while on the subject of Drudkh offshoots anyone like Astrofaes?

[QUOTE=Apocalypticon;15720206]while on the subject of Drudkh offshoots anyone like Astrofaes?[/QUOTE]

I like them a lot, last 2 albums have ruled. It's like good Hate Forest I guess, and Thurios is a great vocalist.

Yeah Those Whose Past Is Immortal was très good

I've only heard Dying Emotions Domain and it's a good album. Not really that similar to Hate Forest, though.

Newer stuff is a bit rawer I guess, more fast paced, but still has some elements of their old stuff.

yeah definitely more fast paced. like Jammie I don't think Astrofaes and Hate Forest are really that similar. meh Thurios is a rad bro either way

Yeah, it seems like any time Thurios takes over the writing process things always turn out better, i.e. Drudkh and Astrofaes.

man I haven't ranted about how amazing Drudkh are in awhile. I also haven't listened to Drudkh in awhile.

Heh, I listen to "Furrow of Gods" like every day now, pretty much the best Drudkh song ever. Although Autumn Aurora is my favorite album by them.

OMG NO! False Dawn will always be best.

False Dawn is amazing, easily the best song on Forgotten Legends, but still, Furrow of Gods has all of those amazing changing sections and that solo!

agreed solo is amazing, but false dawn will always be best in my book. 15 minutes of orgasm essentially

ROFL I saw the "Black Metal X-Mas" Revolver today and read a bit of the interview.

Shagrath and Nergal seemed very into themselves but I really like Dani's personality.

I can't believe none of them mentioned Wolves In The Throne Room or Rotting Christ when asked if they thought black metal was dying out, and oh yeah, LOL @ Shagrath saying that Darkthrone is still serious.

BTW does anyone like Trollech?

Yea, for as much as people hate CoF, Dani is a very smart, hilarious guy who knows his ****.


Nergal is a self-involved bastard.

And a damn good lyricist.

But I'm a big CoF fan, probably the only one on here. :lol:

lol

good lyricist?

Hate Forest is actually pretty good. It's repetitive as hell yes, but the style is pretty unique due to the super low sound that is applied to the vocals and instruments.

[quote]Cradle Of Filth - Thirteen Autumns And A Widow:

Spawned wanton like blight on an auspicious night
Her eyes betrayed spells of the moon's eerie light
A disquieting gaze forever ghosting far seas
Bled white and dead, Her true mother was fed
To the ravenous wolves that the elements led
From crag-jagged mountains that seemingly grew in unease

Through the maw of the woods, a black carriage was drawn
Flanked by barbed lightning that hissed of the storm
(Gilded in crests of Carpathian breed)
Bringing slaves to the sodomite for the new-born
On that eve when the Countess' own came deformed
A tragedy crept to the name Bathory

Elizabeth christened, no paler a rose
Grew so dark as this sylph
None more cold in repose
Yet Her beauty spun webs
Round hearts a glance would betroth

She feared the light
So when She fell like a sinner to vice
Under austere, puritanical rule
She sacrificed...
Mandragora like virgins to rats in the wall
But after whipangels licked prisoners, thralled
Never were Her dreams so maniacally cruel
(And possessed of such delights)
For ravens winged Her nightly flights
Of erotica
Half spurned from the pulpit
Torments to occur
Half learnt from the cabal of demons
In Her
Her walk went to voodoo
To see Her own shadow adored
At mass without flaw
Though inwards She abhored
Not Her coven of suitors
But the stare of their Lord

"I must avert mine eyes to hymns
For His gaze brings dogmas to my skin
He knows that I dreamt of carnal rites
With Him undead for three long nights"

Elizabeth listened
No sermons intoned
Dragged such guilt to Her door
Tombed Her soul with such stone
For She swore the Priest sighed
When She knelt down to atone...

She feared the light
So when She fell
Like a sinner to vice
Under austere, puritanical rule
She sacrificed
Her decorum as chaste
To this wolf of the cloth
Pouncing to haunt
Her confessional box
Forgiveness would come
When Her sins were washed off
By rebaptism in white....

The looking glass cast Belladonna wreaths
'Pon the grave of Her innocence
Her hidden face spat murder
From a whisper to a scream
All sleep seemed cursed
In Faustian verse
But there in orgiastic Hell
No horrors were worse
Than the mirrored revelation
The She kissed the Devil's phallus
By Her own decree...

So with windows flung wide to the menstrual sky
Solstice Eve She fled the castle in secret
A daughter of the storm, astride Her favourite nightmare
On winds without prayer
Stigmata still wept between Her legs
A cold bloodedness which impressed new hatreds
She sought the Sorceress
Through the snow and dank woods to the sodomite's lair

Nine twisted fates threw hewn bone die
For the throat of Elizabeth
Damnation won and urged the moon
In soliloquy to gleam
Twixt the trees in shafts
To ghost a path
Past the howl of buggered nymphs
In the sodomite's grasp
To the forest's vulva
Where the witch scholared Her
In even darker themes

"Amongst philtres and melissas
Midst the grease of strangled men
And eldritch truths, elder ill-omen
Elizabeth came to life again"

And under lacerations of dawn She returned
Like a flame unto a deathshead
With a promise to burn
Secrets brooded as She rode
Through mist and marsh to where they showed
Her castle walls wherein the restless
Counted carrion crows

She awoke from a fable to mourning
Church bells wringing Her madly from sleep
Tolled by a priest, self castrated and hung
Like a crimson bat 'neath the belfry
The biblical prattled their mantras
Hexes six-tripled their fees
But Elizabeth laughed, thirteen Autumns had passed
And She was a widow from god and His wrath, finally...[/quote]

No, I'm a pretty big CoF fan too, though [I]Thornography[/I] was horrible vocally.

However, we should quit this before we get flamed for talking about CoF in the BM thread.

No. @ Trollech.

It's not like WITTR or RC are the saviors of today's black metal scene though.

They help keep it alive in the eyes of mainstream magazines and reviewers though, thus attracting new fans to the genre. At least, that's how I see them helping.

But they're among the best of modern black metal, so they deserve to be mentioned.

very true.
@Valhall

I don't know about them being "the best" though. I don't really like either of them that much. Then again I don't know any bands that are still going that are better than them sadly. Darkthrone probably.

Uh, WITTR and RC are far from "the best" or even important to the scene. They're just two bands that get worshipped by people not very into black metal.

It's not like Shagrath and Nergal have room to speak though anyway.

**** off WITTRH and all ****** stuffs

Yeah WITTR are crappy.


NP: Franz Liszt - Piano Concerto No. 1

Rundgang is clearly the best Burzum song ever.
