2011 Rolling Black Metal thread

A thread for those who want to discuss new BM but dont want to start a new thread on every "minor" album.

― Algerian Goalkeeper, Saturday, 19 March 2011 07:43 (2 years ago) Permalink

This is my fave BM release of 2011 so far. I think I recommended it to Glenn but I cant remember what he thought of it

― Algerian Goalkeeper, Sunday, 20 March 2011 02:02 (2 years ago) Permalink

Thought the logo said "Queen" for a second.

When this board is deleted please can we keep this thread so we can discuss stuff that does kinda get lost on the rolling thread?

seriously?

dude there are 6 posts on the thread! two of them concern the thread title! you can probably start a new version of it that will be the same from memory!

rolling metal moves fast with promo talk and by the time the rest of us hear something the chat is lost. its a bugger to search too. smaller genre specific rolling threads would strike a balance between the big thread and a sub-board

xp obv

smithy it would be no hassle for jjj to move it over. saves me from starting a new thread on each one plus if people have posted on threads shouldn't the threads be allowed to stay?
I'd hope that since the unwanted board will likely be deleted you might at least post on the sub-genre rolling threads as a bit of a compromise

― Algerian Goalkeeper, Sunday, 20 March 2011 18:58 (2 years ago) Permalink

oooh it seems Fen have a split CD album with De Arma just come out this week

― Algerian Goalkeeper, Sunday, 20 March 2011 19:36 (2 years ago) Permalink

oh cool this thread was moved over. Hope it survives, would like good stuff recommended for me to check out.

― Algerian Goalkeeper, Sunday, 20 March 2011 22:52 (2 years ago) Permalink

cant find anywhere in uk selling these

― Algerian Goalkeeper, Monday, 21 March 2011 00:05 (2 years ago) Permalink

not even norman recs or second layer have them, dj mencap you got anything i could check?

― Algerian Goalkeeper, Monday, 21 March 2011 02:10 (2 years ago) Permalink

i like fen, and i really like bm logos like that, that look kinda messily runic or celtic.

on that note, ever hear of cirrhus? vocalist from Bone Awl

I haven't but I do dig me some Bone Awl , I have 1 LP and a tape (complete with barbed wire!)

― Algerian Goalkeeper, Monday, 21 March 2011 02:55 (2 years ago) Permalink

they have a new 7" out and it kicks ass

― ☠ (roxymuzak), Monday, 21 March 2011 03:00 (2 years ago) Permalink

oh i think i have a 7" somewhere too. they have so much stuff tho.

― Algerian Goalkeeper, Monday, 21 March 2011 03:04 (2 years ago) Permalink

i meant cirrhus

― ☠ (roxymuzak), Monday, 21 March 2011 03:05 (2 years ago) Permalink

ahh right. Is it different to bone awl?

― Algerian Goalkeeper, Monday, 21 March 2011 03:05 (2 years ago) Permalink

I haven't heard much new black metal this year, but I'm enjoying
Silva Nigra's The New Age For The New God. I like this one better
than an older one I heard by them. They are pretty much steeped in
an old Darkthrone approach, but with some of the new Watain-like intensity
and a near-black/thrash approach in places.

I'm listening to the new Raspberry Bulbs (Bone Awl side project).
It's just something I happened to stumble upon. Not sure how it compares
to the mother band. It's a pretty literal, ultra-raw blend of black and punk.
It's interesting, but I'm not sure if it's anything that's going to stick with me.
Kinda reminds me of stuff Ildjarn did in his early days, but not as good.

― serenchwilen, Monday, 21 March 2011 03:30 (2 years ago) Permalink

I've been meaning to give that new Fen a listen,
and I probably should go back and listen to Bone Awl proper.
Can't quite remember what they are like.

― serenchwilen, Monday, 21 March 2011 03:33 (2 years ago) Permalink

pretty much a mix of Punk n BM!

― Algerian Goalkeeper, Monday, 21 March 2011 03:34 (2 years ago) Permalink

and yeah give Fen a listen, one of the best things I've heard this year so far. I keep recommending it to Glenn but he hasn't responded so I think that must mean he already heard it and hates it as usual hahaha

― Algerian Goalkeeper, Monday, 21 March 2011 03:36 (2 years ago) Permalink

And there's a new Negative Plane out that I haven't seen anyone mention on the boards here.
For me, it's not living up to the heaps of praise I've read in reviews, but it's growing on me.
Maybe a couple more listens and I'll start to really get it.

― serenchwilen, Monday, 21 March 2011 03:48 (2 years ago) Permalink

will seek out Fen next...

