I got tickled at the short chick with the big gut that stood in the middle of SepticFlesh's wall of death. Behemoth's blood spew/dribble during the Lucifer encore kinda crowned the night fo me too. I also got to meet Orion, Inferno and Seth before the gig. All of them were cool, but Orion was particularly friendly and telling me how the heat went out on their bus last night. I understood that they will be returning to the US next fall with a new DVD to drop in the very near future. Orion is a real beast of a man and nearly crushed my hand with his deadly handshake. Nergal was on the phone. Probably talking to his new Polish pop singer squeeze to be...  Dorota Rabczewska (MEOW!!!) Can't say I'd really blame him.

I don't know if any of you caught this, but I was out at Barnes and Noble and saw Varg Vikernes staring at me.  It's the basic history of black metal with pictures and it's really cool, but I could see paying 13 dollars for something I already know.

I saw that issue too and almost bought it, but every issue of Terrorizer that I've bought has been pretty awful and for that price I could buy a new CD.

I wrote to Andy of Caïna about the lyrics to "Drilling the Spire", and certain parallels I saw with the poetry of Rimbaud (yes I know I am a pretentious idiot). He wrote me back a lovely reply, to which I will reply in due course. Extract below:quote:I'm really glad that the EP spoke to you in some way, particularly as it's been (partly deliberately) alienating for some of my listeners. For someone who is intensely self-critical, I still think it's the strongest thing I've released to date, though hopefully the forthcoming EP and album (this year and next) will top it. [Hurrah! New stuff on the way!] I was very impressed to get such a cogent, informative and pleasant reply. I know that EP had a few fans in this thread so just thought I'd share. I have also been singing "We built our church upside-down / Drilled the spire deep into the mud" to myself fairly often over the past fortnight. That lyric has got itself stuck into my head, somehow.

Bands that are similar to Taake to me would be: Kampfar, Koldbrann, Urgehal, Mgła. The last two are kind of similar in style but unless you're looking for that 'pagan nature whatever' mood to the music, don't bother. I enjoyed the new Caïna EP, any of their other material like this? 'Post Black Metal'? also wouldn't mind learning about some BM bands who don't focus entirely on negative emotions(Although I do realize the genre mostly focuses around this) and maybe chuck in some psychedelia or post rock or just anything different!

I have no idea if metal mags do that, however, it's still a pretty good read and does have a section on bands around the world. So, for someone who doesn't spend all day on SA/metal forums asking for recommendations it's not bad. I Brake For MILFs fucked around with this message at 17:27 on Jan 16, 2010 |

Im not sure your style but do give Jotunspor a try. I really did like that project. They only have one album.

Not at all similar to Caina but check out Fleurety, Ved Buens Ende, ...and Oceans, and The Sprawlcosm. They're all extremely unique "post-black metal."

I haven't heard the new stuff, only Nattestid Ser Porten Vid and Over Bjoergvin Graater Himmelrik. I do really enjoy those two, so I'll check out Hordaland as well. I don't really care one way or another about lyrical content in BM, (hopefully I can say that without dredging up the NSBM poo poo again), and Taake has a really neat almost prog type songwriting that I can't really get enough of. I got a fix with Carpathian Forest, but they have no where near the songwriting talent of Taake. Big thanks for the other rec's too; I've heard of Ragnarok, but never gave them a listen. Kampfar rules, and this Aetherius Obscuritas sounds pretty interesting. I'm smelling a long day of nothing at work today, so I shouldn't have trouble getting into all of these.

Morbid Florist posted:boy they love darkthrone huh Orlok has always been influenced by NWOBHM and old traditional metal, if it is that sort of rocking sound you're referring to. I think it started to really shine through in the song writing around 97 and it really came to the forefront around 2001. It is nothing new certainly. Otherwise I don't really see that many similarities with darkthrone.

Speaking of German black metal I have Ylem now. It's better than Eidolon, if you liked Eidolon go and buy Ylem immediately. If you're the sort to prefer Stab Wounds/Séance over Eidolon, check it out anyway, there's plenty there to appreciate. Morean will never be Azathoth, but he's loving amazing in his own right and he's really come into his own with this album.

I've been waiting to hear someone's opinion on it. I ordered the CD/shirt package, but I've been really anxious to hear it. Eidolon was easily one of my top 5 black metal releases in many moons.

I know most of you don't like Dimmu Borgir, but it has been my gateway to metal and is still a favorite, despite their last album. from Nuclear Blast e-mail I got posted:DIMMU BORGIR - WORKING ON HUGE, EPIC AND PRIMAL NEW ALBUM! Kind of interesting how this is going to be, now that they fired the 2 most melodic guys (Vortex, clean vocals and Mustis, their keyboardist) not even a year ago.

I've come to the conclusion that Engram was basically the best black metal album of the 2000's, although I was initially skeptical when I first heard people saying it. It's like Nuclear Holocausto came full circle from his time making music outside of black metal and everything that he learned over the years culminated in the recording of this album. I'm definitely curious to hear what other people have to say about it.
