Live Black Twilight Circle chaos from Ashdautas

Finally listened to the new Liturgy. I did in fact like it; it's v exhilirating noise rock, and yet this comment by glenn kind of hit home:

I so want to love the Liturgy album. But every time that long silent gap in the middle comes up I find myself saying "Phew, that album's over. Oh, wait, no."

Haven't finished listening to the Krallice yet, so I will withhold comment, but I'm starting to wonder if bm is just not for me...

that being said, has anyone heard the new Ulver yet? is it any good?

I've heard all three. Krallice > Liturgy > Ulver (with the Ulver not being black metal at all).

I had one of those Eurovision/Mylene Farmer 'why on earth do people like this' moments while listening to the new Ulver

That said I am a huge Opeth fanboy so I may just be experiencing the narcissism of small differences

I wasn't expecting the Ulver to sound like BM, I just knew that they were BM at one time...

Like a generation ago now.

Wait, do they always sound like... any metal band's CD skipping?

Liturgy : black metal
Boredoms : Krautrock

that was kinda my impression of Renihilation anyway

been listening to Super Ae/SR7/VCN lately, and I really dig that analogy...

That either a huge compliment to Liturgy or a massive insult to the Boredoms (I'm in the latter camp myself.)

Well, they're both adopting the textures of the genre and putting it to this psychedelic trance purpose, is how I saw it. It's not really a moral judgment on whether the music is *good*

Liturgy have a looooong way to go to scrape a paint fleck off the Boredoms chrome, obv

Actually I would totally listen to Liturgy doing a cover of Acid Police

yeah that's how i took it.

Your knife doesn't even have to be that awesome

that is my favorite black metal release of 2011 so far

I really dig the green onions drum break

man, i really love this liturgy record. so epic. the math-y riffs up against the rubato blast beat stuff is a great juxtaposition.

i also how the 'generations' rhythm appears across the album as a theme.

New Peste Noir sounds awesome; really running with that sound they started to experiment with on Folkfuck Folie

so roxy - what new black metal do you recommend? you know, stuff that has just recently come out or is due to come out soon.

De-lurking to recommend "Dødssanger", the first album from Norwegian black metal "supergroup" Djevel (members from Kvelertak and Purified in Blood amongst others).

I'm no black metal expert, but the album feels fresh even though its roots are firmly planted in the genre. Listened to it twice on my way to work (yes, I have a long commute) and feel like giving it a third spin right now.

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

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

oooh!

check webmail

did! thanks!

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

that is a very appealing cover

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.

And this is also Glennmusic I think

If you dont like synths in BM its not for you

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

1992?

How about this cover?

Looking forward to playing this

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

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

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.

New Absu album is killer.

Anyone else heard the Absu yet?

been listening to too much of this liturgy album feel like i need to listen to some _REAL_ 2011 black metal, any recommendations?

Absu

or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaTVHzdH8oM

That Falloch album is so good.

yes it is. And the Absu is fucking great.

Man if only someone around here could tell us if the new Absu is any good or not...

if only.... you not heard it yet then? arent you in the ilx metal google group?
