So what gives?!? I thought the new Shining album, VI/Klagopsalmer was finally suppose to get released this week. Has it been delayed yet again? You can't find it with any of the normal online retailers and even the band itself has posted on their myspace page to ask Osmose Productions about it's distribution.

Ok, I finally go a hold of the new Shining album, VI/Klagopsalmer. I guess they were album to decide on an alternate cover or whatever. Despite Kvarforth being a complete attention whore, I think it's actually pretty good and maybe even better than V - Halmstad. Anyone else heard it yet?

Caucasus Belli posted:Old Wainds I'm gonna check these guys out pronto! So, tell me what I need to know about the group Beherit. I know they've released a slew of demos over the years with a few full length studio albums. After dabbling in the ambient/electro they've seemed to have put out their first black metal album in over 10 years called, Enham. Where should I start and is it worth the effort?

The cover art has emerged for the new Immortal album, All Shall Fall due out on Nuclear Blast the September 25th (Europe) and October 6th (North America).  BURRRRRRRRR!!! The tracklist is as follows. 1. All Shall Fall 2. The Rise Of Darkness 3. Hordes Of War 4. Norden On Fire 5. Arctic Swarm 6. Mount North 7. Unearthly Kingdom One of the guys at Terrorizer has already posted a track-by-track review of the release. 'All Shall Fall' Where 'Sons Of Northern Darkness' rushes out of the gates like a horse with its arse on fire, the opening title track of the new opus flows like cold molasses with snowy industrial ambience. Then it's straight into trademark melodic riffs, colder than an Inuit's snatch with a subtle 'Hanger 18-esque tone and uplifting ascending chords. There's deeper vocalisations, thundering, phased guitar and delicately woven leads making this cross between 'One By One' and 'In My Kingdom Cold' less 'Sons...' part two more Immortal 2.0. 'The Rise Of Darkness' Bringing back the Bathory, this is a thrashing number that alternates between moments of menace and a mellow mid-paced sweeping chords, the '80s vibe carrying through to a stomping riff part way through. 'Hordes Of War' Short, sharp, shock of thrashing war metal – albeit with the Immortal sheen to it – it's a brutal burst of pummeling black metal and picks up the slack left by 1349. Pure musical holocaust. 'Norden On Fire' A drop of pace an another intro, with glacial ambience making way for clean guitars in a cross between a speedier 'Beyond The Northern Waves'/slower 'Cursed Realm Of The Winterdemons'. It's swiftly followed by a vibrant battle riff in an upbeat 'Tyrants' vein, with Furia-esque uber-posi drive. 'Arctic Swarm' Another blackened thrasher with the pace of an avalanche, the guitars pound like Hephaestus in a workshop while chaotic solos punctuate the mix like a swarm of bees. A riff buffet. 'Mount North' An intermediary song before the final assault it's not what you'd call filler, but after a snow blizzard sampling intro, it's like a diabolical holocaust battle with blizzard beasts and the damned sons of northern darkness at the heart of winter. 'Unearthly Kingdom' We've had darkness, war, fire, mount, Arctic, north so it wouldn't be complete without a kingdom thrown in. And at this point it's no longer possible to avoid using that word. This is epic. Organ-like disparate noise introduces the track, with the feel of a less tedious latter-day Burzum before the riff appears like a longboat breaching the fog, the raiders contained therein marching to massive, pounding drum beat that complements the guitars like a well organised industrial complex. The term 'buzzsaw guitars' was made for this song, with some subtle complexes coming to the service the longer it drones on. It comes to a close in triumphant fashion, like victorious raiders marching from a burning village and fading into the horizon. I'm as giddy as a little school girl with anticipation for this album. I'd also give up a major bodily organ for a proper US headlining tour.

I kinda liked Carved in Stigmata Wounds but the one they made after that was some gay satyricon poo poo I'm really digging the new Secrets of the Moon CD Privilegivm and all their "gay" Satyricon "poo poo". Thanks to Terrorizer's recent special black metal special, I've also been exposed to the greatness of the Blutvial's I Speak of the Devil that came out earlier this summer. It has a real grimmy Aura Noir/Darkthrone crusty bm type feel to it. Good stuff!

