2011 Rolling Black Metal thread

huh, they've increased the price of the RBs now (I guess it's not a pre-order now?) but I just bought a CoO anyway - even if these come to the UK they'll prolly cost more than that - good lookin out

that's probably it, dont really wanna spend an extra $4 so im glad i ordered now.

Re: Drudkh - if you don't like this it's clearly not for you.

I like their music a lot (same with burzum) I guess if they are a bit "dodgy" or even outright vile like varg, i can listen to their music but not pay for it and buy stuff from those i want to. If the lyrics promote that stuff though then I'm out. Gotta draw a line somewhere, but i'm not gonna call someone who separates the music from the people making nazi's. I will however call actual neo nazis/racists/fascists cunts or dicks or wankers or whatever though!

so where do you fall on drudkh, then?

spotify!

you bought the last drudkh didnt you?

i did, it's alright but not really all that compelling. i dont get spotify here tho :(

if you don't want it i can take freebies without having a crisis of conscience!

hah, i just got it! ;)

the blood of innocent Poles is on your hands....

i know we've discussed this before on ILM- where is our handy "cheat sheet" of dodgy NSBM & related bands to avoid purchasing from...?

I tried making one for neofolk and I was successful in naming like 3 bands total that weren't dodgy.... kinda sad. I'd say probably most all US BM is fine... unless they get Phil Anselmo involved.

didnt we have a past thread abt it someplace?

quite possibly but it probably wasnt even on a metal thread haha. it was probably something that was derailed

oh well i guess you created a new one.

ok the circle of ouroborus was out on cd already so found an erm digital version that will tide me over til the lp arrives. Liking it so far!

that hit the spot, exactly what i was looking for

okay who else is going to the agalloch / worm ouroborous / daniel menche show at LPR in nYc tuesday night? I'll be there so say hey ilxorz

i assume nate will be there?

yes i know all about circle of ouroborus, finnish BM is my forte

Anything else in a similar vein you could recommend?

New Blut Aus Nord has leaked. Will report back after listening.

I'll be at Agalloch tonite. Pretty damn psyched. Know nothing about Worm Ouroborous though.

oohh must look for the BaN album.

AG, check your email.

CoO are interesting, can't totally back the vocals. I really like Key though, Neo-folk project of some of the guys in it. http://www.handmadebirds.com/store/D-008.php

Are the Black Twilight Circle bands from LA on anyone's radar? Arizmenda/Volahn/Ashdautas/Kallathon/Dolorvotre/Blue Hummingbird on the Left, etc etc. Interesting mix of LLN worship and Mexican BM in the vein of Xibalba with a heavy focus on Mayan mythology lyrically. They'll be going on a somewhat extensive tour this Spring/Summer.

brooker i already found it thanks i dont have your webemail tho.

oh wait gmail put the ilx robot thing in spam

Ryan, i dont know anything about those bands, first ive even heard of them, heh

I've only checked out that BTC comp "Worship Black Twilight." It's pretty solid. I've been meaning to check out more Ashdautas and Volahn. There's a really good crusty d-beat band in that circle whose name has escaped me. I found their demo trolling through the blogs and it really hit me hard.

i know its probably not quite the correct thread, but has anyone heard the more recent Blue Sabbath Black Cheer stuff? I don't recall any chat on the rolling metal thread about them. I figured this is as good a place as anywhere to ask. Bimble was into them hehe. He was the only one whoever chatted about them. Sure miss him.

yeah I do too; I'd love to get into some BSBC

I have quite a few tapes and a couple of vinyls but stan just keeps releasing so much stuff and with the exchange rate + postage from usa doubling a year or two ago, it just became impossible to keep up.

Bimble loved Borre Fen if you want to hear something he would have recommended if he was still alive.

he liked a good few other ones but i cant remember offhand which ones

oh yeah he loved this one too

http://www.discogs.com/Blue-Sabbath-Black-Cheer-Untitled/master/58250

he had a blog post about how goth they were and stan posted about it on forever doomed and i told him how i knew him and was the one he referred to in the article (a scottish friend who introduced them to BSBC)

brooker i replied to your webmail btw

anybody else find j. bennett's Fallen review in the April dB a little...um...odd, maybe? i mean, a Vincent-fucking-Price comparison? like, c'mon, dude!

Yeah, it's another rather cautious review.

i dunno--he sez Belus was his fave 2010 release, so...? i just found his overall critique somewhat beside the point, i guess. still haven't listened to the new one, tho, so what do i know?

Is it online? Decibel doesn't cross over the atlantic. Not even to subscribers in ireland iirc

not online, i don't think.

Way xpost: "Are the Black Twilight Circle bands from LA on anyone's radar?"

Fuck, yes, and available youtube footage suggests they can deliver that super-necro LLN sound live.

just about to play the Blut Aus Nord now, any thoughts on it yet brooker?

I haven't listened yet! Hopefully tonight. Thanks for the message. I'll respond shortly!

ok cool!

"they can deliver that super-necro LLN sound live"

That Volahn live album was a lo-fi step to far for me though. Heard a bunch of other BTC that's pretty great though (all downloaded from blogs...gettng hold of this stuff, even if you send them money, seems to be tricky)

hey guys would you be interested in a google group where we can post links/blogs n stuff since we cant do it here? You can set it to just get a daily digest if you don't want too many emails

webmail me your email if you don't want to post it here

roxy i added you. its a general metal thing so anything goes (gonna be lots of 2011 Rolling Doom/Stoner/Sludge/Drone/Psych/Space Metal Thread stuff on it too so y'know send all you like
