2011 Rolling Black Metal thread

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

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

Listening to this now and it's damn weird and experimental

Neige Morte are an obscure entity from Lyon, France, creating an icy and oppressive hypothermic musical blast. Ponderous and bizarre passages of atmospheric sound crack and give way plunging the listener into frozen riffs as they are carried off by the post-Black Metal current tearing through the heart of Neige Morte.
The cruel and nihilistic aesthetic chimes with much of the output of the French underground scene as does the experimental edge found in the five tracks served on this debut platter. Difficult to categorize neatly, Neige Morte are merely interested in engulfing the listener in the slow embrace of frozen death.
Tracklisting:
01 - Reflexe Post- Mortem 10:49
02 - Tout Sonne Faux 6:53
03 - Need Some Air 2:24
04 - Fausse Victime Vrai Bourreaux 6:33
05 - Bourbier 5:03

RunningTime: 31:40

Roxy seems to dig it iirc

Keep getting them mixed up with that BM band that sing about fairies.

Are Fleurety any good/worth checking out?

just purchased
http://www.auralwebstore.com/store/img/p/452-344-large.jpg with the last of the money i got from my birthday a while ago. Couldn't find it in the UK, with shipping it came to £21 :(

This looks fantastic but I would not pay £40 for a cd

Received the Raspberry Bulbs LP today from Hospital - outstanding!

oh yeah dj mencap mentioned that upthread, dunno anything about them. Wassit like?

Listening to the new Blut aus Nord now. Not bad. Some parts sound like Scorn. I think as weird French BM goes, I prefer Spektr, though.

Not heard Spektr, which of theirs should I start with?

Near Death Experience.

ok cheers, will d/l it and let you know

oh yeah dj mencap mentioned that upthread, dunno anything about them. Wassit like?

It's one of the dudes from BONE AWL (the drummr iirc?), and not too far off in terms of atmosphere, but definitely more of a punk / crust / oi kinda vibe. More melodic, if I dare use that word. Very, very cool. I think there are some Youtube clips...

not a fan of oi but i do like bone awl so i might give it a listen if i can find it

just put Spektr on and I love that drum sound

Nuclear War Now is doing a 2LP or 2CD reissue of everything Conqueror did. If you want to hear the missing link between Blasphemy and Revenge. The bands, not the concepts.

you dislike the concepts?

Well, I'm pro blasphemy, sure. Revenge is kind of pointless, most of the time. But I love both the bands and am always pro-angry Canadians.

I mean, blasphemy's pointless, too. But you get some good albums out of it.

Ulver album has leaked!

!

Another bad goth album?

if jon joins our googlegroup he can hear it, so can you Siegbran

Another bad goth album?

Wrote a review of it today for The Wire. It's not bad at all. In fact, it's quite good. Definitely in a Michael-Gira-collaborating-with-Coil vein, but I don't have a problem with that.

I have gradually come to the realization that I totally respect Ulver, I just am not much into what they do these days.

fair enough, I am though!

Ulver's last.fm shoutbox is full of people complaining it's not black metal. After all this time wtf did they expect?