The rough clips from the band's myspace sound rather promising... DIMMU BORGIR Frontman, Ex-GORGOROTH Bassist Join Forces In OV HELL Out of Norway's biggest and darkest metal bands rises OV HELL. This group of Satan's all-stars has been sharpening their teeth in some of black metal's most influential bands for many years. Known as key figures in bands such as DIMMU BORGIR and GORGOROTH, Shagrath and King have come together to bring forward a new chapter in Norwegian black metal history. OV HELL will carry on in the same tradition for which King and Shagrath are known, but the collaboration between the two will mark a new era for them both. Frost, Ice Dale and Teloch have been recruited for the first full-length release. The album, whcih is due in early 2010 via Indie Recordings, will contain all of the power and blast beats worthy of their evil pedigrees. Expect an assault on all false gods and hypocrisy that is of this world today. "The first OV HELL release will contain music I've worked on in my GORGOROTH and GOD SEED years," says King. "It's been a little hell to actually see this music form into a band, so the name of the band is quite suitable. Through the first song I got from Shagrath, I knew that he would be the perfect man to join forces with. He has strong individual qualities and a strong will to power. I am very positive that when we finish up this album it will be an album that won't sound like anything we have done before, and with a quality that won't stand back from anything presented in black metal earlier!" "With both of our demanding music careers and other projects, timing was not on our side," adds Shagrath. "After last year's Inferno festival, King and I yet again joined forces to brainstorm our need to collaborate our passion for dark art. Over the course of the past year, King sent me demo ideas that were so inspiring it made me put my skeptic feelings aside. I wasn't sure if I wanted to have another black metal project but my unquenchable thirst to explore my darkest beast launched the birth OV HELL. The majestic OV HELL has become a band that reflects our roots, raw, ugly, arrogantly blasphemous with uncompromising truth from two influential Norwegian musicians needing to express our primitive side, straight out OV HELL." Two new tracks, "Devil's Harlot" and "Ghosting", from the yet-untitled upcoming album, has been uploaded to the band's MySpace page. https://www.myspace.com/ovhell OV HELL studio lineup: * Shagrath (DIMMU BORGIR, CHROME DIVISION) - Vocals * King (GOD SEED, GORGOROTH, JOTUNSPOR, I, SAHG, AUDREY HORNE) - Bass * Ice Dale (ENSLAVED, I, AUDREY HORNE, TRINACRIA, DEMONAZ) - Guitar * Frost (SATYRICON, 1349) - Drums * Teloch (NIDINGR, GOD SEED, 1349, UMORAL) – Guitar

I saw Behemoth on their current North Amerikkkan tour over the weekend. Pretty decent set. Metal Blade's new artists Lightning Swords of Death were particularly good too. Very Watain-ish! Behemoth's set was as follows... 1. Ov Fire And The Void 2. Demigod 3. Shemamforash 4. Conquer All 5. LAM 6. As Above So Below 7. Slaves Shall Serve (Demigod) 8. At The Left Hand Ov God ----(drum solo)---- 9. Alas, Lord Is Upon Me 10. Decade Of Therion 11. Christians To The Lions 12. Chant For Ezkaton 2000 ----(encore)---- 13. Lucifer I could have sworn I heard Prometherion in there too, but I was wrong. Seriously missed having Antichristian Phenomenon in the set as well.

But it's cool cause Seth dribbled blood all over his face and he got pissed The pit did seem kinda seem filled with meatheads. I got tickled at the short chick with the big gut that stood in the middle of SepticFlesh's wall of death. Behemoth's blood spew/dribble during the Lucifer encore kinda crowned the night fo me too. I also got to meet Orion, Inferno and Seth before the gig. All of them were cool, but Orion was particularly friendly and telling me how the heat went out on their bus last night. I understood that they will be returning to the US next fall with a new DVD to drop in the very near future. Orion is a real beast of a man and nearly crushed my hand with his deadly handshake. Nergal was on the phone. Probably talking to his new Polish pop singer squeeze to be...  Dorota Rabczewska (MEOW!!!) Can't say I'd really blame him.

Groke posted:What, the sound is pretty much in the same vein as old Bathory if you ask me. And if that is not suitable for this kind of black metal I do not know what is. Just to give my persepective, here's some other recent releases that I would consider to be noteable black metal albums. Watain - Lawless Darkness Triptykon - Epasistera Daimones Nachtmystium - Addicts: Black Meddle Part 2 Countess - Burning Scrpiture Avsky - Scorn Lightning Swords of Death - The Extra Dimensional Wound Darkthrone - Circle the Wagons The nasty guitar tone for Burning Scripture is really what does it for me. That and the new Avsky are prety solid Bathory worship. I just heard about Denouncement Pyre a few weeks ago. Their new album as great potential after hearing the teaser. http://www.hellsheadbangers.com/denouncementpyre/

Horrorca posted:I was hoping you could recommend me some original new black metal albums, especially if they have a very layered and psychedelic quality to them (like Furze’s UTD or Leviathan’s ToH and unlike Nachtmystium’s Assassins). Maybe try a US band called, Castevet. They're from New York. I've just recently discovered them myself but, they're avant-garde, experimentation, psychedelic, hardcore/grindcore rage coupled with great dark and haunting melodies. Along the lines of other black metal bands distributed by Profound Lore (i.e. Ludicra, Cobalt, Krallice, The Howling Wind, etc.) You may like them too. Their 2010 release is called, Mounds of Ash. Check them out here and buy their album here.
