Black Metal drop-in centre

So I�ve actually only listened to Gnaw Their Tongues and De Magia Veterum ( I guess the related projects part of my statement sounds a bit wrong). Metal Archives list these acts too: Ophiuchus, Pompidou, Aderlating, Dimlit Hate Cellar, Astral as acts Mories have been involved in. Do you know any of them and are any of them recommendable?   Oh yeah and I�m glad you liked the review. It didn�t take long to write but it took me a year to come up with the words.

I'm only one up on you. I've got the two full length Aderlating albums. Devotional Hymns is rating reasonably highly in my '10 albums. The Nectar of Perversity Spring From the Well of Repression retains a little more of the tenuous relations to Black Metal, but only just, and chops and changes a little more frequently than the latest. Devotional Hymns is basically stripped of these links, and at times sounds like it's been recorded inside a jet engine. I like to think of it as 'dark noise'. Sometimes it reminds of how �thenor (different sound palette) tried to simulate the effects of insomnia, but with Aderlating it is a self imposed situation, more monotonous and devastating. 

Cheers for the heads up on the box-set.  

Speaking of noisy / droney black metal, I just recently added Wrath of the Weak here, of which album Alogon is quite good in my opinion. Said to sound too much like Velvet Cacoon but what the hell, it's good nonetheless methinks.

I've been listening to some Gnaw Their Tongues stuff lately... that music scares me to death but something about it captivates me...

I've literally had a few nightmares from that music!

^ I've heard about Horn many times but never listened to it. Maybe it's now finally time, heh.

Edit: I am familiar  with the same member's other band Licht Erlischt..., actually just its demo,  but it was quite good I remember. Now playing it...

It indeed is a bit slow and the focus is certainly on atmosphere. Dark stuff. Nothing ground-breaking but good nonetheless. Added both bands to MMA.

^ I totally agree with UMUR!

Haven't heard that one yet. Added the band to the database here, though. :-)

They do release loads of material, hard to keep track of all the million releases. I still haven't heard anything totally great, though. I've heard:

- Nji. Njiijn. Njiiijn. (first reaction was 'meh' but I need to take another listen)
- Yrg Alms (probably the best of what I've heard so far)
- Forr Saantae (reviewed here)
- Of Beasts and Blossoms (acoustic, simple & good stuff)

i have to check other Njiqahdda albums, hard work it is. i haven't heard of Sorgeldom , i am currently downloading their latest. i finaly heard  Mutiilation, but i was dissapointed, quite boring, and was hoping that they are french , there is hell of a great black there, but not Mutiilation. recently  I heard czech band Trist, depressive black metal, very good one. For the past few weeks i am obsessed with Lifelover, man that is fuckin awesome, i fell in love in that music. new Lantl�s is good. i heard some greek band Transcending Bizarre? , surprisingly good black metal, avanguarde - symphonic or something, 

Somehow I've missed that band too, heard good things about it, though!

I've been bashing some albums with negative reviews now - although I did write a positive one about Anu's debut. So that's basically the album that I've loved lately.


Very bad sound quality on that youtube clip, though. Can't almost hear the riffs that are in big role on that song / album...

Edit: Some of that ambient sweetness on the album, me likes very much:



Edit: Wow, the audio quality sucks bad on that clip too - can't even hear the female vocals...
