[QUOTE=DBlitz;17854949]there was a big discussion on this, in the black metal thread and review site. some said they are black metal with a little bit of shoegaze influence, some said it the other way around and some people (review site) said it was dream-pop.

i think it was decided that they are shoegaze with some black metal-ish parts

also his older stuff (which i haven't heard yet) are apparently black metal[/QUOTE]

yeah i haven't heard anything by them (him) that has abbrasive vocals, tremolo riffs, blasting drums, satanic imagery, corpse paint, anything commonly associated with black metal.

although M-A says the early stuff was black metal, idk.

Is that as good as the absence of light?

You mean A Fragile Hope ?

Yes it's a good release, Like it's Your Last is one of the best songs they've written imo.

Heard good things about this, I'm not really into BM at all though. Still worth a listen ?

It's not really like most bm. You might like it.

It's all the rage right now.

Definitely, it's not really that BM-ish so you might enjoy it very much.
