2011 Rolling Black Metal thread

Does anybody know if he ever listened to Six Finger Satellite?

didn't see the original exchange but everyone needs to listen to 6FS no questions asked

why?

what do you mean?

(whoops about derail)

he said no questions asked

oh lol

AG: I don't know if Gnaw Their Tongues are releasing new material this year or not but Mories has a BM group called De Magia Veterum who have a new album coming out called The Divine Anthithesis and it is mad caustic and has overtones of Celeste, Abruptum and Omega Deathspell. It gave me a really bad headache the first time I listened to it but I really like it now.

Ahhh ok, will need to check that out

Roxy do you know this Ukrainian 1-man depressive BM band?

If you like atmospheric BM then dig in!

Listening to Raventale right now and it definitely has a doom feel despite being BM. Apparently the 1st album is basically Drudkh worship but i couldn't find that album. Im listening to the 2nd one just now and enjoying it. I think if you dig Drudkh or Austrasian Goat you will stand a good chance of liking them.

Roxy i bet you know of these guys. Come be all troo kvlt about it!

Ash Borer

Ha, asking for trouble with a name like that.

why? What does it mean?

apart from being an insect

They Bored my Ash off, etc.

hmmm

Just ordered the other 2 book of sand cdrs, got a free instant download with one. It was a bit different to the Paradigms release, bit more straightforward atmospheric bm.

The new ep seems to be covers of folk songs. Wonder if the dude is a smolken disciple. He's from j justen country it seems, wonder if you deal with him john?

You can listen to it here http://bookofsand.bandcamp.com/album/the-bees-and-the-butterflies

this might not be the thread for it, but i love that new liturgy track ("generation")

its the perfect thread for it. wish i could hear the whole thing, and new Krallice too.

liturgy is #1 metal album of the year, to date

like... seriously fucking over the top amazing

The 1st Book Of Sand CDr I really liked, but, from what I've heard, not enjoying the less BMness of the others. Is the Ash Borer thing the tape? Waiting for the vinyl of that.

you dont like the paradigms book of sand cd? I think that's the best one.

and more on the alcest re-release

Release date: 20.05.2011

"Le Secret" is not a new album by Alcest, but the debut EP from the incomparable project from France. It was originally released back in 2005 in an edition of just 1,000 copies which sold out before the release of "Souvenirs d'un Autre Monde" (2007), thus becoming a sought-after collector's item.

To Alcest themselves, however, it isn't this fact that constitutes the importance of "Le Secret." It's the music of the release which laid the groundwork for all future Alcest compositions with its epic tracks alternating between euphoric and nostalgic moods. Conceptionally, this EP sets out the framework that is essential for all other works of Alcest: music and lyrics are used here by Neige as a medium to channel and communicate the esoteric experiences of his early childhood.

"Le Secret" isn't just re-released in its original form, though. Instead, Neige has realised his dream of many years to re-record these tracks which are so meaningful to him personally and so fundamental to Alcest and to adjust them to his matured demands. Still, the original recordings from 2005 are an equal part of this re-release.

Today I am checking out
Ved Buens Ende (liked)
Fleurety - 1st album (liking so far)
In The Woods keeping them for last but i expect to really like.

Roxy or anyone, got any opinions on these bands or anything similar I need to hear? old or new.

I really like the re-recordings of Le Secret...as charming as the original tracks are, the new versions are a lot richer sounding, more depth.

he re-recorded the whole album?

Well, the album as in both 13 minute tracks. But the originals are also on the new reissue, which is a smart move.

i already said that!

Today i picked up 2nd hand cds of Aluk Todolo, Saros and my fen split cd arrived.

there are three bm threads on sna atm

it must be getting hip!

AG, what 2011 bm records would you recommend?

liturgy is on wfmu tonight, dj rupture's show

haven't you bothered reading the thread? lol
xp

nah, i haven't been around! but i will

Hey AG,

1. Who sounds like Absurd?
2. Who is the Creedence Clearwater of black metal?

fuck knows. Direct all BM questions to Roxy!

okay i am going to listen to this fen record

new Liturgy track + whiney interview at the VV

oh look what i have to listen to

Liturgy's "Generations" sounds a lot like Circle.

^^ true. didn't enjoyed it that much tho, but still looking fwd for the album.

haven't listened to that much bm this year. so far, these are the ones i enjoyed most :

mamaleek - kurdaitcha
arts - vault of heaven (side project from one of the ancestors guys)

haven't listened to blut aus nord's latest. and have to listen negative plane more carefully.

Liturgy album is great!

I don't think sounding like Circle is a bad thing at all, but it's not a particularly black metal thing. Of course the album is on Thrill Jockey which is more likely to release an album by Circle than it would by most metal acts.
