I'll be at the Orlando show for sure but I might also go to the Tampa show too. More for Corpse though and not so much 1349.

I haven't heard the bonus track before (it's a cover of Burzum's A Lost Forgotten Sad Spirit), so that'll be cool. I'm also really looking forward to seeing Taake live in a couple of months.

I bought it on eBay from a guy in Italy for $26. Kinda pricey, I guess, but I'm a sucker for special edition stuff (double gatefold 180g vinyl, different cover art, etc). Also, I got a pretty good deal on shipping since I bought several records from the same guy.

Yeah, NMD is less retarded over-reactive than Games/TVIV post-Barnyard where even mentioning that the internet exists can get you a probation for piracy, but don't post links. Also... how is Finntroll black metal?

I listened to the new songs on the Myspace and they are very bouncy. Reminded me of Korpiklaani but in a way that's done right, or at least a lot better than Korpiklaani.

I know it's fashionable to hate on Wrest now for some reason (too popular?) but I am an unabashed Leviathan/LoC fanboy and am craving something new from him. Anyone heard anything about his current activity? I know he's sitting on like 2 or 3 full LoC albums and really wish he would release them.

I was thrilled to even see you mention Leviathan and Lurker of Chalice on this thread - I never hear anyone talk much about those bands any more. I would love to see a new LoC album too. I checked Metal Archives and all I can find about Wrest is that he's been recently lending his drumming skills to Nachtmystium. If that's the case, I wonder if that will end up taking up most of his time and postpone any potential LoC or Leviathan albums in the near future. Where did you hear that he's got new material pending release?

I got that feeling from posts on other boards that it was the tru-kvlt thing to hate on Wrest nowadays. Personally I think he his one of the most consistently listenable and original artists in the genre so  lol_internet posted:Where did you hear that he's got new material pending release? From the LoC page on Metal Archives: Metal Archives posted:According to a 2004 interview with Wrest there are four unreleased full-length albums by Lurker of Chalice. I wish he would just release them already if this is true.

Almost no treble in the mix what so ever. It is kind of hard to separate the highs from the lows whereas they are quite distinct on Filosofem.

Someone should find the manufacturer of those headset mics or whatever and get them to produce a kvlt edition to sell to musicians.

Pleasure to chill posted:The semi-spoken parts in Kalmaidalthas Nedstigning are cringeworthy, though. Really? I think they are pretty much my favourite part of the album. What I find really interesting is that this is something I'd actually call a "beautiful" album. The aesthetics, while still melancholic in the Burzum-way, are actually kinda positive. It seems less about darkness and despair than the older works; it's more colorful, but still burzumy.

Just chiming in with more love for Belus, this is some of the best stuff Varg has ever recorded. Does anyone else think it sounds a bit like Negură Bunget at times? There are parts of the album that sound like a close cousin to their Ţesarul De Lumini. Anyhow, it's great to see Varg coming back with such force. I was just listening to it while on the bus, and I caught myself thinking "Holy poo poo, I'm actually listening to new Burzum material. And I'm loving it!".

I think he sounds like a presenter on a children's TV show or something. I've only listened to it once, though, maybe it'll grow on me. As I mentioned, though, I'm liking the album a lot so far. It's much better than I expected. Glemseens Elv is my favorite track too.

AgentJotun posted:Is it just me or are quite a few of the riffs very familiar? Well, Belus' Dψd is the metal version of Daudi Baldrs he mentioned a few years ago, but otherwise I think it's pretty much just the style of the music. With the atmosphere he tries to create, many songa are just bound to sound somewhat similar.

Faux Shoah posted:So nothing has changed in 15 years, I see. Checking it out now. It might be hard to quantify the difference between 'hypnotic' and 'boring' but Belus definitely falls square under the latter category. Outside of Filosofem Burzum was never particularly repetitive anyway, and that album relied on subtle harmonic and rhythmic variations to make it work. Pretty much every song on this album alternates between two melodic phrases which are repeated ad nauseam with none of the buried harmonies of a track like Jesus' Tod, backed by rock drumming which serves to de-emphasize the melodic, droning nature of the guitar melodies rather than emphasise it as the drumming on older albums did. The end result is that rather than being put in a state where time doesn't matter, we are stuck squarely in the now wondering "Jesus Christ when is he going to play a different loving riff." Having failed to make repetition work, the songs never actually go anywhere either, thanks to simplistic, recursive structures. Essentially, it's Burzum does rock music without any of the things that make rock good, like hooks or brevity. I have to think that anyone who really enjoys this doesn't really understand what makes the old Burzum albums great. Ronnie Spector fucked around with this message at 15:55 on Feb 20, 2010 |
