BLACK METAL

[Hakaristi]

CRIMSON EVENFALL cd, all demo material finally collected of this pre-Musta Surma. 74 mins of Finnish cold BM! Sound has vastly more punch than the old tapes. Mastered from original DAT masters!

This is absolutely brilliant.

Have to add to the praise here. Always wished there was more Musta Surma material available, so this hit the spot perfectly.

Most played stuff recently has been reissues, particularly Breath of Pestilence's ones from the Kotka scene - Vornat, Pervogoat, Insane Apollyon... also Aske, Helwetti, Noenum and Kyprian's Circle. Hoping for Ymir reissue next!

[FreakAnimalFinland]

I doubt YMIR will happen, but can't say for sure.

I got all Helwetti demo master tapes waiting to be collected as CD comp.
Maybe around same time as LP version of self titled comes.

I uploaded a bonus track from the forthcoming Blodhævn compilation LP on Glowing Talon to the Brutalist Bandcamp. The LP will include the two first demos and be limited to 100 copies.

Picked up both CDs from Gauntlet Ring, wasn't dissapointed. Highly recommend getting these before they're gone like the LPs were.

Recently bought Luror's "The Iron Hand of Blackest Terror" CD. This album has to be one of the most overlooked ones when it comes to 2000's black metal. Complex, haunting, at times near strangling depressive. "Cease to Live" is good too, but this one is in it's own heights, or depths.

finally heard the new Negative Plane record in full, some real banger riffs, need to listen a few more times but probably wait til my actual copy of the LP shows up.

really interested in what this band has in store nowadays, i haven't check them out ever since their fantastic 2011 release.

I recommend to give a listen to the new Antediluvian album "The Divine Punishment", great black/death metal, a masterpiece of weird evilness and putrid atmosphere with some very spooky parts.

[AdamLehrerImageMaker]

I agree. I was obsessed with this record for months after it came out last year. Although I have no qualms with genre adherence, I'd wager that it's safe to say there isn't a whole lot of evolution of form going on in either extreme or experimental music (or really any music for that matter, or really any art form for christ's sakes) that doesn't veer into really corny territory, "post metal" or metal bands who claim to be doing something different but really sound like screamo bands. Antedilubian, however, is the real deal. There's something genuinely new and exciting in this sound, a real modernist streak. Heady without being overly intellectualized. Frightening without gay Tim Burton theatrics. Very good.

Not sure if anyone has brought up this record from 2021 yet, but Sulper's Embracing Hatred and Beckoning Darkness puts a lot of newer black metal to shame.

Split with Wolfnacht / Goatmoon / Thy Serpent. I would be curious to know the genesis of this, Thy Serpent involvment comes as a surprise but the final outcome is solid and pretty enjoyable.
Woflnacht's songs are really good, specially the first one with those sci-fi synth, Goatmoon delivers a couple of really melodic compositions (Bestial Ophera almost has a some Cradle of Filthiesque moments) and Thy Serpent add a long, slow paced symphonic piece.

This split and last year's Hamergilde "Wiking" have been my black metal jams lately. The Wolfnacht songs on that 3 way split are incredible.

This, Bleau Blanc Satan, about the early French BM scene found its way into my feed. It's cool to see a documentary that's not about Norway and all the usual. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fu-jglTaTZ4&ab_channel=Documentals
