Last Eunuch Horn posted:Woods of Ypres Man, I really loved their last album. It has an emo-ish The Cure meets Type O Negative as doom/black band vibe that screams "hate me!" but I just can't. I listened to the poo poo out of that, even if it was overlong at 75 minutes or so.

Cobweb Heart posted:Hahaha. Were they actually joking, or being serious? Let's not forget, this is the band that sicced their private security on some dude from D.R.I. during Deathfest for the crime of interrupting the INVOCATION OF THE BLASPHEMOUS WATAIN RITUAL by dancing a jig on the side of the stage. As far as "war metal" goes, I've heard the term thrown around a lot in refrence to blackened thrash/thrashened black that has a bit more grittiness or lo-fi aspect to it-- Bestial Warlust, Blasphemophager, Diocletian, stuff like that. Of course, war-themed metal gets thrown in there too, like Hail of Bullets, as well as metal by guys that are at war, like Cobalt. So who knows. And hey, as long as we're getting rid of the term "rituals," can "horde" leave along with it? I'm sick of seeing some press release that reads like "The blasphemous RAPED BY THE ARCHGOAT horde returns with 10 tracks of pure bestial hatred! "Inverting the Ritualistic oval office" will be out March 12, 2011 on Aryan Blood records."

The singer from M8L8TH sounds like he's just losing his goddamn mind.

nomapple posted:With this in mind, what are people's favourite live black metal bands? Even though obviously some bands kill live, it doesn't always seem to lend itself to the live environment, perhaps due to the large number of high profile studio projects? Anyway, the first ones to spring to mind for me were Taake, Høst is a totally magnetic frontman, and their new black n roll sound on Noregs Vapen works really well live. Then there's Watain. Regardless of what you think of them, they know how to put on a live show. Everything is tight as hell, and although it's showy, the pyro does rule. Finally, Enslaved. They were one of the best bands I saw this year at hellfest, and every time I see them, they seem so happy to be on that stage, and they seem to know what the crowd want to hear. Agreed, Enslaved is great. Marduk can be kind of same-y on record, but live they are amazing, total professionals that have been doing this a long time and know how to do it. And if you ever get a chance to see Immortal, absolutely go. Abbath has amazing presence and they sound great live. Also, they get hated on a lot around here, but I saw Dimmu Borgir a few times about 5 years ago and they were always really, really good. Over-the-top and fun, the mix was always excellent and intelligible, and all the band members seemed to feed off the energy of the crowd. That said, no Hellhammer or ICS Vortex now so ymmv. e: seen Nachtmystium in both their ultra-kvlt underground phase and their psychedelic phase and was blown away both times. Looking forward to seeing them on this tour with Weapon. e2: Inquisition is great, it's amazing the amount of noise 2 dudes can put out. Frog voice live is pretty incredible as well.

Baron Von Ghoulosh posted:So, is anyone else going to try and hit one of the Negative Plane (w/ Vomitor) tour dates coming up soon? I'll likely be going to the Baltimore date, but I'm kind of on the fence since the "venue" is a hipster tex-mex restaurant. The last show I saw there (Alcest and Deafheaven) left the bands kind of confused and unhappy, since there was no effective monitoring system and people were literally sitting at tables and eating burritos while they were playing.

QPZIL posted:I dig the new Deafheaven, but I wouldn't really call it black metal at all. Blast beats and tremelo-picked guitars don't always equal black metal. If anything, I'd call it sort of a post-screamo (i.e. early 90s screamo: Pg.99, City of Caterpillar, Funeral Diner, etc.). It has more in common with that stuff than it does with black metal. This was my reaction as well. Though it definitely has its black metal elements, for the most part I think it owes its sound to 90s post-hardcore a la Texas Is The Reason or Braid more than it does to traditional black metal or shoegaze. I thought it was appropriate that they covered Mogwai's "Punk Rock/Cody" on their split with Bosse-De-Nage since they use so many of those pretty and very heavy descending progressions that Mogwai uses. They're a funny band, though, because the relentless shrieking will alienate non-black-metal fans while their very non-kvltishness will drive away the fanatically orthodox black metal fans. On another note, Aosoth was awesome at MDF. Unfortunately it seems that was their only US date but definitely go see them if you get a chance.

This might be splitting hairs, but he also isn't calling for or encouraging terrorism, rather acknowledging that terrorism as an act of expression is consonant with Watain's ideals. That might be its own kind of :/ but it's a distinction worth making.

Non Serviam posted:Come on dude, at least check the link (EDIT: Sorry if it sounds like I'm snapping at you. I'm not) That passage was from the previous interview, but on re-reading the most recent one quote:MB: One of the things about which we got the most comments from was your mention of encouraging terrorism in the name of Watain. Do you still hold those views and, most importantly, what would be your reaction if fans actually started taking that seriously? doesn't look too good. As you point out, Europe is much harsher on hate speech and incitement to violence than we are in America, and these guys are probably in trouble legally if some idiot kills a bunch of people in the name of the great Watain ritual or whatever.

If you haven't been following the thread, there was a lot of discussion a while back about Sunbather by Deafheaven and Vesper by Entropia. I'd recommend both highly.

nomapple posted:HOW does The Satanist have so many good, catchy songs on it? The album sounds vital, their live show at the moment feels vital, it's brilliant to see them on such good form. I don't think I've seen a big metal album get such deserved universal acclaim for a while. Something I've noticed in interviews and public appearances is that Nergal seems really happy. It's the kiss of death for comedians and some songwriters, but his embrace of life after beating cancer really seems to have made his creative side come alive. There are a lot more overt "rock" influences evident as well which makes this probably the hookiest album they've ever done. In possibly (un)related news, Nergal is a judge on Poland's The Voice. I don't know what's weirder: Nergal appearing on The Voice or the creators of The Voice (and, by extension, the Polish public at large) finding it totally normal for a black metal musician to be a voice judge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uS-gJhhePDI Nergal::Adam Levine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxbLoeajtC4
