Bushmeister posted:I'd take Immortal's later releases as being heavily tongue-in-cheek, ESPECIALLY 'Sons Of Northern Darkness'. I really think that their intention is not to be overtly serious with the lyrics and the subject matter and just rip out some good music and to have some fun. Yeah, any song with the lyrics "these mountains which I heart" can't be anything other than silly. But that is an incredible album.

Gris, Trist, and ColdWorld are top-notch depressive/suicidal black metal, and I will echo the other suggestions. But seriously, Gris's 2007 album Il était une forêt... is one of my favorite depressive black metal albums. Of all the bands, Nyktalgia definitely has the best vocals, though.

I live in Cary (can't wait to see Nevermore at Volume 11 tomorrow) and would be interested in joining this carpool if it happens. I'm still kicking myself for not going to MDF this year...what an incredible lineup it was. Gorguts, Watain, Nirvana 2002, The Chasm, Portal, Nazxul, Krallice, and a bunch of other great bands all in one place. Damnit. I saw Watain a couple years ago and it was one of the great memorable shows of my life, so seeing them again would have been a treat. Oh well.

Qu Appelle posted:Sweet, thank you. And I'll go check them out! Musically I'm in a rut, but that's partially my fault for not paying attention to new releases. For you and anyone else in the mood for folk/black metal, it would be a shame if you didn't hear Nokturnal Mortum's latest release Голос Сталі (The Voice of Steel). It's fantastic and currently has a 98% average on Metal-Archives. Easily one of the best of [barely] 2009 for me.

Plasma1010 posted:Taake - Noregs Vaapen I found to be better then expected. Weird change-up in the first song with Abbath's vocals, but otherwise pretty drat good I thought. I'm sure you guys discussed it some time ago, guess I missed it. Anything better then that come out in 2011 ? Found it to be a weak year, Evilfeast - Wintermoon Enchantment was good but it wasn't anything progressive or different for him. There's no shortage of excellent metal that came out last year, but since this is the black metal thread, I'll refrain from posting other subgenres and just recommend that you give Insane Vesper's Abomination of Death album a listen. Skogen's Svitjod album is pretty solid too, but it might not be what you're looking for (it's more in the vein of Drudkh and Fen than it is Taake). To be honest, I'm in the same situation in that I haven't listened to anything from 2011 more than Noregs Vaapen, but there's plenty of great stuff.

You'll definitely want to listen to the following: Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse Kvist - For Kunsten Maa Vi Evig Vike (received nowhere near enough exposure back in the day) Beherit - Drawing Down the Moon Dissection - The Somberlain That's a good start, and you could easily do much worse than almost anything on autothrall's list here.

Anyone who likes Keep of Kalessin's album Armada but is disappointed by the stuff they've put out lately should check out Nidingr. They've been around for ages and just released an album a couple months ago entitled Greatest of Deceivers. Excellent black/thrash with vocals that sound almost exactly like Trebon's: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqURdlAAd8M

kirkjames posted:Also, don't bring the greatest black metal ever made into this Bathory is important and influential, sure, but fairly boring in my opinion, and I'd say there are many black metal albums far surpassing anything Quorthon released. Kvist's For Kunsten Maa Vi Evig Vike immediately comes to mind, as does Tsjuder's Desert Northern Hell. I know, Bathory boring, them's fightin' words, but that's just how I feel.

For the guy looking for more melodic depressive black metal, definitely check out Sombres Forêts and Miserere Luminis (which is a collaboration between two members from Gris + one from Sombres Forêts), pretty much the only good bands I can think of that ElectricWizard didn't list. One quality they have is very impressive and varied drumming, not something you'd normally expect to hear in the genre. Should be right up your alley: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssdYLUafUOc And not quite in the same vein, but you could also try Lifelover - this whole album is fantastic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CnIKorqYu4

Not strictly black metal, but more epic death metal with a fairly strong black metal influence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ID9Jr5nOIZI If you like Grave Miasma at all, you'll probably like Desolate Shrine. They've put out what's definitely one of my favorite releases so far this year...yes I know it's barely been two weeks, but there's been a lot!

I know there are quite a few of you in the Raleigh area, and if you go to shows, you've maybe heard of Faith in Ashes and Heron, two popular but now defunct local bands. Well, there's a new project formed with former members from those bands, and it's loving fantastic. They just played their first show a couple nights ago, and though I don't have any clips, they released an EP a few weeks ago and it's on Bandcamp. The drummer's a friend of mine, so I might be biased, but this is some great poo poo. https://moynoq.bandcamp.com/ also Thy Darkened Shade rules