― serenchwilen, Monday, 21 March 2011 03:50 (2 years ago) Permalink

i still have a long way to go to get up to speed with BM. theres still lots of old stuff ive never heard but will be trying to keep up with stuff in here

― Algerian Goalkeeper, Monday, 21 March 2011 03:53 (2 years ago) Permalink

What else is in the atmospheric BM style? (apart from burzum,wittr obv)

― Algerian Goalkeeper, Monday, 21 March 2011 03:53 (2 years ago) Permalink

And hopefully nate will come in here with news of a dispirit release. I need to hear more of them!

Roxy do you have their tape? Its john gossard from Weakling.

― Algerian Goalkeeper, Monday, 21 March 2011 05:38 (2 years ago) Permalink

recently got Watain's Sworn to the Dark here, and i honestly can't believe how much i dig these guys' essential aesthetic impetus. like, wow!

meanwhile: still waiting on the new Burzum.

― Ioannis, Monday, 21 March 2011 08:02 (2 years ago) Permalink

Essential aesthetic impetus... You mean steez?

Ioannis is it not out yet?

― Algerian Goalkeeper, Monday, 21 March 2011 14:43 (2 years ago) Permalink

Oh btw Roxy what do you think of new Burzum? Agree it's better than Belus?

― Algerian Goalkeeper, Monday, 21 March 2011 14:44 (2 years ago) Permalink

i actually loved belus and havent listened to this one enough yet to really draw a comparison, but i do really like it on first couple listens and think its p unique

― ☠ (roxymuzak), Monday, 21 March 2011 14:50 (2 years ago) Permalink

I'm digging that Deafheaven that someone posted on RM 2011.

Agree with all on the Fen. They are great at atmosphere.

Negative Plane hasn't hit me yet, but I've only listened a couple of times. Think you need to steep in their sound for awhile before it sinks in.

Anyone heard the Ash Eaters demo yet? Brown Jenkins guy doing something new. That might be cool.

― Brooker T Buckingham, Monday, 21 March 2011 15:20 (2 years ago) Permalink

I think this thread is a great idea, btw. Didn't seem like there was a whole lot of interest in BM on the RM thread.

― Brooker T Buckingham, Monday, 21 March 2011 15:20 (2 years ago) Permalink

haven't heard it yet but cosmo's review really made me want to listen asap, obv i got the free download

― ☠ (roxymuzak), Monday, 21 March 2011 15:23 (2 years ago) Permalink

― ☠ (roxymuzak), Monday, 21 March 2011 15:23 (2 years ago) Permalink

i want that fen/de arma split really bad

― ☠ (roxymuzak), Monday, 21 March 2011 15:27 (2 years ago) Permalink

i want both but cant find a UK distro and the £ is really shit against the euro just now

― Algerian Goalkeeper, Monday, 21 March 2011 15:35 (2 years ago) Permalink

so can anyone recommend me some more atmospheric BM like fen? that's the stuff i've been in the mood for rather than raw stuff

― Algerian Goalkeeper, Monday, 21 March 2011 15:36 (2 years ago) Permalink

oh dude! dark ambient/ambient black metal/black ambient thread for recommendations and discussion
^thread got me into what are now some of my favorite bands

― ☠ (roxymuzak), Monday, 21 March 2011 15:38 (2 years ago) Permalink

particularly Dark Ages, but i'm not sure if that's BM enough for what you're looking for
really great stuff from the guy that does Drudkh, but i think we've talked about this before
anyway lots and lots of good recommendations on that thread

― ☠ (roxymuzak), Monday, 21 March 2011 15:39 (2 years ago) Permalink

drudkh? ok i'll give it a shot. doesnt need to be too BM since you know atmospheric post rock/metal/sludge is my thing too. Just as long as i can hear some BM stuff too. I really liked the last Drudkh but i know some heads moaned it was too post rock and not metal enough.

― Algerian Goalkeeper, Monday, 21 March 2011 15:42 (2 years ago) Permalink

also he's a nazi so feel free to illegally download

― ☠ (roxymuzak), Monday, 21 March 2011 15:44 (2 years ago) Permalink

oh yeah i like Darkspace and some xasthur

― Algerian Goalkeeper, Monday, 21 March 2011 15:45 (2 years ago) Permalink

Drudkh is awesome. Start at the beginning of the catalog and work your way forwards. It's a rewarding trek.

Check out the Ides Of Gemini for some forward-thinking atmospheric BM. Almost has a british isles folk vibe. Clean, haunting female vocals. They have a release called The Disruption Writ you can listen to/buy on Bandcamp.

