Dyna Soar posted:What makes it even harder for me is the fact that over half of the bm bands I like are nazis, and I hate nazis. I don't want to get mixed with them in any way, but man they can do some pretty awesome music If you like NSBM, but hate the nazi's (like me), then give Nokturnal Mortum a try if you haven't already. You won't be able to understand what they're saying unless you speak Ukrainian anyways. And the lyrics aren't that NS anyways, just the band members themselves.

I don't care what others think of my music either, but (a little deviating here) one thing I'd never do is impose music like Marduk or something on others. "Hey man, lets listen to some killer Marduk!" that doesn't really work with my friends who like metalcore, although I wish it did so they'd stop listening to it for the most part.

I was out shopping with my gf today and we decided to peek into the Hot Topic since it was weirdly bright, and I figured there might be one single shirt or CD I would find that I liked, and lo and behold, I found one single CD of Darkthrone's Panzerfaust. It was seriously the only black metal cd in the whole store. I bought it of course, but what, if anything do you think this means? Is black metal going to go more mainstream, or do you think it's just a fluke?

Dyna Soar posted:Well if I recall correctly, .m4a files are just mp3 files in disguise and "re-encoding" them can be done by just changing the file type to .mp3 manually. But if I'm completely wrong which is very possible you'll need a program for it. You can google m4a to mp3 converter or go here if you don't know how to google. I believe mp3 is mpeg1. .m4a is just .mp4 in disguise (mpeg4) or (Yes I know, wikipedia but;) quote:It is specified both as Part 7 of the MPEG-2 standard, and Part 3 of the MPEG-4 standard. As such, it can be referred to as MPEG-2 Part 7 and MPEG-4 Part 3 depending on its implementation, however it is most often referred to as MPEG-4 AAC, or AAC for short. If you re-encode, you should encode down, rather than encode up, because you will not gain anything by re-encoding a 192kbps to 320kbps, but you (I know I can't tell) can't tell a difference if you encode the 192kbps to the next notch down (160kbps).

Dyna Soar posted:Yeah I was way off there. I know, I was just stating it in case there was a question of how to encode it. Honestly though, I used to encode at 192 but I can't tell any difference using the latest LAME between 128kbps and 320kbps, even with Logitech G51 speakers (I used to have 2.1 CyberAcoustic speakers), so i've resigned to encoding at a max of 160kbps VBR.

Since the Son of a Recommendation thread wasn't any help, I figure it would be best to ask you people. I really like what I hear when I listen to Taake's Over Bjoergvin Graater Himmerik album. What other artists or bands would you suggest that keep the same feel of this album?

Listening to something to be cool is loving gay as hell and I hope goons here at least have some semblance to not do that. Why listen to something if you don't even like it? Why does someone's else opinion of you matter so much? I honestly don't get it.

By the way, if no one noticed, Pyha (Ruined) or 폐허 however you want to say it, is basically from a Korean (north or south, it's rather ambiguous because it doesn't seem to be agreed upon) fourteen-year-old. What the hell. It's not bad either!

aliencowboy posted:I don't listen to a ton of Black Metal, but could you guys could give me the lowdown on mandatory ambient black metal? Summoning has been on constant repeat for the past few weeks. *cracks knuckles* None of this may be up your alley, but you may enjoy Blut aus Nord, Sieghetnar, Karna, Kataxu, Profanum, Xasthur, Leviathan, Beatrik, Aäkon Këëtrëh, Caïna, Negură Bunget,Abyssmal Sorrow, Striborg, Alcest, Drudkh, Eldrig, Empire Auriga, Forgotten Tomb, Fear of Eternity, Funeral Mourning, Hypothemia, Isengard, Lurker of Chalice, Mütiilation, Moëvöt, Nortt, Paysage d'Hiver, Raate, Ruined (or Pyha or whatever), Sacrificia Mortuorum, Sad, Taake, Tyrant, Veil, Velvet Cacoon, Vinterriket, Wolves in the Throne Room Though I admit a few of these perhaps fits into what some call "depressive bm" I don't think it's that much of a stretch to like it. Drudkh, Velvet Cacoon, Vinterriket, Wolves in the Throne Room (gently caress what goons say, this band is good), Alcest, some Leviathan, Nortt, Isengard, Hypothemia, Moëvöt are all points to check out, though they aren't like Summoning clones if that's what you're wanting in particular. Admittedly I've never heard Sworn but it sounds pretty good. Going through my foobar I see these that kinda sound like what you posted: Melechesh, Impaled Nazarene, Catamenia, Balam-Akab, Dissection, Keep of Kalessin, Khold, Lyfthrasyr, Naglfar, Slechtvalk, Wolven Ancestry. Tell me if any of that helped

