Hmm, only one mention for Chicago's very own Nachtmystium? One amazing band and really solid live \m/

Don't get me wrong, I think they're great, but they're barely really BM anymore. I guess you still might call them psychedelic black metal, but with each release the emphasis is way more on the other aspects than the standard BM proceedings. Not that that's a bad thing, but....

That's funny -- I'm curious to see what you have that was done by him!

I've been listening to a lot of 'Cascadian' bm lately -- Addaura, Alda, Dispirit, Krallice, Panopticon, Skagos, Threnos and the like. I love it dearly.

Available on netflix streaming....great story even if your not into BM:

Recently I've really been getting into Xasthur. Really weird stuff, but it rules. Any fans on here?

Not trve x kvlt, but BM is more spirit than sound anyways.



A concept album that is actually good ;

Mamaleek - Kurdaitcha
http://www.enemieslist.net/mamaleek/


Certainly not kvlt at all, either, but I highly recommend this to bm fans who are adventurous listeners in the least bit.

Also recommended bm / post-rock / shoegaze influenced stuff:
Cold Body Radiation - The Great White Emptiness (one of my favorite releases of 2010)
deafheaven - Demo
deafheaven - Roads to Judah
Heretoir - .Existenz.
Hypomanie - A City in Mono
Lantlôs - .neon
Murmuüre - s/t (highly, highly recommended)
Sleeping Peonies - Ghosts, and Other Things

^ deafheaven are pretty fantastic, equal parts Krallice and Mono. Strange they were picked up by deathwish.
Cold body radiation sound great, thanks for the heads up
Negative Plane is a great band I just found out about, loud.brutal.beautiful

is that new burzum any good i need to hear it but i bought the new rotten sound instead i am more of a grind death guy first then i dabble in the black after... carcass is to blame for that

holy run-on sentence batman yes it is good please check it out is worth a listen for sure I personally think it is one of his best albums

Y'all just a bunch of pussies tbpfh ...

i am disappoint.

i actually have this on heavy rotation atm.

The movie a lot of those clips are from (August Underground's Mordum) is pretty lame / great.

Aaanyway, back on topic. I've been listening to a lot of old doom stuff lately, but as for bm:

Ash Borer - s/t
Ash Borer / Fell Voices - Split
Fell Voices - s/t
Fell Voices - Untitled
Lake of Blood - As Time and Tide Erodes Stone (really decent atmospheric melodic usbm)
Petrychor - Dryad
Velnias - Sovereign Nocturnal (kind of blackened folk usbm)

Checking out that album right now -- Really liking it so far, thank you.

Really well done Australian atmospheric bm. Can't wait to get this one on vinyl.

Nattefrost's piss anyone?

Thats one of those things that i should see and say "thats so metal" but the words can not seem to form... I'm at a loss.

"Liturgy are the first black metal band that truly embodies the ghosts of New York. They play metal like it's a minimalist downtown art/life/religion project in the tradition of dronemasters Glenn Branca, Rhys Chatham and La Monte Young's Dream Syndicate. Through their own brand of growling, gnarling, lightning-fast black grind, Liturgy try to find euphoria through dissonance, repetition and volume--turning metal nightmares into something ready for the Dream House.
-Village Voice"

HAHAHAHAHA ! Fuck you Liturgy, that BM band truly embodies the ghosts of New York !

BLACK METAL PAD THAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAI

I like both Liturgy and Hemlock. But, haters gonna hate.
I have not heard the new Liturgy yet, though. Curious if it's any good.

I've been listening to this a lot lately: Shaidar Logoth - Chapter I: The Peddler



It's free, just put $0 in the amount field.

I have been thinking about starting to collect bm cassettes. I probably don't need to chase any other formats (after amassing quite a vinyl collection over only one year into it, with no plans of stopping), so it might just be a fleeting desire. I've got a shitty boombox that I purchased solely to listen to a tape, but does anyone happen to have any input in this department? Know of any good but inexpensive tape decks, etc.?

I sounds like Bring Me the Horizon.

The new Primordial is great.It's plain old Heavy Metal now.
Tapes are cool looking but they always fuck up after a while.

Oh, wow, ouch... lol. Still, would like to check it out for myself.

Have you heard Christian Mistress? You seem to be into a lot of different genres, which is great, so I'm curious what you'd think of them.