― Brooker T Buckingham, Monday, 21 March 2011 15:46 (2 years ago) Permalink

i guess wraiths count? i have one of their lps

i know all of the drudkh (as roxy knows i avoided them for a long time but the band released a statement saying theyre not nazis or far right or fascists so i see no reason not to believe them)

― Algerian Goalkeeper, Monday, 21 March 2011 15:48 (2 years ago) Permalink

oh and im looking forward to the new wrath of the weak, anyone heard that yet?

― Algerian Goalkeeper, Monday, 21 March 2011 15:48 (2 years ago) Permalink

maybe not metal enough for the rolling metal thread so i'll post it here this sounds like this scottish band might be ideal for those of you who enjoy atmospheric celtic shoegazy black metal
http://www.lordsofmetal.nl/showreview.php?id=19712&lang=en

I'm guessing they may sound a bit like agalloch and alcest. Just going to give it a listen now

You might also like the Old Silver Key album. Which is Drudkh with Neige of Alcest on vox. (clean vox) its pretty much a shoegaze album

― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Wednesday, 21 September 2011 19:36 (1 year ago) Permalink

that is a very appealing cover

― some lady (La Lechera), Wednesday, 21 September 2011 19:39 (1 year ago) Permalink

It's not as heavy as i hoped, I didn't think it was going to be as shoegazy I expected a heavy album with clean vox. But i think it will appeal to a lot of people on here.

― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Wednesday, 21 September 2011 19:49 (1 year ago) Permalink

And this is also Glennmusic I think

If you dont like synths in BM its not for you

― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Wednesday, 21 September 2011 20:15 (1 year ago) Permalink

These album covers are all terrible. When did BM covers get so shitty and gothy looking?

― Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Wednesday, 21 September 2011 21:05 (1 year ago) Permalink

1992?

― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Wednesday, 21 September 2011 23:45 (1 year ago) Permalink

How about this cover?

Looking forward to playing this

― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 22 September 2011 00:06 (1 year ago) Permalink

haha Appalachian Winter are totally OTT. It's like if Laibach made an epic black metal album. You will either hate it after the vox kick in or you will love it. Not the usual kinda BM i like but somehow the ridiculousness hits the spot. Worth checking out just to see your reactions.

Not sure i'll recommend it in the rolling metal thread though, i might get chased out haha

― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 22 September 2011 01:18 (1 year ago) Permalink

I like that album cover better. More prog than BM though obv.

― Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Thursday, 22 September 2011 02:11 (1 year ago) Permalink

Absu covers are great. Got new album but its a bit late to play. Had a listen to the 1st track and insane drumming as ever.

― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 22 September 2011 02:55 (1 year ago) Permalink

New Absu album is killer.

That Raspbery Bulbs LP is awesome. Like a blackened Misfits circa Static Age. Would love to catch them live now that they're performing a ton in NYC. Was able to score a shirt off his label's site, Seedstock records. Pink BM shirts are the future

just ordered this as I loved their previous albums. Don't know a single thing about them apart from the fact they're from the Ukraine, but if you like Drudkh or Agalloch then you will probably like Raventale

Format: Digi CD
Release Date: 10.10.2011
Country: Ukraine
Genre: Depressive Black Metal

Buy CD

The fifth, conceptual album of the Ukranian band Raventale has without doubt become the most sophisticated, sensual and mature work of the band. «Bringer Of Heartsore» is also the most atmospheric one of all the works by the project of the talented musician Astaroth who succeeded to express nostalgic autumn mood and beauty of nature by means of verses of famous poet of Silver Age Alexander Blok which provided more depth to the album concept. The musical part, as always, features metamorphoses as the musician follows his rule to introduce changes to every following album. The compositions feature brilliant solo guitar parts associated with classical progressive rock and dramatic acoustic guitar instrumentals. The CD is issued as a limited edition digipack, and its booklet includes fragments of the canvases by greatest Russian painters of 19th century: I. Aivasovsky and I. Levitan delivering additional strokes to the mood of Raventale music.

Tracklist:

1. Anything Is Void
2. Twilight, The Vernal Dusk
3. http://solitude-prod.com/mp3/raventale_-_these_days_of_sorrow.mp3

Ave Maria – Chapter I

― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 11 October 2011 21:46 (1 year ago) Permalink

Raventale - Transcendence
Format: CD
Release Date: 01.10.2012
Country: Ukraine
Genre: Atmospheric Black Metal

The sixth album of Raventale once again discovers the band creativity to the attentive listeners. «Transcendence» presents majestic and deep music performed in style of savage black metal; this album features perfect sound, performance, musical and lyrical content. Without a doubt, this is one of the best works of Raventale. Conceptually «Transcendence»is on the threshold of the Epoch of the Six Sun. The main aim of the work is contemplation of transcendental and exorbitant forms of being against the background of conventionality and immanent degradation of modern civilization.
