikerne's lyrics because I could give a poo poo less about what he believes. I just enjoy his music and that's that. Same with Dissection and many other bands...

thanks, i plan to listen to all your recommendations. and I was kidding about the 'taboo' comment, i honestly don't care about Varg's insane NAZI-ideals but i do find the whole Norwegian black metal thing in the 90's pretty loving fascinating from an outsiders perspective, esp American. and yea - "Dopethrone" is an album as heavy as concrete-boots in quicksand.

I'm more into black metal than death metal, but I'm a fan of both Burzum and Dissection--both bands have produced fantastic music. I ignore Varg's National Socialism because his music is great, and I ignore Dissection's theistic Satanism because I'm an atheist and don't believe in fairy tales. Listen to what you like; don't let a perceived taboo scare you off. Seconding the Peste Noire recommendation; I love that band.

The funny part is that none of his actual song lyrics seem to have any racist, anti-semitic or nazi content, whatsoever. Germanic mythology, general misanthropy, and abstract gloominess, yes. But you'd never know he'd ever had any questionable ideas about race or politics if all you had to go on was his lyrics.

The nazi thing got much more rampant when he was in prison, I think. I don't remember him making a lot of racist/nationalist statements before that. Considering he was considered pubilc enemy number one in the early nineties, it was first page material when he started ranting about nationalism. So at the time he was making music, he was not a nazi, or at least not open about it.

Did anyone know that apparently Grand Belial's Key have reunited? They're playing at Hammer Open Air next summer. Looking at the line-up (GBK, Pagan Altar, The Devil's Blood, Urfaust, Ad Hominem, Goatmoon, Celestia...), I think I might look for affordable tickets to Helsinki in June.

However, if you spend 20 seconds on his website or see some of the shirt's he's selling any idiot can tell what he's up too.

I enjoy it, but there are a lot of faults; the production is too clean, Asklund is kind of boring on drums. I find the songs interesting, but with an element of "trying too hard." It's probably my least favorite Gorgoroth album, but I still listen to it fairly regularly. e:wow that sounds completely contradictory. I'll try to clarify: I miss King's writing and Gaahl's vocals.

I've been listening to black metal for the past 15 years or so and i just can't find it as anything but silly. I'm not too keen on the synths at the start either, i didn't really want to cut them, and they fit during the rest of the track, but i'm a little at a loss with what to do with them in the intro, i might dredge through my vsts and see if i can find anything worthwhile to replace them with. As for being a dude with a myspace band, this is what i've been doing for ages now, and i'm pretty comfortable with it. It's not something i interest in persuing live and such, at least not black metal, i just make whatever the mood takes me for fun and practice.
