You're all wrong because the new Countess album is the best album of the year.

I went to Sworn's myspace page to check them out and it sounds like some guys in a melodic death metal band thought it would be really cool to make black metal. I don't get it.

Why would someone need to stand up for non-scandinavian black metal? Pretty much all the good stuff is from places that aren't Scandinavia.

You can easily skip Ravishing Grimness. I'd suggest you get Soulside Journey but that's really a death metal album. It is still completely and totally awesome.

The title track of Pure Holocaust has the Imperial March as the chorus riff. Once you hear you can't ever un-hear it.

I think it's because they're poo poo. Saying that it's one of the best albums you've ever bought really doesn't mean anything without some sort of context, for all we know you own 5 albums and the other four are even worse than this one. There is plenty of black metal out there better than Wolves in the Throne Room though.

I guess some people use the term "hipster black metal" to describe certain bands that are popular mainly because of immense hype (Weakling, Xasthur, Wolves in the Throne Room that sort) rather than any sort of quality output and it's fairly easy to get tired of all these people who just eat up whatever Southern Lord and Hydra Head pushes who goes on about how they're the best black metal bands ever. Or maybe people just like the word "hipster", I don't know.

It has some pretty annoying drum production though, and on the same theme drums that seem to overpower everything in the mix. Then again, the band leader is the drummer so it is to be expected.

The best thing about Pure Holocaust is that they stuck the Imperial March melody right into the chorus of the title track.

I'm sure that Norway is fairly similar to Denmark in that a life sentence usually doesn't mean more than 14 years. The only way to really get locked away forever is if you're deemed to be criminally insane, then they can lock you up for good. The longest time served in modern time in Denmark was 33 years and he was only kept in so long because he shot four cops during a robbery.

If you like the sort of melodic black metal you should really listen to Barathrum's "Legions of Perkele". I will concede that "Eerie" is the best Barathrum album, but it is pretty different from Legions.

Morbid Florist posted:Eerie is all they have up on their myspace page. Does the production get better at all? I can only hear the drums and an occasional guitar/bass line besides the singer. It's like the guitarist was in the next room or something While I don't the production is particularly bad on Eerie, it is different on Legions of Perkele. You can hear one of the songs from the album here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVlU8pw8hwc

Maybe I will dispute. If we're limited to ten I'd say these are the essential black metal albums in no particular order: Bathory - Under the Sign of the Black Mark Venom - Black Metal Sodom - In the Sign of Evil Mercyful Fate - Don't Break the Oath Sarcofago - I.N.R.I Hellhammer - Apocalyptic Raids Bathory - The Return... Beherit - Drawing Down the Moon Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger Necromantia/Varathron - Black Arts/The Everlasting Sin

There's no real need to bother with Dark Funeral. You'd probably be better off listening to bands like Craft and Pest (the german one, the 'Vado Mori' album in particular) who aren't really anything special either but they manage to pretty much perfectly execute their chosen style of black metal. Also, listen to Sargatanas if you like that stuff that is basically death metal mixed with black metal. 'Knights of the Southern Cross' is a great album.

Bubble Bathory posted:Where should I start with Countess? It kinda depends what sort of black metal you like. The official Countess site ( http://www.barbarianwrath.org/Countess/ ) has two songs up from each album so that is probably the easiest way to find out what you'd like. The earlier albums are more traditional black metal and from Spawn of Steel and onwards Orlok is more or less mixing old school heavy metal with black metal.

saigon_15 posted:It's pretty far from most of their other stuff, but The Shining Swords of Hate is one of my absolute favourite BM albums ever. Bleak, distant, atmospheric, droning goodness all around. It is a great album, Orlok has some amusing things to say about it as well. quote:In September and October '98 we had recorded the Revenge albums, but we didn't do much after that. We rehearsed a couple of times in early '99, but we didn't really have anything to work towards, not to mention the fact that we were all busy with other things as well, so for the remainder of the year COUNTESS didn't do anything, with the exception of the album From The Wells Of Chaos that I recorded on my own in the summer, but quickly discarded as not good enough to be put out. It is just typical Orlok. After recording two full lengths and before releasing them he recorded and discarded another full length album only to then go and write and record Shining Swords in two weeks. Also, I wonder how you program a drum machine to be sloppy.

If he manages to get out this year the new Countess album will obviously be the best. If not, it will be the best album of 2010.

Nokturnal Mortum is pretty funny in that you can trace their shifting ideologies through the various band logos they've used over time. It starts a pretty generic logo, then the standard inverted cross then more inverted crosses and suddenly BAM!, swastikas alongside the inverted crosses and then the random pagan/celtic style dragon things to show that they're now just proud of their cultural heritage rather than nazis. The most hilarious thing was the re-issue of Lunar Poetry which had a swastika made of AK-47s in the booklet.

Can I just recommend an oft overlooked US black metal band called Gravewürm. Not to be confused with the italians called Graveworm and who aren't very good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7pnChV4ShU They play in that oldschool Hellhammer/Sodom style and it doesn't really matter which of their first four albums you listen to since they're all pretty much the same style. Fuzzy production, no frills, just nice and old school. In a similar vein, another incredibly overlooked band is Heretic from the Netherlands. They play a very nice slowpaced Hellhammer inspired black&roll style and believe very much in the fuzzy production and bass overdose. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQ3K0NjK-UM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYjl3XMkh78 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoBwr2wQWvI They seem to have changed up quite a bit for their 2009 album "Gods Over Humans, Slaves Under Satan" however. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHVTxwaqdEo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86bEClmIvng
