|
Good list but that manegarm album is their weakest IMO. |
|

off the top of my head I can think these:
Katharsis - VVorldVVithoutEnd
Watain - Sworn to the Dark
Does warkult black metal count? (Blasphemy/Beherit style Black metal)
if so add:
Manticore - Bowels of the Holy Anoint Us In Evil
Nuclear Desecration - Desecrated Temple Of Impurity
|
|
People really like that vucub cane band? If they ever have a show good luck wading through hipsters to get to the "mysterious being, recording in a dilapidated barn"
Some of my favorites
Furdidurke - Demo II
Darkthrone - Dark Thrones and Black Flags
Nachmystium - Instinct//Decay
Cirrhus - Demo II
Volahn
Atomizer - the newest one, the title escapes me
Wolves in the Throne Room - Two Hunters

Beherit-If you don't have this you are a poser
Watain- Sworn to the Dark

Mayhem-Ordo and Chao
Absu-Absu
Aborym-With No Human Intervention
Shining III

Hateful Abandon
Dark Throne- Hate Them
Witch Tomb/Martyrvore split... If you don't have it, poser, prost and yup
Blut Aus Nord- The Work That Transforms God (Criminally under rated, probably because they are French)

Have you heard that new iskra album? It came out this in december 09, it doesn't sound anything like their earlier stuff |
|
The only reason i say that about vc is that youthattack posted the demo on their site for sale, and all the hardcore kids ate it up. It on a bunch of blogs as "black metal from a mysterious being in western mass" |
|
black metal ist no longer krieg, ist hip now. |
|
The herigrim recordings are sounding so hip, I can't wait to upload them on myspace and add every person I see. THX 4 THE ADD CHK MY DEMO THX.
Nah, 1000 copies shall do. |
|
|

I've yet to actually sit down and type out my list. Hopefully I'll do that tonight. |
|
I am also a Jonny come lately when it comes to Lifelover but the stuff I heard was absolutely incredible... I will definately be picking that up.
and
URFAUST- GEIST IST TEUFEL
I also need to hear more Secrets of the Moon |
|
Secrets of the Moon is a good listen.
No one mentioned Lunar Aurora - Zyklus? |
|
Ofermod- Tiamatu
Aura Noir-Hades Rise
The Ruins of Beverast-Rain upon the Impure
|
|
THANK you, somebody appreciates this.
I wanna add...
Keep of Kalessin - Armada
Morrigan - Plague Waste and Death, Celts, The Damned, Headcult
Summoning - Oath Bound |
|
|
I wanna add...
Keep of Kalessin - Armada
|
I can see why a drummer would like this but this album did nothing for me compared to their previous material |
|
dont get me wrong I love summoning, but I thought oathbound was not as good as say Minas Morgul, or Dol Guldur....just my opinion though |
|
Ever heard the Polish band Minas Morgul?
Polish blackmetal is usually good, but it's hard as fuck to find some releases. |
|
|
dont get me wrong I love summoning, but I thought oathbound was not as good as say Minas Morgul, or Dol Guldur....just my opinion though |
same here, i hold them in high regard but IMO with Oath Bound they perfected their composition and threw every conventional metal rhythmic/melody fallback into the fire and completely came into their own sound.
|
|
I wanna add...
Keep of Kalessin - Armada
|
I can see why a drummer would like this but this album did nothing for me compared to their previous material |
once again we have complete opposite opinions about the same band haha...their newest album only has a few good songs on it, and their older stuff is alright but never grabbed me. the songs that atilla did vocals for are good. the drums on armada are probably the best composed display of drum speed in the world, but it's only part of why it's one of my favorites.
also,
Absu - Tara and the s/t
(and again, not all because of the drums...) |
|
I really liked the opening tracks on armada but the album seemed to lose my interest as it went on. I suppose it's one of those albums you have to listen to in chunks. |
|
Old Wainds - Scalding Coldness |
|
|
THANK you, somebody appreciates this. |
i find absolutely nothing redeeming about this album. i tried to like it but it just aggravates me. the drum sound makes me want to stab my ears out. then again, most Mayhem has done nothing for me save De Mysteriis and before. |
|
if it counts, the Mayhem "Life Eternal" thing that Attila put out is fucking superduper. superior in sound to DMDS |
|
i really want to hear that. |
|
Inquisition - Invoking The Majestic Throne Of Satan and all Deathspell Omega releases, especially Si Monumentum and Kenose (I'm a total herb for this band) |
|
that reminds me i love Funeral Mist - Salvation as well. |
|
Inquisition is stunning live. |
|
I loved "Ordo Ad Chao". It sounded like Blasphemer was listening to way too much French stuff, but it's got an awesome atmosphere and Attilas vox are fantastic. Great riffage as well.
Lugubrum-"Heilege Dwazen" and Lifelover-"Erotik" immediately come to mind as far as recent black metal oriented stuff that I highly dig. |
|
|
that reminds me i love Funeral Mist - Salvation as well. |
Just like Watain, overrated and boring. Though, I really like the songs at first, then they just bore the shit out of me as the record goes on. Have yet to hear the latest one. |
|
i was loving the new Funeral Mist when it came out but honestly haven't listened to it in a while. i really like what he does with atmospherics... not typical for the genre. and the perverse religious themes go beyond the genre standard |
|
whats the genre standard? |
|
there's plenty of different styles of BM so I'm not sure which one you're alluding to.. anyway, here's some more that I can remember... my apologies if they're mentioned above:

