Was definitely a favorite from last year. He put out a new album a few weeks ago, along the same lines but without vocals. Which is a bit of a shame, it's not like they're particularly special vocals but instrumental-only songs have a tendency to drag for me.

Saw Myrkur + Deafheaven yesterday. Myrkur was alright, somewhat quiet and boring at times. Deafheaven rocked as usual, but New Bermuda is just so much different live than I expected. Felt more like a chilled out post-rock trip with breakdowns than black metal. Still great though. e: Violet Cold is kinda weird for me too. I really like it when I listen to it, then forget about it for months

So I just found Batushka from the Behemoths Poland tour announcement. I absolutely love it, except the gregorian chants. I love the vocal style, is there any BM band that's similar to it? The only I can think of is Children of Bodom but that's not even BM. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZ3DHGutU3w

The closest thing to Batushka I can think of off the top of my head is The Ruins of Beverast.

yeah those are pretty uninspired vocals, that's sort of why I asked about the musical style because the vocals on their own aren't very interesting. The vocalist in Babuska is in another band called Hermh though, so I guess listen to that if you want to hear the same dude(though Hermh is pretty bad from what I've heard).

I guess the main thing is that they're higher in the mix compared to most black metal, and the cleaner production lets you hear them more but the vocals as such doesn't strike me as anything special. I suppose you could listen to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lACeX53ER_Q and see if you like those vocals. It is sort of the same, just rougher and a bit more interesting.

Hey Mr. Bling, I feel like you would know about this. What if any of the Black Legions bands are worth listening to? I remember listening to a little bit of Mutiilation back in the day and enjoying some of it, but I have no idea what I listened to. The only thing that really stuck with me was this work of art:

LLN is mostly garbage, really. The Vlad Tepes/Belketre split is probably the best thing to come out of that "scene". It is actually good rather than just being a low-fi mess recorded in a bathroom somewhere in France.

I'm not MrBling, but most Vlad Tepes stuff is cool and has an unusual riffing style, Mutiilation is good especially the material up to the first two albums, and iirc at least some Torgeist is pretty good too. there's a weird guitar ambient sideproject called Aakon Keetreh that is cool if you're into it. There's a bunch of LLN stuff that Drakkar have put out (https://drakkar-productions-official.bandcamp.com/music) that they did from the original master tapes, so it sounds a lot better than whatever generation tape rips.

It is kinda funny how LLN used to be this mysterious thing and you had to like trade tapes or lovely CD-Rs to get a chance to hear some of it. If you were lucky you actually got a real LLN album, but sometimes it was just some other poo poo labelled as one of the LLN bands. Now everything is on youtube and you easily hear for yourself just how little of it was actually any good. But they were really good at building up a reputation, I'll give them that.

Most of the LLN rips on YouTube are poo poo, too. Mostly from 7th generation tape bootlegs. The early Drakkar CD releases were also mastered improperly from DAT tapes, which were rather new to them. Mutiilation's Vampires, Black Legions Metal, and March to the Black Holocaust all suffered from more or less having low-quality DAT-to-CDA transfers with poor volume levels, which led to the miserably hissy sounds of the original sound of those splits, and that boxy, compressed production on the original version of Vampires. None of it is going to be clean sounding, of course, but if you're into it, there are certain versions that sound a lot better which are worth seeking out. Torgeist - 2008 Drakkar CD releases of "Devoted to Satan" and "Time of Sabbath" sound a thousand times better than the bad rip on Black Legions Metal. Mutiilation - "Hail Satanas..." sounds pretty good, but the re-releases are all taken from the original vinyl, not a master, IIRC. "Vampires..." suffered from the poor DAT mastering and a shuffled tracklist. There was a vinyl version on End All Life from 1999 with a better mix and a better flow which sounds a lot better - the drums are louder (bad on small speakers) but the drum machine track is gone. A rip of that LP is much better to my ears than the "original", while the later versions are either copies of the original (Drakkar) or CD rips gone to vinyl (DAP). "Satanist Styrken" and some other demos have a morbid sound if you can find a good rip, but again, there's no pro-release so you're more or less limited to mp3s that sound like poo poo. Vlad Tepes - "The Drakksteim Sessions" is the essential release of these. Straight from the tapes from ~20 years prior, with the aim of presenting the clearest sound possible. A bit harsh at times, sounds a bit nicer dubbed hot onto a tape or through any tube stereo to roll off the harshness a bit, but it's the best this band ever sounded. "Anthologie Noire" is basically early-generation tape rips. For the demos not on the above, this sound is as good as it gets. Beyond that, you're lucky to find Aakon Keetreh and Moevot rips with the tracks in the right order. Many of these, including physical bootlegs of the file-sharing era, have tracks out of order. Besides that, it's also common to find songs like Black Murder's "Those Black Desires..." and VT's "Massacre Song..." with Vordb tacked onto other demos and labeled poorly, since those were both recorded for a compilation that never materialized and were dubbed onto the same tapes, although the differences were annotated in the handwritten notes. Most importantly, if you're interested, give one of those good versions a few listens. Nothing does it justice like a good copy of the original recording. There are some excellent artists with very unusual music here that is often overshadowed by the reputation built in absentia in the file-sharing era.

Can anyone recommend something that strikes a middleground between Darkspace and stuff like Mesarthim and Violet Cold? I love the raw and oppressive sound of Darkspace but I also like the more uplifting chord progressions the latter bands bring to the table. Spectral Lore is probably the closest band I think has this kind of sound.

Black Murder's Feasts is by far the best LLN release, the only other ones that come even close are March to the Black Holocaust and Desecrate Jesus' Name. For as many LLN copycat bands there are out there I'm surprised I've never really heard anyone try to go for the decrepit, creepy sound Black Murder nails so perfectly on that demo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1V1JejmexVY

Only two songs of a four-song demo but this is really good fodder for people like me who still can't get enough of (well done) raw, melodic 90's Norwegian black metal. Has just the right vibe and amount of songwriting quirks to keep things interesting. https://hellthrasherproductions.bandcamp.com/album/demo-2016