het posted:Honestly, lists of 20 bands with no descriptions are of really limited usefulness. If you're going to post huge lists like that, try to put in a few words for each band; mention what they sound like, relate them to another band the person might have heard of, something to separate them from the 19 other bands you listed. In general I don't think anyone has any problems finding a list of 20 black metal bands they don't know anything about, the idea of recommendations is to give people a place to start. You're right, and I was about 1200 words into a reply going over me trying to describe the bands the best I could, when my computer hardlocked on me t  I guess I shoulda used Office to type it out.Basically though Sieghetnar sounds like Burzum prison albums with better everything, some of these bands have gone from distorted bm sound to bm sound with ambient works, and they're similar in a bunch of ways but aren't carbon copies of each other. I want to say different things about some of them, but while I was typing I re-went through them and the style is all something they have in common, or at least I think so. I said that since Leviathan's work is mostly bmish that you should try A Silhouette for Splinters. Xasthur is like Sunn O))) and Burzum had a misanthropic kid with most of his sound like he's through a noise/distortion filter, Drudkh is folkish, and is probably something you'd enjoy since you like Summoning. Isengard is another you'd like that makes me think of an ambient summoning. I'm pretty sure most of these have myspaces, or at the least fan myspaces (because the artist doesn't give a poo poo about myspace or doesn't like myspace for the most part.) Reading their last.fm's now, and those people had better descriptions for them than I had written up. Hung Yuri fucked around with this message at 16:44 on Sep 26, 2008 |

Ah yes, straw mans over Varg Vikernes. Just what I've always wanted to hear. He's a horrible person but lots of bands have him as an influence, and his music (sans the prison albums which are terrible) aren't all that bad. Here's hoping he'll make Filosofem 2 and not daudi baldurs or something.

I listen to a bunch of different things, but I'm not nearly as musically cultured as I'd like to be, especially seeing some posters in NMD and PHIZ I'm not as eclectic as I thought I was. Additionally, I don't really pay attention to band member names and most of the time I'm unable to go in to depth about bands other than "well this band kinda sounds like this band cause thats what it sounds like to me" instead of some technical description. But I digress, Black Metal is one of my favorite genres but I cannot just listen to black metal. I'll listen to things like electronic music from ambient and electro and hardstyle and whatever genre video game remixes are, I'll enjoy some j-pop/k-pop/c-pop as a dirty pleasure (BoA is so good and I'm a fag for admitting it but I don't care), I'll enjoy some metalcore/some hardcore, some new age punk, classical like satie or bach (Admittedly thats one of the genres I know little of). Death metal is alright to me, but I can't really get into most brutal bands or death metal bands without some sort of groove or interesting melody/solo. I'll also enjoy drone bands for the same reason that I like ambientish music. I like noise in small amounts, but harsh noise is only good to me as background noise than active listening. The noise I prefer tends to be something with a "flow" to it. Something where the noise changes and ebbs and evolves from one place to another, rather than something that is just as abstract as the artist can make. Sometimes when I'm feeling bad, I'll listen to music that follows my emotions. That's when I'll listen to dreary sort of music. For whatever reason, the ambient tracks on Filosofem are really good in that regard, because if you're just relaxing and listening to that, you can focus on the bleakness of the simple beats. (That sounds gay but whatever.) Anyways that's my 2 cents.

He's not saying that people who listen to 1349 are "kvlter-than-thov" but that the same fags who are like "its not raw enough, its not tr00 kvlt, its not the misanthropic stuff i love" are making GBS threads themselves, and I suppose he likes the album for what it's accomplished rather than for the album itself.

Cold Void is pretty interesting. Other than it having suicidal track titles it sounds pretty cool. It's like they recorded it on a track tape, then digitized it and ran it through a reverb filter or something. Pretty slow at times but other times it speeds up and has a cool beat. Edit: talkin about the song "Hope For Ending Pain... Suicide" Now that I read his myspace, looks like he killed himself, haha Hung Yuri fucked around with this message at 17:21 on Jun 10, 2009 |
