http://www.last.fm/music/Burzum
Burzum is the solo project of Varg Vikernes (born Kristian Larsson Vikernes, AKA Greven Grishnackh/Count Grishnackh, currently legally named Varg Qisling Larsson Vikernes). He is most famous for being a psychopathic murdering racist anti-Semite piece of shite , but who musically is a genius. No-one really ever talks about the music because he's a psychopathic murdering racist anti-Semite piece of shite.From the Depths of Darkness is re-recordings of Varg's favourite early Burzum tracks the way he wanted them to be, and isn't a cash grabbing exercise at all, no way.

I was meaning to get to that Hell album, would have done it in time for the poll had I known it wasn't just a reissue, but rather new recordings a la Pentagram. Anima Morte is cool spooky, proggy soundtrack music, but really didn't think it was that special.

didnt dig the hell that much but i also didnt know the story behind it.
no offense to the voters but i think that burzum album is pretty lame.
― blurgh (jjjusten), Thursday, 19 January 2012 17:06 (twelve years ago) link
lets not go down that route please. I don't want people being put off voting like they do in the other ILM poll (the anco debacle) because of reactions by posters.
Mordy you like Burzum anyway.
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 19 January 2012 17:07 (twelve years ago) link
it's a real sad story behind the Hell album but I'm glad it's working out for the remaining members. It's a really good album. Pagan Altar also do the re-recording of old tracks they never got the chance too and they have made 3 terrific albums from it so hopefully there's more to come from Hell.

This album grew on me after i got over the fact it wasn't a heavy album like I had hoped for. It's shoegaze.
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 19 January 2012 17:19 (twelve years ago) link

― Derartu Cthulhu (NickB), Thursday, 19 January 2012 17:24 (twelve years ago) link
The Old Silver Key album is weak in my opinion. Both sides could have done better, and nothing really meshes.
― A. Begrand, Thursday, 19 January 2012 17:24 (twelve years ago) link
Elder was my #1. The only explanation that it wasn't top 10 could only be that 16 people heard it. Right? My blurb:
Emphasizing a heavily distorted, doomy sound, they're the latest to merge aspects of doom with stoner rock's melodies and sticky riffs. They describe themselves as "a sonic interpretation of the forces that surround us; the pounding waves of ancient seas, the weight of stone colossi rising up from the earth and the endlessness of inflamed, majestic skies." Or alternately, "like Ufomammut fucking Black Sabbath sideways." However you want to describe it, Dead Roots Stirring is immediately addictive, and has stayed at the top of my playlist for months.

Elder was nice but wasn't a favorite. I do regret not voting for the Ufesas record though. It's owned my January so far.

i read a review of the band Alcest and so i'm listening to their new album now
it's supposed to be black metal, the review said shoegazer too, which i kinda get
overall though it feels a lot more like 90s bands like Hum or Chavez to me than metal, it's cool though, i don't know if they are trv kvlt though :|
it doesn't really seem like black metal at least to me, but i'm no expert

i agree w/you about the alcest album m@tt - altho the thing is that black metal has kinda porous boundries these days. still if you played the album for me w/o identifying it, i wouldnt hear any trad BM influence at all really.

overall though it feels a lot more like 90s bands like Hum or Chavez to me than metal
this is somewaht true though imo alcest are wayyyyy too tepid rhythmically to merit comparison to those kinds of bands.
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 19 January 2012 18:44 (twelve years ago) link
I guess I should have campaigned harder for Elder. I posted a YouTube link with the entire album on the Sandbox.
Regarding Alcest, Neige, Aegnor and Argoth had some demos that were black metal in 2001, but with the latter two left, it quickly became basically shoegaze, or metalgaze. I loved Souvenirs d'un autre monde (2007), but everything sort of sounds the same and I hadn't been inspired to hear the latest.

yeah i don't prefer it, a lot of the black metal stuff i've heard has p boring drum parts, it's almost like a skiffle type beat to me, or a johnny cash beat with shitloads of cymbal shit
but i'm digging this, the prettier and less metal this record is the better imo
