RHTITE posted:Another stand out is Beherit's Engram. They take a fairly simplistic and repetitive style of mid paced Black Metal and infuse it with layered synth that ranges from nearly subliminal suggestion to suddenly standing front and centre to back again. This serves to pull you in to a seriously contemplative place. One of the best ever. I absolutely love the production on this album, one of my favorites in all of black metal. The last song is the weak point, even though it is good. Nothing beats the first song and Suck My Blood. Once that intro riff hits on Suck My Blood I get so loving pumped up. Really great album, haven't heard too much of their early stuff besides Drawing Down, didn't stick like Engram did for me, though.

Darkestrah was recommended a few pages back, so I got their The Great Silk Road album and I like it a lot. After the first few spins the songs with the catchiest riffs (probably Inner Voice and Cult Tengri for most people) were the ones that stood out, as always I guess. But now that I've listened to it some more I must say there is pretty much no weak song on this album (well maybe the 2 minute closing track but that one is more of an outro than a song). The longest (18:49) track, Kara-Oy, really grows on you and the structure is really well done. Just wanted to plug them some more, I'm going to look into their other albums now. http://www.myspace.com/officialdarkestrah

Here is a good one on the new gorgoroth album at 1:26 Gorgoroth (1:26) Did any bands do this before Immortal in Call of the Wintermoon (1992ish? Also yeah it does seem to be when there is a transition from something slow to a blastbeat

Warrior, for example, was doing sorta "OOOGH" interjections with his vocal style, it's not to hard to imagine the "UEGHK" or whatever onomatopoeia you want to use being just a natural development of that

Ugh, hadn't noticed that embedding was disabled on that video. Seriously, who does that. I can't quite decide if I like "The devil and the whore" more than "The atavism of evil". Devil certainly has the more memorable songs but Atavism seems more solid overall. I wish more black metal sounded like this.

For those who haven't heard Melechesh, they're recommended for Absu fans, check out Sphynx (has Proscriptor drumming), Emissaries and now the new album at the very least.

Isn't Melechesh one of the bands that is touring the US with Rotting Christ early in 2011? Wow! This may just make that tour a whole lot more appealing. Thanks for the tip!

Hard to transcribe but anyone who's listened to Taake must know what I mean. When I saw them, Hoest kept on thrusting the microphone into the audience and getting people from the front row to do his "OOEEEE"s for him, which was hilarious.

Now, unlike Megiddo I'm pretty sure that we've never actually discussed Tearstained in this thread. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3vWlF_55yA Tearstained is sort of like a Mercyful Fate crossed with Celtic Frost/Bathory.

Baron Von Ghoulosh posted:I'm sold! Where do I start? Pretty much any of the first three albums will be good. "Monumental in Its Sorrow", "There Is No Hope" and "Final Thoughts" form the so-called suicide trilogy. On the two following albums the guy pretty much ditched the King Diamond falsetto and just used lower vocals.

The fourth track on the album titled "My Tower Among The Timeless Mountains" is the best Synth / Black Metal track I have ever heard.

Can't say I'm a big Tearstained fan. I thought the production of the drums was rubbish, the riffs were dull, the lyrics were lame and the vocals were bland.

It's loving awesome, I used to dislike them but this stuff really brought me back to their style. Also, on the topic of Dimmu's new album (even though it's only marginally BM), I'm pleasantly surprised how atmospheric and eerie this album turned out. It's a hundred times better than the steaming pile of poo poo which was ISD.
