Just something I thought I'd share since a while ago someone was saying they can't make out screamed lyrics...

I was playing through a couple Old Man's Child albums, and I got stuck on the song "Doommaker". Found it catchy, somehow, threw it on the iPod, listened to it way to much. I looked up the lyrics, so I knew what he was saying. Then, one night, all hopped up on energy drinks, I changed a line in my head.

The night calls
as the evening light fades
cast your shadow
and cover this earth
bury the surface
and possess the nights dark
come forth und smell my FARTS!

Now I laugh every time I listen to it. :(

I was hoping you could recommend me some original new black metal albums, especially if they have a very layered and psychedelic quality to them (like Furze’s UTD or Leviathan’s ToH and unlike Nachtmystium’s Assassins).



In addition to catbread's recommendations, try the album Ást, by Skagos.

They have a track called Cry To Me River. I picture an eastern european man botching the phrase "cry me a river" a la Borat.

Their first two albums are terrific and the split's okay but I was really let down by Fimbulvinter. It just didn't have the character that Towards the Firmaments Verge of Life had, it just ran together too much. The Branikald cover was the best song on the album as I recall.

I'm really enjoying Caina now, it took me a while to just sit down give him a good uninterrupted listen, but I'm really glad I did.


Are there any new notable albums coming out soon or have come out recently? I've really been starved for new black metal.

Recent releases that I've been enjoying include SIG:AR:TYR - Godsaga (not 100% black metal, think blackened viking era Bathory), Csejthe - Transcendance (slow and doomy), Truppensturm - Salute to the Iron Emperors (barbaric German black metal, done in the style of Blasphemy) and Sunwheel - Industry of Death (Polish symphonic black metal). Also check out Folkvang's latest, Atmospheric Black, if you haven't already. That record was easily one of the best of '09.

It's definitely in my top 10 metal albums for the year. It felt a lot more coherent than Assassins, and more experimental - I mean, if you cleaned up Nightfall's distortion and changed the lyrics/vocal delivery a bit, you'd have the feel-good-hit-of-the-summer!

Just picked up Borknagar's 2000 (and IMO best) album Quintessence on Vinyl



This album is easily one of the best black metal albums I've ever listened to. Nearly all the tracks stand out on their own. Rivalry of Phantoms, Presence is Ominous, Colossus, Genesis Torn, and Revolt being huge stand out tracks. The production sounds great on Vinyl, which is welcomed since the CD version released ten years ago was very bass less and tinny sounding.

Borknagar have a pretty big catalog, but this album stands out as a very well crafted Black Metal album that is very easy for regular Metal fans to get into due to the great melodies and mostly understandable distorted/clean vocals.

If you never heard the album or heard it years ago, I would really recommend picking up the vinyl copy - though the liner notes have mistakes all over for some reason with missing track names and other things omitted.

Also - Cornholio I think the new Borknagar is ok. I've heard the CD all the way through twice (not on vinyl sadly as it is over $50 for the loving album for some reason) and it's ok, probably next to Empire or Olden Domain as a good Borknagar album.

D666 hasn't toured the US much in the past and if they do it seems like it's a 2 or 3 big city only tour. Behemoth and Watain you can see at least once a year, sometimes twice for Behemoth.

Good choice. I really like 'Epic', though it does sound a bit too polished at times.

I chose the username "brewmeister". That tells you all you need to know about me.
I just watched Immortal's Seventh Date of Blashyrkh DVD. That poo poo was amazing.

Also, I saw Enthroned and Destroyer 666 last night. Was a pretty good show. Destroyer took almost an hour setting up and Enthroned did not start playing until 1 AM. A lot of people left because it was too late I guess. Out of the 150 or so people there, only about 30 stayed for Enthroned. Kinda sucks for them. They deserve to play in front of a much larger crowd.

Yeah, just got back from Ramona... there where maybe like 20 people there (including dudes from the other bands in the crowd) by the time Enthroned got on. Was sad and embarrassing. I give Enthroned credit though, they kicked rear end. D666 was great as always, just wish there where more people.

That's pretty much the only Behemoth I recognise. I can't stand their death metal schtick.

I managed to buy a "Grom" t-shirt on the cheap just to piss off all the kvlt-kiddies in their "Demigod" hoodies.

I dunno if it's been mentioned earlier in this thread, but I discovered Hinsidig this week. It's possibly one of the more modern BM bands I've heard out of Norway recently and they have a definite tinge of what's going on in America right now in their sound (which I love). There's also a pretty decent (old school) Dimmu Borgir cover on their full length.

I went ahead and ordered it, should be here on Wednesday.

I don't mind Behemoth's death metal stuff, but I'm not a big death metal fan in general. I realize it's terribly over-produced and probably pretty generic or uninspired as far as DM goes, but I still still like the band's riffing and Nergal's vocals. That said, I still like their early BM better.

I'm not much into death metal either; I can stand some death metal from former black metal bands (i.e. Behemoth, Dissection)--but I much prefer the black metal years of all those bands. Behemoth's early poo poo is great.

That's great, but I will say one thing in their defense: at least a Demigod hoodie is from an actual metal band. I'm tired of going to shows here in Michigan and seeing people wearing Dethklok shirts or hoodies.

The truth, sucky truth, is that I've seen about half a dozen black/death metal shows around here and the most the crowd ever gets to is 25-30 people (including the other bands). A guy I knew spent about 6 months trying to get a black metal band going but said it was an impossible battle to get a show anywhere besides very nich little clubs. I saw Liturgy (pitchfork approved black metal, couldn't believe it) and they had about 20 people there.

Black metal is an amazing form of musical art that just can't latch onto any audience besides its core demographic. There isn't anything "wrong" with this in a sense that most fans of the genre do so because of their intellect and understanding of the art that masses see as "guys in paint screaming" where the fans see the true beauty of it.

Behemoth is one of the very few Black Metal bands to reach full success, and this was after over a decade of work and tailoring their style to represent a more modern metal tone on Evangelion - saw them live at mayhem fest last year and they were loving amazing. It felt good to see a black metal band being watched by thousands of people, but Behemoth is probably a one in a million to get full success from black metal.

Not to mention, you know, not really sounding like black metal anymore. If they didn't dress up on stage and hadn't released a few black metal albums early in their career they'd be thought of as death metal with a few black metal elements at most.

Yea, I don't blame them truthfully. How long can you stick with a format that has such a glass ceiling for any chance of success. I am glad that people who would have never listened to black metal were able to see them at the mayhem tour.
