The inevitable Black Metal thread.

MellySingsDoom · 05.16.2007, 05:13 PM

Having just returned from a night of peerless Romanian black metal in the name of Negura Bungat, I'm in the mood for asking, what (if you have one) is your fave black metal band?

Trasher02 · 05.16.2007, 05:23 PM

Abyssic Hate
Burzum
Xasthur

Ace bands.

As I say every day to my bagel dealer - "Oy Gewalt!"

I have barely dipped my toe into the murky waters of Black Metal but I am quite fond of Mayhem and Abruptum. Quite taken with Abruptum especially.

MellySingsDoom · 05.16.2007, 05:45 PM

Abruptum be good, but early Mayhem is the lick, as they say in Soho. Early Graveland is good, too.

Of the Mayhem stuff I've heard I liked the demo versions of a lot of stuff more than the final album stuff.

Toilet & Bowels · 05.16.2007, 06:02 PM

attila csihar is what makes mayhem for me, i'm interested to hear the new record now that he's back in the fold.

anyway, i don't understand why bone awl have been picked up by the noise scene over any other particular BM band

The only one I know by name are Stryper, so I suppose it has to be them.

As for black metal; I don't listen to it a lot, but recently I was taken by Wolves in the Throne Room. I suspect they might be a bit too pussy for the real real real-black metal fans though. But a bit of Mayhem every now and then is fine with me as well.

MellySingsDoom · 05.16.2007, 06:18 PM

Stryper = ARRRGH!

05.16.2007, 06:23 PM

Nokturnal Mortum
Burzum
Sigh
Velvet Cacoon
Xasthur

Stryper being in "The inevitable Black Metal thread" means this thread is doomed now.

MellySingsDoom · 05.16.2007, 06:26 PM

pokkeherrie - we're all doomed anyway.

The Emperor album "Anthems To The Welken At Dusk" is classic in all fronts, both warm and occluded.

a) yeah, i love attila; same here, i want to hear the new album. he's fantastic.

b) because of prurient, of course, dom seems to champion them a lot. i found them a bit meh, just a bunch of badly recorded discharge riffs with shrieky vocals

yes, i agree, it's not so much black metal but it has a charm all of it's own.

as far as the topic on hand; i've been listening to watain quite a bit lately, their new album is really good, i'll be seeing them on the 25th.

it all just seems a bit arbitrary to me as there are like 2000 BM groups who do that

hmm, true, the good ones have this bleak character of sound that's unquestionably bm.

bone awl seem to not have that.

actually there is such a thing as white metal (aka unblack metal) which is basically christian black metal. there's a label called e.e.e. recordings that specializes in putting out christian extreme metal.
here are some white metal bands

Light Shall Prevail

Agathothodion

Glaciial

while we're on the subject of weird subgenres i might aswell point out VARGHKOGHARGASMAL, a band who play "wooden metal".
