Kind of lame, it's hard for them to capture their atmosphere live, even with the new stuff. But I'd probably see them again. The crowd was one of the worst I've ever been in.

Where did you see them? I saw them at a club in Baltimore (so no big Euro-syle fire shows), but I thought the atmosphere was great. Crowd was the usual black/death folks with more kids than usual, I guess.

Lord Purple posted:Los Angeles probably four or five years back. It was a smaller club-like venue. The crowd might have just ruined it for me. Probably the same tour. Absu opened and were unintentionally hilarious with Proscriptor screeching long, rambling stories about each song in a voice that was pretty much Beavis's Cornholio routine.

Proscriptor owns and is also one of the best black metal drummers

He's one of the best drummers, period, but I can imagine his character being laughable if you aren't prepared for the cheese.

Huh, I thought that thing with Inquisition got cleared up and the 88MM was the band of someone else. Oh well, I'm going to see them in two weeks time. Just hope no local neo-nazis find out about this. Or the AFA for that matter.nomapple posted:New Darkspace out on the 6th September! This is great news! Wonder if they'll do any tour for the release?

What are some albums to recommend to someone just getting into black metal? I've been wanting to explore the genre more after listening to Immortal,Bathory, and Black Anvil for awhile but I don't know where to even begin. I tried Mayhem, but didn't really care for them. I like the blastbeat stuff but also like the more thrashy/melodic stuff (maybe like Skeletonwitch). What would be some top 10 or top 5 must have albums? Thanks

Don't bother with Satyricon imo, one of those second rate bands that only get much attention because they're from Norway. Check out some of these: Varathron - His Majesty at the Swamp Rotting Christ - Thy Mighty Contract Master's Hammer - Ritual Root - Hell Symphony

At least he recommended the one album that has a couple decent songs. Dark Medieval Times and Shadowthrone are so insanely terrible I have no idea why they're included by many in The Great Second Wave Canon

It sounds like the stuff that is more thrash and not necessarily traditional black metal would interest you. Aura Noir - Out to Die Absu - Tara Toxic Holocaust - An Overdose of Death... Goatwhore - Blood for the Master Deströyer 666 - Unchain the Wolves

Drudkh side project Blood of Kingu has a new album out soon. Judging by this track it should be pretty awesome. No Clean Singing has a full album stream here.

Don't listen to them, I love Satyricon. Except for Rebel Extravaganza. That sucked. I mean, you can't deny Frost is one of the most talented drummers in black metal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqC73hT5nWQ

If you like Toxic Holocaust, I recommend his various side projects as well. Especially the Yellowgoat Sessions (I think it's under the name Joel Grind - Yellowgoat Sessions). Pretty much straight up old Bathory-worship.

How about Gorgoroth, Carpathian Forest, and Watain. Are they worth checking out? EDIT - Just happened to jump to page 46 (I think) and Gorgoroth and Carpathian Forest were both recommended, so I will check them out as well. I guess I should look up 90s black metal bands and just run down the list. flirty dental hygienist fucked around with this message at 01:28 on Aug 23, 2014 |

You should probably also hear Tsjuder. Desert Northern Hell is one of the best black metal albums of all time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=at_uqS8daT8 also Kvist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkyxxy6pElY

The rest is really bad. Really, really bad and then there's the Nattefrost album which is honestly one of the worst things I have ever heard. It makes latter Spear of Longinus albums sound like fine art edit: except the first EP, that one's decent too

Kvlt! posted:How was anyone not mentioned Taake There were so many new replies in this thread I thought some intrepid music journalist had outed Deafheaven as NS or something. Anyway, what this guy said. Noregs Vaapen is a masterpiece. A few of my recent favorites are Let the Devil in by Sargeist, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdl8AOmBw6Q and With Hearts Toward None by Mgła. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aFGuKwF2ic Also, Immortal. All of it but if you like their thrashier stuff go for Damned in Black and later albums. Vhol is a cool side project by members of Ludicra, Hammers of Misfortune, Yob and Agalloch: https://soundcloud.com/profoundlorerecords/vhol-grace I could go on and on but I won't.

I just got turned on to Chaos Moon the other day. They're from Philly and their singer/guitarist recently joined Krieg, which is how I found out about them. Really good poo poo, these guys may be a keeper. http://chaosmoon.bandcamp.com/
