Blood of Kingu is great. I like Drudkh/Hate Forest and all, but Blood of Kingu is a nice departure from the more atmospheric and slower stuff the other bands put out. On a somewhat related note, how is the new Astrofaes album?

I just picked up Cor Scorpii's Monuments and I must say I'm pleasantly surprised. The influence of the members from Windir is obvious but they definitely have their own sound and that sound is good.

Morbid Florist posted:I got to hear Samael's new album. It's a DEPARTURE from where they've been recently that's for drat sure. The production is bright but it's not bad at all. REALLY hard to tell I'm listening to samael. Departure is a bit of an understatement. I've been listening to Blut Aus Nord lately mostly because of this thread and Samael of all people have put me into a more aggressive rut.

The latest Katharsis has some cool parts, nothing groundbreaking but its pretty solid.

Sun of the Blind - Skullreader is full of excellent trippy atmospheric black metal that still manages to sound fantastically evil. Thorns - Thorns sounds sort of like the later Emperor output, which is good. Fairly experimental.

Razor posted:I spent $100 to see Iron Maiden during their Somewhere Back in Time tour; it was worth it, too. I was center-stage, front row, for 2.5 hours of Maiden. Hands down, the best show I've ever seen. I like the direction Rotting Christ has gone in the last few albums, the short driving riffs really do something for them. bij fucked around with this message at 06:32 on Feb 9, 2010 |

I liked a fair bit of Drudkh's more atmospheric output but the new album bored the hell out of me. Their atmospheric stuff could stand being a bit repetitive at times because the songs actually went somewhere, nothing on Handful of Stars goes anywhere or does anything interesting.

Is anyone else a fan of Mgla? I've been on a bit of a kick lately and I wish they'd release something new. Their sound has always struck me as sort of unique but does anyone have any recommendations for something similar?

Hrafn posted:They are amazing and I'm not familiar with anyone who sounds quite like them. Have you tried Katharsis? I like a couple Katharsis songs but the band never struck me as sounding particularly similar to Mgla. aliencowboy posted:Hadn't heard of them until now. The opening of Groza IV knocked my socks off. Groza IV is one of my favorites. Presence II and Further Down The Nest I are pretty killer as well. The albums in general are great but those songs stand out to me.

RHTITE posted:Go listen to the new Midnight Odyssey album, please. It's 2 hours long, and that will drive away a lot of jerks with bad taste and no attention span, but this really is an important album. Dis Pater has a very interesting combination of synth pop (house techno, Tangerine Dream styled ambient synths) and slow building Burzum styled Black Metal. He also shows much more influence from Shoe Gaze style Black Metal this time around, but without the silly maudlin self loathing you hear in most Shoe Gaze. His gaze is definitely outward and upward. Great record. I just listened to the album straight through and holy gently caress is it awesome.

RHTITE posted:Absolutely doesn't hold a candle to Midnight Odyssey. This project is much more guitar riff driven and focuses a lot more on his Doom Metal and new wave Goth punk influence, while still being drenched in synth. It's fully realized music, but feels like the trimmings from Midnight Odyssey sessions where his attention has wandered and his thinking strays to a more Heavy Metal mode. It's not really bad, but completely unnecessary after listening to Midnight Odyssey. I think the album is worth listening to just for The Tombs of Subterranea.

Oldstench posted:Have you listened to PdH before? I haven't, but I listen to a fair amount of ambient/atmospheric black metal so I'm aware that 15 minutes blocks of wind/forest/spooky noises are a thing. It's just sort of annoying to have to go fiddle with my playlist to skip fifteen minutes of loving wind noises after I listen to a song I otherwise like. Are any of his other releases worth checking out? I like Darkspace and Zhaaral's Sun of the Blind side project. bij fucked around with this message at 17:22 on Feb 28, 2013 |

Idol is pretty much exactly what I want from Anaal Nathrakh. So long as they continue to stay more Vanitas, or any album other than Passion, really, I can dig. That BAN cover kicks rear end.

I thought True traitor, True Whore was alight, but Scar Sighted is pretty goddamn great.
