 Re: Black Metal I finally got around to seeing Until the light takes us. It was pretty cool. I was bothered by how Varg shows no remorse at all for the murder. I mean, I love the guy's music but I have to kinda seperate the art from the artist and the bad past with Burzum. Varg can be a too extreme at times. Yet, at times in the movie he is funny, light-hearted, and well-spoken... He sounds good one second, then cold and ambivilant the next. Perhaps if he hadn't actually killed someone, It would be easier to overlook his extreme politics, church burnings, ect... Fenriz on the otherhand seemed more like an average music loving metalhead. I'd probably rather chill with him....  Check it out if you haven't seen it already.

Re: Black Metal Parka wrote: Yeah, I couldn't give a toss if a band is chucked together with the sole purpose of selling records as long as what they're putting out is pretty decent. Ghost are basically a 'supergroup' of a couple of Swedish bands, they made a downloadable demo and then Fenriz hailed them as the next big thing. Unfortunately hes missed the mark with these guys (check out his podcast for some genuinely good stuff) as they sound mostly powerless, wearyingly derivative and suspiciously insincere-sounding retro glam-pop with wacky sub-Death SS horror gimmickry. And their gigs last 20-minute gigs in which they spend hours applying shed loads of make-up for. In the meantime decent material gets looked over such as Reverend Bizarre, and its only when they disappear do people start listening to them  I didn't know they were doing it as a gimmick or joke or something, it sounded sincere enough to me but thanks for the information. I don't really keep up with the details as much anymore. I hear a lot of Mercyful Fate connections with them by fans/nonfans/reviews which I just don't get. Fate was generally faster and had a lot more edge. I mean there's the whole "satanic message but not so heavy and brutal" thing I guess, but Fate's incomparable.

I think if you take away the theatrics/lyrics/imagery then yeah, they are pretty incomparable but I can kind of see where they are coming from. Especially on albums like Melissa. In general though, its a lazy comparison. This thread seems to have diverged away from BM so erm, go listen to Jex Thoth

Re: Black Metal I love Jex Thoth. I like Watain. I also love Wolves in the Throne Room, Panopticon, Addaura, deafheaven, Weakling, Twilight, Gallowbraid, Woe, Cobalt and tons of other USBM. I must be a hipster fucking poseur.
All of this hubbub about Ghost is going to make me check them out as well.
I take it no one is going to Agalloch then?

All you need (or at least a very solid start): Mayhem: Deathcrush, De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas Darkthrone: A Blaze in the Nothern Sky, Transylvanian Hunger Burzum: Filosofem, Det Som Engang Var

Re: Black Metal I listen to Mayhem, Darkthrone and especially Burzum. I just prefer better music.

Re: Black Metal So basically Oslo is to BM as Seattle is to Grunge? Put that on the SAT test and see if you get cultural bias complaints.  Mentioned these dudes before. May be derivative poseur crap but it sounded good to me. I like the vocals and the bassist plays like he is the center of attention. Pointing his bass at the audience like a gun and doing a long Cliff Burton melodic solo.  Lightening Swords of Death

Re: Black Metal Burzum, Mayhem, Hellhammer, Darkthrone Immortal, Carpathian Forest, Satyricon, Skeletonwitch (Black Metal/Thrash Metal), Marduk, and Watain are so far in my library. Lately though i've been really into Carpathian Forest.

Re: Black Metal Black metal is easily my favorite genre of music these days. I love death metal & doom metal a lot too, but black metal definitely gets most of my listening time anymore. I've been listening to a lot of Sear Bliss & Krallice lately. I just discovered the side project of "Winter" who is a former member of Sear Bliss, Forest Silence. Great stuff IMO. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpGs4IFcI6k I also just ordered the new Fen which sounds like it could be the best thing they have done so far.

Re: Black Metal Hellhammer and Venom and Bathory all suck more than those other bands. (I'm kidding, just trolling here.) Anyone posting here who has never heard Funeral Mist, please check out Maranatha immediately. It's one of my favorite albums ever, let alone bm or not. Oh, while on the previous subject of USBM: Check this out. For those not keeping track, Jef Whitehead is Wrest of Leviathan, Twilight, Lurker of Chalice, Nachtmystium, Sunn O))), etc.

Classical music beeing close second in my heart and brains. Same here! Well except for that At war with satan part...never heard of them. True some of the newer bands may be much better musicians, and of course the original 80's black metal is great, but there was just something perfect about the second wave stuff. Those albums I listed just sound SO good. I love the DIY aspect of those albums. They sound so cold and poorly produced, combined with the cheap DIY artwork on a lot of those... Just frickin' perfect in my book.

Re: Black Metal Eww I heard that Ghost band... Not a fan, well judging from the samples I heard at least... Check this album out for some cool Sabbath inspired throwback sounds (Sorry NOT black metal):
