I just got the Gorgoroth Live in Krakow dvd. It's loving GREAT. The sound quality is better than all of the albums they're playing songs from. It's good enough you'll want to rip the audio. I only wish it was recorded after Ad Majorem so I could have seen Sign of an Open Eye live. Absolutely a must for any fan.

Not Very Metal posted:Agreed. It's awesome to see Infernus and Gaahl together on stage. Actually, this is one of my favorite lineups of the band in general. Also love the Kvitrafn shots between the toms. So evil. I just really hope what I've read is right, that Infernus hasn't written much and King and Gaahl have been taking more of that on in the last few years. The whole two band thing is gay enough but to think both might really suck without the other... It's also kinda depressing to think the Gaahl band might not be able to play the pre-Destroyer songs anymore, but I don't know how that sort of thing works.

Not Very Metal posted:If I remember right, I think King and Gaahl have been doing most of the writing for the last two or three albums. You can really tell; I think everything post-Destroyer has moved away from the classical music influenced BM into more of the "Second Wave" sound. Case in point would be the industrial elements of Incipit and guttural overdistortion of Twilight. I have to agree with you, I think the band really improved once Gaahl joined. Him singing his predecessors' songs improves them leaps and bounds, and I think Infernus learned to play better over the time as well so even the music sounds better now. The Gaahl albums are my favorites, and frankly I really liked the direction Ad Majorem was going. Not that I think there's any chance of it happening, but how awesome would it be for them to have Abbath take Infernus' spot in the Gaahl/King band

You don't even get a day off from work in north korea, unless it's for the country's birthday. And even then, people usually only get that once in their lives. Ain't no metal coming out of the beroved reader's territory.

aliencowboy posted:Also, any other more melodic Black Metal along the lines of Sworn would be fuckin' sweet. I somewhat agree with those calling Sworn less-than-black, but I'm with you on the fan bus. If you can stand a bit more frost on the melodic sound, Sigtyr, Feigd, Mistur, Iskald, Gjenferdsel, Galar, newer Immortal, and obviously Windir. All have myspace pages to give you a good idea of their sound.

Fistful of Lotion posted:Now I've got a question, do you guys switch genres a lot? Sometimes I find myself getting horribly jaded over black metal and I have to listen to other things for a while. What are your listening habits, if this is an appropriate place to ask. I've been on the longest black metal kick of my life the last few months, but I definitely need to switch gears every few months but I don't leave the realm of metal for anything but Blues. Death and stoner/doom are my other addictions in metal.

the wizards beard posted:I've never really understood this, even though I know people who are the same way. Seriously, nothing but metal or blues? You don't listen to anything else? Nope. I spent the first 15 years of my life trying out everything people said was great, and I hated music pretty much until a friend gave me Use Your Illusion 2. It was the first time music grabbed me as something FOR me. I HATE techno, electronica, indie, you name it I've probably tried it and turned it down. I want guitars and aggression in my music. Blues may not SOUND aggressive but it was the metal of its day. Very little music these days has balls.

the wizards beard posted:That's weird, I was like that until about 17 or 18 and then I started branching out (within metal and with other genres). I'm probably not going to change your mind but I just think it's strange that you don't (or can't) listen to other stuff, even if it as agressive as metal. You like stoner though, do you listen to pyschedelic stuff, or drone? Well the only thing that got me into metal in the first place is the only thing that's missing from everything else. My complete lack of interest in everything else I was exposed to, and it was a LOT of the musical spectrum, leads me to believe had I not had that one metalhead friend in highschool I'd probably still have no interest in music at all. As far as psychedelic, I really like Mammatus, Earthless, early Pelican and Zebulon Pike, but stuff like Phish and the Dead I can't stand. VERY little drone. In fact the only drone band I haven't gotten sick of after a few listens is The Deep Blue. It fits its name too well, and to me it just drones on and on. I think I just NEED that aggression, guitars being played so hard it could classify as instrument rape. This sums it up perfectly Rain Temple posted:
SammyWhereAreYou posted:There was a time when if you were a metalhead and you listened to anything BUT metal, you would get mercilessly teased. I mean, you could listen to the classic rock precursors to metal but that was about it. In 1988, if you had long hair and a denim jacket with a back patch of the Kill 'em All album cover on it (which I had), you absolutely could not admit to also liking, say, Depeche Mode. I wouldn't go that far

It makes me feel better that people in the home countries of these bands pay as much as I would have to to import them. Still doesn't make $20-30 per album any better to swallow, but I know I'm not the only one taking it in the mouth.

sephiroth669 posted:I haven't seen them mentioned in the thread anywhere, so I'll throw out Trelldom as a really good band. Or at least a band with a really good album: Til Et Annet... is classic BM sound (Darkthrone, Burzum, Taake etc) that's just catchy as poo poo. Also features Gaahl on vocals, I just now saw that. Anyway highly recommended for the old school appeal. I just found Trelldom in the last few months, I'm a fan. One of the few bands to keep the old sound these days.

I know Darkthrone isn't really BM anymore, but they're darkthrone so gently caress you. Their new album is loving awesome. Definitely their best of the crustpunk sound. Some songs even reach right into the 80's thrash closet. Oath Minus could pass for an old metallica B-side. Norway in September too, it loving rules.Not Very Metal posted:Hell yeah, I discovered them a couple of months ago as well. I've only got Till Minne, how is Til Et Annet? The production is a lot worse than Till Minne, I haven't been able to listen to it enough to know if I like it or not. You can't hear poo poo.

So Gaahl's come out of the closet finally. Personally I say being gay makes him more black metal since few things are as anti-christian as sodomy. There's an interview up on blabbermouth. He talks about the guy he tied up and thrashed for a day. He says the guy was sent after him after an altercation he had in jail during his first stint, and the stories in the paper were just stories. I guess he didn't want to talk about it and make a stink because that would be weak, handled his business on his own. het posted:Yeah, I'm digging it and noticed the thrash aspect too. I also like Hanging Out in Haiger a lot the song titles rule. HIKING METAL PUNKS! Morbid Florist fucked around with this message at 20:43 on Oct 29, 2008 |

Right anyone who doesn't agree with you MUST be a teenager  I'm old and idealistic. Black metal's entire purpose was to make music that wasn't accessible, but was raw, violent, as a push back against the watering down death metal took after it caught on. Basically what I see happening is that black metal is being led to slaughter of mediocrity and accessibility like death was. I personally think what's happening to BM, in this regard, is giving birth to black metal's metalcore and/or rap metal equivalent.
