Unbootable posted:I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for black metal compilations on 12"? I'm trying to keep my christmas list cheap, but I'm always interested in hearing new artists. Specifically anything that sounds like Thou, Wolves In The Throne Room, Emperor, False. Sounds like the best thing to do would be to have a browse round Bandcamp listening to a few artists linked to, or similar to those you mentioned, and then chose a couple of records of the bands you liked from what you heard. I would suggest checking out Skagos, Barghest (did a split with False), Fell Voices (on the same record label as False),Panopticon, Ash Borer, Velnias, Altar of Plagues, Fen. All the names up to Ash Borer have Bandcamps where you can stream the artist's releases. I hope you find something you like, I personally would recommend getting Skagos- Ast on vinyl, it sounds great and is very well presented, with an impressive etching on one of the sides.

Absolutely massive sound on stage, and they have the songs to back it up. Ominous Doctrines... is a brilliant album. (The other ones are great too, but I think Ominous Doctrines is my favourite)

For me, Mgła- With Hearts Toward None crushed everything in terms of BM this year. Astoundingly strong release. Honourable mentions go to: The Great Old Ones- Al Azif Lunar Aurora- Hoagscht (or whatever it's really called, either way it sounds super good) Winterfylleth- The Threnody of Triunph Bosse-De-Nage- III Blut Aus Nord- 777 Cosmosophy Kaevum- Natur Marnost- 2012 demo Ash Borer- Cold of Ages (would've been amazing if not for the sterile production killing all the dynamic.) Anicon- s/t Wodensthrone- Curse (outstayed it's welcome for me, but has some great moments) It's been a pretty good year for BM, not the best, but pretty good.

In the style they're playing at the moment, I'm not sure long songs are the right path for Darkthrone to go down :/ I do like the newer material, but at the same time, I feel apprehensive every time they announce something new. That cover art is loving killer though.

The Clit Avoider posted:I still don't know what to make of it. I absolutely hated it on the first listen, mellowed towards it on subsequent revisits, but I don't think I'll ever understand why they re-recorded chained to redemption. It makes a comparison to the old sound inevitable, and that particular track comes from a demo that is unrivaled in their repertoire. First listen I really disliked tracks 3&4 but the whole thing sounds better each time I listen to it. I'm not actually familiar with the band's discography as a whole, but I will certainly go and check that demo out. As I understand it most people didn't like the album prior to their most recent release?

Oldstench posted:New Cultes des Ghoules track: This is pretty good, I like some of the other stuff on their label, like Szron. I'm currently listening to Make A Change... Kill Yourself and wondering why I didn't do so sooner. They seem to be leagues ahead of other DSBM projects, definitely a breath of fresh air within that genre. In other news I can't stop listening to black/death metal at the moment, like Teitanblood. My problem is, Teitanblood seem to be leagues ahead of the other bands. I'm also enjoying Diocletian, Witchrist and Vassafor a fair bit though. Basically, I really like the murky, swampy rumble that these sorts of bands deliver. If anyone has similar stuff they could recommend it would be much appreciated. I've heard good things about Desolate Shrine? And before anyone recommends Black Witchery or Proclamation, as much as I like them, they don't scratch that same itch that Teitanblood do for me. I need something to listen to that isn't Seven Chalices!

Bestial Raids most recent was great as well, I really should acquire that on vinyl Goatpenis are far better than their name suggests, their most recent album is very enjoyable.

I listen to black metal regularly anyway, but sometimes I get grumpy and jaded with the genre, until I listen to Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk or Nattens Madrigal, and all is good again.

OK I listened to Diadem of 12 Stars again this afternoon, and although it is indeed brilliant, I'm sticking by Two Hunters. Also whilst we're on WITTR discussion, you should probably download their set from Roadburn 2008 FOR FREE. Also UK "post black metal" project Caïna is writing again, has posted a sample of a new track, and wants votes for what formats the new album should be released on. The new track isn't BM at all, but I thought this was still relevant to people's interests. By the way Panopticon says his side of the Split with Vestiges is going to sound like On The Subject of Mortality but with better production. Given that album has some of my favourite Panopticon material on it, I am very excited. I'm still enjoying the hell out of Kentucky 10 or 11 months on.

Baron Von Ghoulosh posted:Given my continual adoration of Kentucky, I'm finally going to begin diving into their back catalog of splits and full lengths. Where should I begin? I would work backwards. The production on the early stuff is *really* ropey. The drum sound makes it almost unlistenable for me, and I listen to my fair share of badly produced BM. Anyway, I'd go: Social Disservices, On The Subject of Mortality, Collapse (Kentucky is basically a better version of this, I'd love to hear it re-recorded though), s/t. His splits are also really worth checking out. The ones with Wheels Within Wheels are very ambient. On the Subject of Mortality was released across 2 splits (one of which was with Skagos, which is essential IMO) and he says the new split he's working on with Vestiges is going to sound like On the Subject of Mortality with better production.

Colour me intrigued by that Cult of Fire album that's been mentioned the last few pages, will definitely be checking that one out soon. Enjoying the new Darkthrone more than I expected to. All of the tracks seem good, and Leave No Cross Unturned has really grown on me. Personal favourites so far would be the first 2 tracks, both have great riffs. Man I hope Inquisition come over to the UK again soon, I couldn't go when they were here with Revenge. I lament this about once a week...

Black thrash: Deströyer 666 and Aura Noir are mandatory imo, both great bands. Gospel of the Horns are also well worth checking out if you dig D666's sound. Melechesh aren't exactly black thrash but they loving slay and you should be listening to them. Black metal not recorded in a shed during a storm: Watain Dissection Newer Rotting Christ (Revisit the older stuff for sure if you get over the production issues you have.) Enslaved Winterfylleth Anaal Nathrakh Behexen (From what I remember the newer stuff isn't that necro, but my definition of what constitutes necro is probably more than a little warped by now) Marduk IMO the last 3 albums are good and not that necro. If you like atmospheric BM then dig into Agalloch, Wolves in the Throne Room and Altar of Plagues, but I have mainly concentrated on more straight forward BM without the necro production value (with the exception of Winterfylleth and Enslaved who are a bit proggy). Nathrakh have a bit of death metal and industrial in their sound too, it's loving vile (in a good way). I hope you find something you like here anyway. Watain, Melechesh and Enslaved basically converted me into a full blooded black metal fan.

The Clit Avoider posted:Shrapnel wrote the music for that song. Early material was mostly KK, later stuff sees more and more influence from Shrapnel (more songs on albums and contributing more solos), and Defiance was all Shrapnel and Matt Razor, with KK only providing lyrics. Keith is still more than capable of writing killer riffs, and Matt is an excellent guitarist in his own right (check the Razor of Occam material). Ian's distinctive soloing will soon be heard on Nocturnal Graves' new release. Glad to hear it. I like both the early and the later D666 material, so this has somewhat put my fears to rest. Looks like I'm gonna have to check out Nocturnal Graves.