Lunar Aurora & Paysage D'Hiver - (Split)

Nazgul - When the Wolves Return to the Forest ... the spanish one
Negura Bunget - 'n Crugu Bradului and Om
Nightbringer - Temple of Not (SPLIT) - Rex ex Ordine Throni

Sirius - Aeons of Magick
Sorhin - Apokalypsens Ängel
Taake - Over Bjorgvins Graater Himmerik
Trollech - Synove lesu
Urgehal - Through Thick Fog Till Death
Velvet Cacoon - Genevieve
Valar - Magic and Wyrmfire (for summoning fans, but not as good)
Woodtemple - The Call From The Pagan Woods
Wyrd - Songs Of The Northern Gale demo
Xasthur - To Violate The Oblivious
....this thread made me realize that most of the shit I listen to is in the 90s. I'm not hugely familiar with that many newer BM bands; there's plenty of them. Germany has a GREAT scene right now, as well as France.

|
a decade of black metal in review:
/thread |
|
all black metal post early second wave is fail. |
|
I concur with you on some counts, but not all |
|
|
all black metal post early second wave is fail. |
TRUE, EXCEPT "ENGRAM" AND SELECTED DEMONCY AND BLACK FUNERAL RELEASES
-|-
OH AND FUCKING ILDJARN |
|
Plenty of great shit in the last ten years, you cantankerous old tryhard buttdarts who don't listen to Robin Trower |
|
i would post an aril reaction image but i'm lazy |
|
Don't mean to shit on your list, Ancient Master, but the Weakling album came out in 95 and the Wind of the Black Mountains in 96, I believe. Good albums, though. Judeobeast Assassination is my top BM album for this decade. |
|
Weakling Dead as Dreams Full-length, 2000
material recorded in 1998 but released after the band broke up in 2000
wind of the black mountains yes you are right, black sun shall rise came out in 00's though, which I guess is what I should have put, however I do not enjoy that album as much.
|
|
ancient, I was half joking about bm this decade. there's been plent of good releases.
I'd still argue that 90s bm was better, but this past decade had been good. I certainly don't like the direction most black metal is going in, but then again, I don't listen to blackmetal as much anymore. everything has been done and most bm is emotionless and meaningless now. plus hipsters just ruin everything for me :-( |
|
I stand corrected. For some reason I thought Dead As Dreams came out earlier. I'll throw in the new Profanatica as well. Not exactly groundbreaking, but evil and dark as fuck. |
|
yeah hipsters suck but i dont care what they like/ dont like, theyll be on to the next thing when bm isnt cool anymore |
|
endless dismal moan - lord of nightmare
marduk - wormwood
triumphator - wings of antichrist
haemoth - kontamination
behexen - my soul for his glory |
|
triumphator might actually be '98 or '99 but it's still awesome |
