2011 Rolling Black Metal thread

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?

I haven't heard it, didn't know there was a google group tbh!

need your email addy then

does your ilxmail work? i can send it there

yeah go for it

sent, thanks!

done, you get it?

You're in

my old friend jon has a black metal band called obsequiae they are on bindrune records

here is an interview with them and you can listen to songs, it's been getting good reviews. i'm no black metal guy but i think this is impressive

http://www.invisibleoranges.com/2011/09/interview-obsequiae/

today ive been revisiting this piece of vinyl

had an ep by Prosanctus Inferi sent to me in an email. i reckon roxy will dig this. Anyone familiar with them?

i'd go as far to say that siegbran and mr aerosmith might dig it

its more a mini lp apparently. 7 short songs anyway and available on lp from NWN

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

reminded me of bone awl a lot

thats the obly one i own, i should pick up more, except im skint

It probably reminds you of Bone Awl because dude is in Bone Awl

that might explain it then

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

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.

Ave Maria – Chapter I

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.

Without a doubt, this is one of the best works of Raventale

Not a lot of doubting going on.

Anyway along those lines, have you heard this years Lunar Aurora?

i havent. Good?

That Lunar Aurora sounded really good on first listen, but I still need to spend a little more time with it.

Should be right up yr alley AG.
