It's Russian and ridiculously hard to pronounce, but it's also some really solid atmospheric BM that you probably want to check out.

This is really good, thanks for posting.

So I finally listened to the new Bosse-De-Nage (entitled III), and it is fantastic. I really can't recommend this enough. Whereas II felt like it was being wonky and unnerving for the sake of it, III is an album with beautiful fluidity, whilst retaining an unsettling quality at times. This feels like a lot more complex album, and there is a lot more on show here both musically and emotionally. As much as this will immediately turn some of you off this album, there is a stronger indie rock/shoegaze influence here, which gives a very cathartic feel to the end of the album especially. I wouldn't go so far as to say it softens their sound, but it definitely removes the jagged edges present on II. If you're even remotely interested, I'd check it out. Don't sleep on this.

Listen to the opening track here.

Didn't think too much of it, honestly. The only track on their first I really liked was the crescendocore instrumental, to be fair, but this one didn't do much for me.

Considering it's middle east hot here for the 6th straight day I wanna put up a band that was mentioned in the main metal thread, talking about anti-islam black metal. Al Namrood from Saudi Arabia. I think they do a better job of making evil arabian music than Nile. These are from the album I've been able to get into. There's a few instrumental tracks and those have been the highlights for me. Unfortunately I don't think we'll be seeing any Al-Varg Bin Vikernes running around torching mosques but considering you'd be killed for making music like this...

This isn't bad, there's definitely Emperor in there it's just less chaotic and produced cleaner. I like it I just wish it was dirtier.

Greetings bros. I've never been big into black metal, mostly death metal (of all forms) but recently I've been exploring the realms of black metal more and more. Rather than slog through the thousands of bands out there I figure I'll just ask here.

I've always been a huge fan of Immortal. I love everything the band has ever done, and the way they play and write their music really clicks with me (listening to Damned in Black as I write this). Recently I've gotten into Bathory and Taake, and I like the sound of both those bands as well.

What are some good bands out there that sound similar to Immortal or Taake, with that classic black metal sound but still have a production value that makes it sound like it was recorded on something more than a Fisher Price cassette recorder?

I realize Immortal is like one of THE black metal bands, but that should probably give you some idea of how little exposure to black metal I get.

Anti Christian/Religious is very welcome but Im trying to stay away from NSBM.

Recommendations so far are A+, especially Rotting Christ.

You dig the folk if memory serves so give Moonsorrow a spin even though it's got a good bit of that rough around the edges recording quality. Also try Stormlord, particularly At the Gates of Utopia. I'm personally a big fan of Chthonic, particularly Relentless Recurrence too.

Via a recommendation from Kim Kelly, I've recently fallen for Anicon. Just the one EP at the moment, from what I can tell, and they're so new they don't even have a metal-archives entry.

The EP will be released later today.

For black metal fans - kind of WITTR-ish, a bit more up-tempo, great atmosphere.

Here's a band I found through last.fm, Obitus. Swedish black metal "concept" album about the bleak horror of modern existence. It's essentially one big song that seems to center (based on the handful of samples throughout) around an autopsy of an office worker. There's electronic elements that they thankfully keep very minimal but I think it helps add to the anti-modern theme. As someone who whores his life away behind a desk it's nice to know I'm not alone hating this horror show.

The whole thing's up on bandcamp http://dissension-records.bandcamp.com/album/the-march-of-the-drones

I'd say the last track is the best overall part to hear if you need a quick sell.

I like it alot! Although it suppose to their return to their trv and kvlt black metal roots, it still has that old school Chicago Wax Trax industrial feel to it. Listening to it, I'm also trying to imagine Thurston Moore's brand of noise thrown into the mix for the next Twilight album. I can't wait to hear what that is gonna sound like.

Definitely heavily influenced by the Wax Trax industrial stuff. The industrial influences even come through in the title as Silencing Machine is taken from a lyric in Mr. Self Destruct by Nine Inch Nails. I think it's my favourite album of the year so far, just been listening to it non stop.

Edit: I'm curious if Blake Judd is clean now, because he looked awful in the making of videos for Silencing Machine. I heard he went to rehab though and got clean recently so hopefully that's true.

How do y'all feel about the recent crop of black metal inflected punk groups (Grinning Death's Head, Raspberry Bulbs/Bone Awl, Sexdrome, Horrid Cross, etc)? I honestly think they're better on average than a lot of the "actual" BM coming out around now with the exception of a few groups (specifically Bosse-De-Nage and Mutilation Rites).

I've actually really been digging all the black metal/punk bands on Primal Vomit Records, especially Ives and Black Lands. Although I'm not sure what it is about Mutilation Rites that makes you hold them up as an exceptional BM band. I Am Legion struck me as a fairly generic album, although I haven't listened to Empyrean yet.

The first track has been released online for Winterfylleth's 3rd album The Threnody of Triumph. Personally I think they're the best BM band that the UK has to offer (unless we're counting Anaal Nathrakh in there, but they blend so many different genres that I don't really think of them as a BM project). Anyway, you can hear the track here. I really like it, cold black metal with an epic feel to it. On my twitter feed a few people have heard it already (journos) and it has garnered very high praise indeed.

Looks like I'm gonna have to give the new Nachtmystium a spin, heard nothing but good things about this record...
