TheSpirit: black metal: the beautiful and the abrasive

TheSpirit 07.17.16	i got bored, but yeah, you get the gist.
Flugmorph 07.17.16	sup
TheSpirit 07.17.16	sup bro
rufinthefury 07.17.16	needs more Enslaved and Gris. but good list mate
Flugmorph 07.17.16	needs more paysage
TheSpirit 07.17.16	List needs a lot tbh
adr 07.17.16	that new Batushka album can fit with the beautiful, great album
brainmelter 07.17.16	nice beauts
Atari 07.17.16	Yeah, the mixture of the sweet n sour is what draws me to a lot of bm as well. Cool list, have a feat
Atari 07.17.16	List is alphabetical but u stopped at L, u should add some more!
Mort. 07.17.16	bruh i swear youve probably forgotten about more metal bands than most people know
MoosechriS 07.17.16	Solid list as always dude, reminded me that i didn't have that arts tape too. Discogs for me i think
TheSpirit 07.17.16	Going to add more soon, probably later tonight. Mort, sometimes it actually drives me crazy how many good - great bands I've forgotten. Thankfully they are all mostly catalogued on last.fm so I often go through my scrobbles to see what I've forgotten. Chris, you are a boss.
InFlamesWeThrash666 07.17.16	Nice to see 2 here
thetruedemonlord 07.17.16	Hmm.
TheSpirit 07.17.16	Indeed
R6Rider 07.18.16	only checked 19 but it's pretty cool sounds like a more abstract kvelertak
TheSpirit 07.18.16	I actually meant to put their self-titled which is more like a cross of converge and deathspell
R6Rider 07.18.16	Yeah now that I've listened to half of the album those bands came to mind as well.
Hawks 07.18.16	Sweet list bro. I gotta jam 16.
zaruyache 07.18.16	glad to see Addaura getting some bumps.
TheSpirit 07.18.16	fuck yeah guys m/ m/ m/ also....added quite a few more
Hawks 07.18.16	Props for 36 bro, love that album it doesn't get enough love.
iloveyouall 07.18.16	some nice, some not so nice. black metal in a nutshell. good list.
YakNips 07.18.16	great list obviously but yea needs more paysage
TheSpirit 07.18.16	Don't be one of those guys But thanks bruv ❤️
ZippaThaRippa 07.18.16	This list is full of stuff I haven't heard of, gold mine. Any blackened hardcore in the mix?
osmark86 07.18.16	Well damn, I've only heard 4 albums on this list. Will check some of this out for sure. Good effort spirit.
TheSpirit 07.18.16	Thanks guys. Zip, check out Haapoja. Some of the other groups are blackened punk for sure, but I often mind there's a notable difference between blackened punx and blackened hxc, so I think Haapoja would probably be closer to what you're looking for.
Rastapunk 07.19.16	I do love when they're both. I rev'ed some BM bands that do both (Celtefog, DOwnfall Of Nur, Enisum...)
TheSpirit 07.19.16	Yes, I enjoy when it does more as well, but sometimes when I'm the mood for extremes I'll jam some of these
AsleepInTheBack 07.19.16	Didn't realise quite how vast the genre was, i know none of these haha. Look forward to trying a few out though, any on here that anyone particularly rec for a novice of the genre?
TheSpirit 07.19.16	Try Thorngoth out first. They adhere to the basic black metal aesthetic, but really exceed melodically.
Thealwaysopenedmind 07.19.16	Thanks. I saved this as a bookmark for later!
AsleepInTheBack 07.19.16	Cheers Spirit, will give them a go
TheSpirit 07.19.16	glad you guys (hopefully) got something out of this
owen 07.21.16	murmuure yoga
MoosechriS 07.21.16	That new El-Ahrairah is amazing dude, managed to get myself one of the last tapes available too which is an added bonus.
TheSpirit 07.22.16	Ahhhh yes I'm glad you dug it dude
Egarran 07.23.16	Thanks for list, I appreciate these categories. Personally I need fewer and better albums on it. (The start of that Agatus album sounds like a joke. Then it gets a bit better.)
TheSpirit 07.23.16	Agatus is great, give it time.
Egarran 07.23.16	You generally demonstrate more patience than me.
Maco097 07.23.16	Finally a good BM list.
Egarran 07.23.16	I like that Botanist album. Haven't quite heard anything like that before.
TheSpirit 07.23.16	Yeah they are pretty unique. I like that album a lot.
TheSpirit 07.26.16	:*
dbizzles 07.26.16	Fuck yeah, more bm. Thanks. 'I like that Botanist album. Haven't quite heard anything like that before.' Check the new(ish) EP. It's awesome.
Egarran 07.26.16	Thanks, sounds good. Was looking for them in vain on metal-archives: "Regarding Botanist, there were multiple moderators involved in that decision and the consensus was that the most metal thing about it was the black metal vocals, not so much the instrumentation (may it be programmed or not). Hell, Morrigan (co-owner of the site) blacklisted them personally after listening, so unless they have something new and radically different out, this decision is unlikely to get overturned." Weirdos.
TheSpirit 07.26.16	the metal-archives mods are fucking turdburgers tbh
dbizzles 07.26.16	Yeah, that's one of the dumbest things I've read in a while.
Egarran 07.26.16	This nugget: "A number of us mods agreed that it lacks metal riffs, particularly in relation to guitars... which is a defining characteristic of the bands we consider metal enough. In other words, it ends up simply being black metal shrieks on top of experimental nonsense."
dbizzles 07.26.16	Okay. I know some of the way older stuff is pretty fucking non-traditional, but the roots are pretty clear to me. They should listen to Flame of the Forest and try again.
iloveyouall 08.05.16	wow dude so kvlt
TheSpirit 08.05.16	much kvlt so gr1m

DungeonBoy 08.05.16	I'm a more beautiful fan [2]
zaruyache 08.06.16	or it's part of a meme you apparently don't get
