Darkspace II but not III? III is mind-melting.

Been listening to With Fear I Kiss The Burning Darkness a lot lately. Awesome. Slowly dawning on me that I prefer Death Metal to Black.
^^^ real motherfucking talk

I want to start listening to some more metal.
Can any of you tell me what the best metal magazines and blogs/websites are?

www.metalsucks.net is pretty good and funny. blabbermouth nowadays is full of too much rubbish and the comments section is nearing youtube levels sometimes.

I'm a fan of Metal Inquisition myself. As for magazines, Terrorizer is a good all-round read. They get most of the popular genres covered and have a good balance between the trad and the hip. They sometimes do nice genre specials, the punk one they did some years ago was really good.

I'm going to check out all of those pubs. Thanks, guys.

you can order the black metal special direct from http://www.terrorizer.com/blackmetal I think
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 24 August 2009 17:46 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah if I don't find it in the next week or so, I think I'll end up going that route.

Borders is your best bet.

I would have thought that Aquarius was my best bet, but when I called earlier last week the guy on the phone was like "WTF are you talking about? I've never even heard of that."

Actually he was very polite and said that he was sure they would try to stock it since they stock Terrorizer.

As far as internet metal goes, this is of course the grandaddy

90% sure that my work isn't letting me get to that site.

This is the metal mag I subscribe to (and very infrequently write for):

it really does exist???
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 24 August 2009 21:48 (fourteen years ago) link
Belatedly working through this helpful list. I'm curious, what would you add to/subtract from it now, Siegbran?
― pomenitul, Wednesday, 14 June 2017 20:07 (six years ago) link
Great, I'm happy that this is helping people. Wouldn't really subtract anything, I'd say it's still a pretty good list of the canonical stuff until 1999/2000. Maybe I'd pick another Voivod record but the first few are all great. I'd probably add Gorguts <i>The Erosion Of Sanity</i>.
For more recent stuff, this was my ballot for the 2000-2015 metal poll: https://ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?showall=true&bookmarkedmessageid=6056022&boardid=41&threadid=104546
