The only thing that can trump the news of a new Countess album is a new Sarke album. Wow! I figured the Sarke / Nocturno Culto colaberation was just a one time deal. I felt like I needed a shower after hearing songs like 'The Drunken Priest' and 'Frost Junkie'. Can't wait. SARKE, the Norwegian band featuring Sarke (real name: Thomas Bergli; KHOLD, TULUS, OLD MAN'S CHILD, SENSA ANIMA) and Nocturno Culto (DARKTHRONE), will release its sophomore album, "Oldarhian", on April 15 via Indie Recordings. On "Oldarhian" SARKE is still inspired by the great rock bands from the '70s, the death and thrash metal of the '80s, and the '90s black metal. The CD was recorded in Oslo at H-10 Productions the old-fashioned way, and continues the formula from the debut album: dark, epic and groovy. Commented Sarke: "Our music is inspired by the great '70s rock bands, '80s speed metal bands and '90s black metal bands. Put this together with the creative mind of the band and your get pure dark rock music sounding is clear, raw and honest." Added Nocturno Culto: "What an album! We can now act like six real rock stars and attention-seeking brats."  "Oldarhian" track listing: 01. Condemned 02. Pilgrim Of The Occult 03. Pessimist 04. Passage To Oldarhian 05. Flay The Wolf 06. Captured 07. Paradigm Lost 08. Novel Dawn 09. Burning Of The Monoliths 10. The Stranger Brew

Sarke isn't really any good though.

I wonder if there's ever been a band other than Immortal that was able to actually make good Black Metal while showing off their sense of humour. These guys don't do either very well.

Carpathian Forest is really bad and I had forgotten them I guess. How the gently caress did I forget about Darkthrone, though? I guess Havohej/Profanatica also count in the over the top category.

D-Beat is a subgenre of punk if you didn't know that. So something somewhat similar to the last two Darkthrone albums in all likelihood.

Plasma1010 posted:Oh okay I thought it was just going to be some "hip" Philly thing. Every d-beat band sounds like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_i8-RzvKXmk It literally is a sub-genre defined by a drum beat (which you hear in the song). Fun fact: Carcass started out as a d-beat band, called Dis-Attack, and they were one of the first to use "Dis" in their name as a tribute to Discharge (which every d-beat band has done since then). Luckily some cool Japanese dudes decided to turn the treble all the way up on their amp EQ and add more distortion than you'll ever need, so it kinda has some relation to black metal, at least the really raw fast stuff

Plasma1010 posted:Oh okay I thought it was just going to be some "hip" Philly thing. As someone else said... Darkthrone. Carpathian Forrest would be another prime example of D-Beat Black Metal. Also why would you need an opinion on it, when you could have clicked the link and formed your own? However, I'd say that D-Beat Black Metal bands tend to be more diverse then D-Beat Punk in the essence that the bands don't rely on a d-beat, just utilize it frequently. The Beyond (http://www.myspace.com/thebeyond666) is another PA Band. Darkthrone Worship/D-Beat. Featuring the main writer from Algol.

Actually, when I said Darkthrone, I meant bands that make good music and are humorous. Wasn't talking about D-Beat at all. I had no idea what D-Beat was until I looked it up.

I finally got my copy of Countess - On Wings of Defiance. It's pretty good but not one of Orlok's best albums. Definitely not as good as Burning Scripture, but not a terrible album either. Burning Scripture was hard to top. Either way, if you're a Countess fan, I'm sure you'll like it.

Cross-post from the other thread: Don't think this has been posted yet: New Altar of Plagues track - Feather and Bone As a big fan of the band, I am completely delighted by this track. It continues the White Tomb themes/musical direction, but in a tighter, even more intense way. (I liked Tides, the EP that came out after WT, but didn't love it; based on this song, and the other one mentioned a few pages back, I am now officially super-excited for this album.)

Not sure how many of you guys are familiar with Dragged into Sunlight but they're sort of a black/death'y sludgey band. Someone described them as a black metal Eyehategod but since I'm not familiar with them I don't know how apt that comparison is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqY3zdNWrZ8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSbGdw6Rowk

I saw them supporting Wolves in the Throne Room and they were very good. All about the atmosphere. Corpsed: Tell me about it! The release date has been pushed back quite a bit now, grr. Just release it already, Candlelight.

"Jeg faller" and "Valen" are kind of cool songs but the rest of the album just falls flat to me. Aside from the singing parts in those two songs I can't remember a single riff from the album.
