New Burzum-album announcedquote:The Fallen is the 9th studio album from Burzum, and follows the highly critically acclaimed 2010 release Belus which put Burzum straight back at the at the top of the chain as of one of the most innovative and creative metal artists of our time. Fallen follows Belus in sound and structure, and can also be compared to the music on the groundbreaking DET SOM ENGANG VAR. Fallen is more dynamic and hard hitting then Belus and has an even bigger sound, but still carries the same trademark melodic melody lines throughout that makes Burzum sound so iconic and unique. Not gonna lie, I'm excited about this. I actually thought Belus was quite good, with a couple of great tracks. Tracklist for Fallen: I. Fra Verdenstreet (From the World Tree) II. Jeg faller (I'm Falling) III. Valen (The Vale? [not quite sure how to translate this one]) IV. Vanvidd (Insanity) V. Enhver til Sitt (Each to Their Own) VI. Budstikken (The Messenger-Stick) VII. Til Hel og tilbake igjen (To Hel and Back Again)

But I have a serious problem once an established Black Metal artist starts up-talking a new scheduled release. I usually anticipate disaster. He's getting a little lazy on the song names. I think 'Valen' is either 'the fields of battle' or 'the fallen warriors'. Plasma1010 fucked around with this message at 18:36 on Jan 13, 2011 |

I liked Belus, but the way he scream/whispered it kind of annoyed me. The guitar tone in Kaimadalthas Nedstigning during the chorus is loving amazing though. Varg really has an ear for making some interesting simple guitar parts, like every single riff in Jesus Tod.

I bought it on vinyl (it was the only metal record at the store I was at) on a whim when I first got into metal, and it loving blew my mind. So drat heavy. I wish I didn't sell it for cig/beer money.

The most famous use of it is probably in the Norwegian lyrics to the Internationale, a translation dating back to the first decade of the 20th century. Comes from the same root word as we find in Valhall and Valkyrie. (It can also mean "shallow-water bay" and is a place name and family name, etc. But I'd guess the song is probably not about the late avant-garde atonal polyphonic composer Fartein Valen. Although it could be.)

Hopefully the album will actually expand on the old sound and not just Varg trying to recreate Hvis Lyset Tar Oss with better production.

I just hope he'll shell out for a better keyboard if he's going to insist on those loving ambient tracks. Musical birthday cards sound more like instruments than what he did back then. My completely baseless opinion is that I won't like it as much as Belus, which I think is as good as his old poo poo in a different way.

So all of yall should listen to this http://sepulchre.bandcamp.com/album/sepulchre It's the Megiddo guy doing full on crusty Venom worship. He's apparently still also working on getting out the next Megiddo album "Holocaust Messiah" so that should be really good as well.

There was a new Draugnim album last year and no-one told me? And a new A Forest of Stars too??  Has anyone listened to either and can tell me whether they're worthwhile or not?

On first listen of the Draugnim album it feels like more of the same slow-tempo trudging black metal that their last cd was. It's good though. The production is different from their first album, it's more leaning towards the thin black metal style.

If you listened to the Sword to Waves demo, am I right in assuming they've gone away from that kind of thing? Boo, if so. I liked the layered, thick sound. I felt they went too clean on the first album's production. :/ Kaiho fucked around with this message at 00:13 on Jan 20, 2011 |

yea, it's the same old story: better to listen to on a weak car stereo, boring on headphones. Still decent, not as interesting as their first, which isn't as interesting as their demo.

Hope you enjoy it, Scrambles. I've heard some people disappointed by it, and it isn't as good as Ashes or The Mantle. But on the other hand, if as good as Ashes or Mantle was my way of deciding whether something is worth listening to or not, I would not have much music. if you'll excuse my extreme pretentiousness for saying it this way, I think the production made it a lot different. Most Agalloch music feels like Winter music. Marrow feels more like Fall music. I tried to explain it more thoroughly, but ended up using a lot of words to say nothing. Hopefully you can tell what I'm saying.

So I'm not a huge black metal fan but I'm doing a metal playlist next week for my bowling league and there are definitely some folks who will want to hear some. Can anyone recommend a couple of shortish tracks? Looking for anything from 2000-present (theme of the playlist is metal for the new millenium) and anything <6:00. Thoughts? In other words, if you were bowling and drinking and against all odds a BM song came on the jukebox, what would you be most psyched to hear (within criteria above)?

That's a tough one, off the top of my head most definitely Nachtmystium's Ghosts of Grace and Your True Enemy. Those are both killer tracks and I already blast them when I am drinking. Watain's Sworn to the Dark is a good one too. It has a great chorus which you just can't help but scream along with it. I Brake For MILFs fucked around with this message at 19:27 on Jan 20, 2011 |

Absu's "Pillars of Mercy" is a pretty crushing track, and Gorgoroth's "Litani Til Satan" is a rolling, grinding song. The following track on that album, "Unchain My Heart" has some interesting time signature changes. I dunno, it's tough to throw out songs, you might be better just jumping around a Pandora or last.fm station and seeing what comes up.

You could try giving Impaled Nazarene a go, they make pretty fun black metal. Give the song 'Humble gently caress of Death' a listen and see if you dig it.

Dimmu? Impaled Nazarene? At least recommend bands that are worth two shits guys.[/smug] Go for Inquisition's 2010 release (Ominous Doctrines of the Perpetual Mystical Macrocosm... yes it's a mouthful), specifically track 3 (Desolate Funeral Chant; 7:03) as it has this beautiful drone to it. I know it's a little past your specified time allotment, but the track is very mesmerizing. Track 8 (Hymn for a Dead Star; 3:13) is fantastic as well, the opening riff sounds like a psychotic waltz. If you want to go with some general Belphegor, I recommend Diaboli Virtus in Lumbar Est (3:47, 2003). Belphegor has some damned good songs on most of their albums though. If you like the Absu recommendation (you better like the Absu recommendation ) then i'll also propose Morrigan's song Ashes to Ashes, Lust to Lust (5:41; 2001). A quick description of this track is essentially that Absu track combined with some excessively old-style Slayer riffage.Grand Belial's Key has always been a hilarious/fantastic band, unfortunately, they have a tendency on Judeobeast Assassination to have a moderately speedy song devolve into very slowly paced interludes; this is why I am recommending the song In Rapture by the Fenrir Moon off of Castrate the Redeemer. This track doesn't delve into anything like that and it is quite short to boot (2:26) If all else fails you can pick up something from the last two Marduk albums. If you want fast/aggressive/fun though, I would throw some blackened thrash into the mix.

Early Impaled Nazarene rules, pity it's well before 2000. New stuff is useless. Anyway, keeping to your sub 6min rule: Destroyer 666 - Ride the Solar Winds Gospel of the Horns - Absolute Power Witchaven - Black Thrash Assault Flagellator - To Hell's Servants Nifelheim - Bestial Avenger Desaster - Nekropolis Karthago Vomitor - Midnight Madness Inquisition - Hail the King of All Heathens Black thrashing loving madness. Every single one of these tracks is heavily thrash influenced and moves at an aggressive pace.
