Black Metal drop-in centre

^ Damn, I still don't have that one... I hope to get it soon, though. 

Sounds good.  I prefer their earlier works (like most people), but I'm still excited for this one anyway. They're among my favorite black metal acts.

They seem to trigger lots of attention from non-black metal people nowadays, and I can see why: they do have their own thing going on with beautiful melodies. Season of Mist certainly has a role in the sudden rise of popularity too, though.

I hope the pressure of popularity doesn't affect the band's sound. Right now I have my doubts based on that one listen of the newest album, which seemed to include elements of the current fashionable genres (post-rock / shoegaze). I must say, it wasn't something that I would have expected from a band that praises estrangement and individualism. This, plus the recent re-releases with more compressed sound and more new-ageish cover arts (glad I own all the originals!), makes me doubtful in regard to their future releases... But I won't nag about it more, since this is all just my dystopic imagination.

ther was once an episode of Bones where they investigated a case surrouning a black metal concert, and many referances to Norway (even some spoke the language).

Listening to the new Arckanum, good stuff again. Too bad the cover art is pretty subpar compared to the previous two...




...and now...





Have you Jonas heard the band? You could like some of his stuff, probably Antikosmos at least.
(sucky sound quality on that clip)

Yeah, Arckanum. Did a comeback in the late 2000s, black metal with perhaps a touch of death and doom in there too, partially at least. "Antikosmos" particularly is something I'd recommend, though many seem to dislike it.

Anyone got thought's on the new(ish) D�dsengel album mirium occultum...



...worth picking up?

Cheers, been a short while.

I'll have a poke 'round the net to see if I can pick it up cheap. Besides Arckanum any other new-ish releases I should keep my eye on? 

Gotta say this album's grown on me over the last couple of months.


Dark Tribe - In Jeraspunta - Die R�ckkehr der tollw�tigen Bestie

A manic vocalist straight outta the asylum and riffs that grate at your ears like gravel, 'tis a good night in, methinks :)

That Dark Tribe sounded maniacal - should check it out soon!

Speaking of such weird stuff, I'm digging the debut of Anguished, a female fronted black metal project, the debut album just came out. Jesus, those vocals...

I've heard too many new BM releases lately so I'm too confused to name other good albums, hah... I'll write another reply here later when I can form my thoughts better.
