Everyone should listen to Negura Bunget's Om. I seriously loving love that poo poo, can't really say why though, guess I just have so many fond memories attached to it.

Anyone have anything to say about a band called Clair Cassis? I ordered some records and got sent, in addition to said records, 3 empty vinyl sleeves of Clair Cassis' eponymous album. The cover looks good and so I was wondering if I should find more about this band.

I mean I suppose they also stole the music in Clair Cassis? :P

Or maybe the band is poo poo and no one buys their frisbees anyway.

I might be way late on this, but is anyone listening to Ghost? Definitely one of the more interesting records I've heard in a while. It's kinda black metal, kinda prog, kinda stoner... sort of tough to categorize... but I've listened to their album about five times in a row, really dig it and figured it might be worth mentioning. http://www.myspace.com/thebandghost

They've always been one of those bands that I've given a cursory listen to, but after reading a review of A Handful of Stars and then giving it a solid listen they've grown on me massively!

Regardless, they're pure evil! They remind me a lot of Mercyful Fate. Every song is great!

It's like they deliberately, but in a completely tongue-in-cheek sort of way, recorded that 1970's teenage-brain warping Devil record that parents always feared, but never actually existed. There's something almost silly about it. It's shockingly accessible and poppy for something so evil. But yeah, good poo poo. I'm really glad I stumbled upon it earlier tonight.

Ghost is pretty hyped over here in Europe. Probably, amongst other things, because even though you're "not meant to know" it's a Mary Goore (of Repugnant) project. Personally I think the overall music is comparable to a weaker version of In Solitude. The album was certainly stronger than the EP they released, and there is an influence from Mercyful Fate in the riffs patterns and the unclean vocals; but the full package, to me, isn't up to much aside from a few tracks. They're borrowing heavily from Coven (well, it's occult rock), but most of the elements they've taken are on the twee side. I do like the instrumental on the album, but mostly because it reminds me of the italian prog group Goblin. Oh, and being on Rise Above, the die hard prices etc, are an absolute joke.

Man, I don't get all the Ghost love. I listened to the first three track on their myspace, and thought the riffs were kinda boring. Sounds like the singer is pretty apathetic as well. I dunno, not my bag I guess. I did finally jump on the Absu train a couple of weeks ago by picking up Tara. Good stuff, will be getting more.

Groke posted:For those of us who do not understand Ukrainian, this is a pretty distant concern. Drudkh was essentially formed by members of Hate Forest, a rather open NSBM act, and I thought the implications of "Sunwheel" on the first Drudkh release were leaning towards the far right, even though I don't understand the lyrics. I am just saying if he / she isn't looking for the negative in BM ... If we are talking Atmospheric I'll again throw out Lustre - Welcome Winter.

Thanks for the replies, I know most of them but a few unknown and will checkout. From first glance at them they sound a bit folky which isnt ideal but nice anyway. Lyrics don't really impact me on the topic of negativity, only really the feel of the songs themselves.  For anyone else interested, I like albums very different and out there as opposed to the bulk of the genre. Moonsorrow - V: Hävitetty Darkestrah - Epos Blut Aus Nord - Memoria Vetusta II: Dialogue with the Stars Nachtmystium - Assassins: Black Meddle Part I Can't really remember any else of the top of my head but they're great atmosphereic stuff!

Cold Day posted:Moonsorrow - V: Hävitetty Everyone in this thread is probably sick of hearing me say this, but this is my favourite ever album. Good news is that the band is working hard on the new album, which apparently sounds like "icebergs crashing together". The first song is mixed and they're working hard on the other six, according to the Moonsorrow studio diary blog.

I really want to see Watain, but I don't know how I'm going to deal with the smell. (And I want to support my friends in the band Irony on their last show ever.) I am false metal that way

I'm gonna go see them on the 24th, I checked them out and I liked Sworn To The Dark quite a bit and they seem like they put on a great live show. I can't imagine the smell being any worse than the warehouse crust shows I attended in high school. Finally got around to listening to Forest Poetry by Ildjarn after going on an endless Bone Awl kick. I love this stuff so much I can just listen to fuzzed out repetitive rear end riffs all day. I also checked out Diocletian's second ep and Witchrist's most recent lp, Decimator and Beheaded Ouroborus, and I really enjoy them. I guess they are both considered blackened death metal and opening me up to exploring death metal as a genre more beyond Entombed and Repulsion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aytPdjFzmaE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOOgNHqp-LM

Think the earliest I can leave is 4 and it's a 6-hour drive, so I'll probably miss all the openers.And yeah, dead animals can't possibly smell worse than the Altar of Plagues show I went to... locked in a broom closet full of candles in New Orleans, in July, with no AC, assholes-and-elbows with dudes who hadn't showered since '94.

Apparently the mammalian fluid du noir was rancid pig's blood. And the session guitarist kicked a few people in the audience, so it was good times all around!  However, I did stay for Goatwhore, and liked them quite a bit.

There's a number of people who know who the entire band are, and Repugnant involvement was rumoured from the EP onwards. If you check Tobias's (Mary Goore) rock/pop band Subvision out you'll notice the vocals are exactly the same (and interestingly, his pop band is basically the 2001 Repugnant lineup + a drummer). And yes, Repugnant are active again, I saw them during the summer and they're good live. Repugnant and Ghost have appeared on the same billing in Sweden incidentally.

Speaking of rancid-smelling concerts, this weekend was Nidrosian Black Mass III here in Trondheim. The stage was fenced in by crucified deer-heads, which were not a pleasant odor after 3 days of sweaty gigs. Concerning the individual bands, Behexen smelled the worst, covered in rotten blood and something that must have been either fish guts or semen. It was one hell of a festival though, these kind of shows are pretty hard to come by.
