Are you sure you've listened to Show No Mercy because it is a masterpiece and very different from their others imo. Nordick posted:I got about halfway through it. A couple times I was like "hey, this part sounds pretty nice I guess" and then promptly forgot I was listening to it. It's not like I hate Ghost, I quite like their first album actually. Just now I got really unsure if I've ever listened to the their second because I can't remember a single song from it.

Tengger Cavalry has been busy posting stuff on their facebook page https://www.facebook.com/tengger0cavalry about new band members for the past few days, and then some post today about "Tomorrow, a picture and an announcement will be posted". Considering they also updated their cover photo to what they called "Captain American Wolf", I'm guessing they're going to post a full band lineup pic and some US tour dates?? Hope I'm right.

This is probably old news but I just stumbled onto Mesarthim ( https://mesarthim.bandcamp.com/album/isolate ) and it is some seriously masterful poo poo. I hesitate to call this "atmospheric black metal" because typically that has a lot of boring connotations to me, but the way this guy uses melody and airy synths keeps the songs moving and you just get sucked into a vortex. There's very little shoe-gazing and it's equally depressing, uplifting and beautiful. In some cases there's a very 80's synth vibe like on Declaration - I picture it as The Birthday Massacre do black metal for 5 minutes. Whereas other tracks like the opener Osteopenia or Interstellar are probably more what you'd think of as far as "atmospheric black metal" with rolling riffs & synths driving the song over the course of nearly 12 minutes and somehow never becoming boring. The album is only $1, and they were giving it away for free before they reached their free download limit on bandcamp. I gave them $10 because this is loving fantastic. I also highly recommend subscribing to the "Atmospheric Black Metal Albums" dude on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=user?AtmsphericBlackMetal). Half of the poo poo is super boring to me ( 5+ minutes of the wind and the occasional string being plucked ) but I've found some real gems in there - like the aforementioned Mesarthim, and he'll post stuff like Caladan Brood, Gallowbraid, Drudkh and other bands I wouldn't classify as "atmospheric black metal". [edit] Actually, the more I listen to this album I get a real "Drudkh with 80's synths" vibe. It's more complex than that but it's very present on songs like Abyss that seems to also use a Theremin ( or a reasonable facsimile anyway ).

If anyone enjoys that, the guy has a band with other actual humans called Inferi and they also make very lifeless technical death metal with wild solos. https://inferi.bandcamp.com/ Less technical and infinitely more powerful is Lost Soul who FINALLY gave a date and cover art for their new one, Atlantis. No advance track yet, though. October 30. And wa-pow:  Whichever musical century you choose to live in, Lost Soul's prior album Immerse in Infinity should crush you handily. Between the quality of that one and the delay between then and now, I have unreasonable expectations for Atlantis.

I hear less melodeath and a good deal more Anata. It's OK, well-written, but not at all earth-shattering like some people have said. I'll wait for Gorod and Mithras to give me my yearly tech death fix.

I don't think they can legally shop it around to other labels as a possibility at this point either, so we may be stuck waiting for a long, long time.

Ahh yes, the last time I read about the album I saw this article, but it was before Henrik Drake commented on it to give the band's side of things: http://www.heavyblogisheavy.com/2013/04/22/anata-split-up-and-all-i-got-was-this-lousy-hashtag/ Earache posted:Recorded in 2008?? That’s wrong dude… Where are you reading this Henrik Drake posted:Well, here is what really happened. We did not have our advance (half recording budget) from Earache to ever start the recording. We did so spending our own money. Then we asked them to have our advance as well as money to finalize the mix (vocals to be quickly added). There was no interest from Earache. We did not offer them an unmixed instrumental album.we still want to release this album. A real shame. There's nothing like them that I've ever heard. Sure there's other tech death bands but Anata had a unique approach.

New Myrkur album - M - released today. http://myrkur.bandcamp.com/ Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaX-xAhTIcY If you've been living under a rock, it's the over-hyped 1-woman "black metal" band ( sort of ) who was pushed into the light by Garm of Ulver. Lots of controversy by mouth-breathers because she is (was?) in an indie-rock band ( Ex-Cops ) and was a Chanel model or something so therefore she is a poser/fake/trying to make money ( with black metal? lol ). Musically, it's great - I don't know I'd call it black metal without a lot of sub-sub-sub-genre qualifications but Bergtatt-era black metal is definitely the root influence. Just add on some clean/choir vocals ( she has a great voice ), some screaming but not much, and it's almost like a female-fronted Ulver. It's almost ambient/atmospheric as some of the songs ( like the opener ) only have these ethereal cleans floating in the background, and there are shorter 2-minute long choir-only "instrumentals". Anyway, I'm a lovely reviewer - listen to it and buy it if you like it. TollTheHounds fucked around with this message at 23:40 on Aug 21, 2015 |

While it's clearly not a money making thing she's getting more attention than the music actually deserves, pretty similar to what happened with Wolves in the Throne Room. It's cool that she's a woman trying to do black metal, because it's still mostly dudes, but why clone Ulver of all bands, why not a good band? It'd be way cooler if she cloned like Ildjarn or something.

You can't really clone Ildjarn. Vidar's insane level of misanthropy is not easy to replicate. I don't really like saying "clone" in general because most artists people try to clone are so individual and recognizable that successfully cloning them isn't possible.

They released a handful of death'y thrash albums in the late 80s/early 90s and they're all good. Don't really get a lot of mentions in the thrash talks though.

It'd be way cooler if she cloned like Ildjarn or something. Oh I agree - that's why I said it's over-hyped, and she is getting way more attention than many other bands right now. As for why she emulated Ulver, you might as well ask why bands today still have Dissection riffs or sound like Bolt Thrower. Whether you like 90s Ulver or not you can't deny they had an impact. Personally I like it, and was interested in what she's making before I even knew it was a woman or she was "outed". Songs like the linked video are pretty polarizing though, either you like the atmosphere or you don't. Nobody goes onto the Thulcandra Facebook page and calls them dumb faggots who should die in a fire for ape'ing Dissection. But, because she's absolutely over-hyped she gets more criticism than she probably deserves. I've listened to interviews she's done, the metalsucks podcast with her is actually pretty interesting. She didn't even want the demo's to be released until Garm and Teloch convinced her to, and even then she didn't want her identity known. I genuinely believe she's just making music she likes, and it adds a certain amount of authenticity. TollTheHounds fucked around with this message at 22:55 on Aug 22, 2015 |

Anyone know of anything similar to Ares Kingdom's Incendiary? I'm not even sure what genre it's supposed to be (Thrash/Death?), but I haven't been able to stop listening to it for like a month now. Someone told me to check out Bolt Thrower, which I do like, but they don't really scratch the sort-of-melodic thrashy death itch.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7PvrD-LYFM I refuse to confine this to the low traffic of the black metal thread. Besides, this transcends genre. It was posted in a metal-archives thread on Brazilian blackboozethrash (or whichever words you choose to combine for nomenclature's sake); I cannot cop to discovering something of this magnitude on my own. edit: Gnumonic posted:Anyone know of anything similar to Ares Kingdom's Incendiary?
