Any time anyone brings up Blackgaze, 90% of the time they're talking about Sunbather. As much as I love that album, I think it tends to clog up the discussion quite a bit. What other records in the genre would you all recommend?

I blur blackgaze together with atmospheric black metal and postblack and whatever new band pitchfork is trying to shove in my face that's just copying weakling. So uh yeah, just listen to MareCognitum instead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eN2qMyR1NeY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezpguRHcJhw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUs0AKmjdNE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3QgY3BRDlY

owl_pellet posted:Alcest's Ecailles de Lune Souvenirs is an all-time favorites, though not super *black*. Just the guitar and drums. I also love Les Discrets' first two albums, which sound like harsher Alcest. Probably Neige's fault.

Wolves in the Throne Room comes to mind, although most of their stuff sounds "samey" they definately have a unique sound going for them. I cannot tell one song from another, but I do know that I'm listening to WITTR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnLTFeiXiiA Panopticon is similar to above mentioned Agalloch (who I also love but we don't need repeats), but has his own american folky spin on things https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mnsrDsjR_Y Ghost Bath has a very similar album to Sunbather named Moonlover. I prefer their more "unique" stuff from Torment, although I really don't like the wailing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJnCRu_WH5c Oathbreaker just ended the whole post-hardcore / blackgaze genre with their album Rheia. For me nothing will ever top this one. poo poo is so depressing that I can barely listen to it, but it's just so drat good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMTAkIDRHiA Leviathan has some songs that for me border on blackgaze. Definately not a fan of everything he releases, but there are some tracks I regularly go back to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0BHZawtiBk

Here's my top few that I don't already see posted Lantlos - .neon, but really their whole discog Aster Wreath - Some Small Star An Autumn for Crippled Children - Lost, but really their whole discog [2] Botanist - Collective: The Shape of He to Come, but really their whole discog [3] Cold Body Radiation - The Great White Emptiness, but only this album the rest of their stuff isn't great All of these are better than Sunbather imo and represent varied styles on the genre. Lantlos go for a dark and dreary atmosphere, Aster Wreath goes for a very soft spoken "beautiful" take on raw blackgaze, Botanist has a warm summer feeling to their discography, AAfCC goes for more of a DSBM feeling in their work, Cold Body Radiation just kinda sounds like dying peacefully.

I don't think WIITR have that much shoegaze in them really but if you're going to mention them you should probably also mention Weakling - Dead As Dreams, since that's where they got their sound from.

Well I figure "atmospheric black metal" has some crossover with "blackgaze" so I threw it out there Forgot one of the early "blackgaze" thingies, I think he was even onto it before Alcest. Jesu, this is his first release, he got more electronic and softer over time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0PYwPMnUCM

An Autumn For Crippled Children is pretty good. Much heavier on the gaze part. https://youtu.be/gM-aXFuR9P8

sticklefifer posted:Blackgaze minus BM vocals and blast beats, but keeping the tremolo picking and dialing reverb to max, is pretty much standard post-metal. There aren't any black metal riffs there though, it sounds like Godflesh mixed with shoegaze.

The blackgaze starterpack that isn't Sunbather goes something like this: Lantlos (Neon/Agape) Heretoir - self titled is probably their best release. More heavy on the gazey part. Thranenkind - Eine Momentaufnahme is probably my favorite release as an EP, its probably the rawest but the later ones have a more alternative feel to it that just didn't gel with me An Autumn for Crippled Children / Cold Body Radiation - both are by the same guy, and are very good. The Autumn project leans towards black metal, the Cold Body project leans towards shoegaze. Favorite albums are The Long Goodbye and The Great White Emptiness respectively. Unreqvited - they lean more depressive suicide black metal, but I would call them a very bleak blackgaze band. And my favorites: sadness - Probably the best blackgaze artist out there today. You'll Just Forget has probably been played hundreds of times:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guBz2wW-BIM Violet Cold - a one man project from Azerbaijan, he consistently puts out quality. Magic Night is my favorite release: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iX_ebq-c7eI

I'll toss Holy Fawn - Death Spells into the ring. They're pretty good, more on the shoegazey end of things. https://holyfawn.bandcamp.com/album/death-spells-eu-vinyl
