[QUOTE=Stormrider;16084462]Do you remember which album you had Angmar? [/QUOTE]

Foredooming the Hope for Eternity, the riffs didn't strike me as anything special and I remember the drums sounded horrible.

Yeah, a lot of BBH does sound similar since it's comprised of the same few guys for every band. I remember Branikald, Forest and Ravendark being the best from that group, never got into their clean vocals though.

I didn't like Ravendark :-/

Like a Blaze Above the Ashes really the only Forest I've heard that I still listen to. Foredooming the Hope for Eternity has a real nice cover art, though.

Yeah it does haha, that's probably the only reason I chose it over the others. Since opinions/reviews were kinda limited.

It's not just that. Everything sounds the same to me. They're all exactly the same. The same group of people can make music that sounds different.

[i]Foredooming the Hope for Eternity[/i] is a funny title because 'fördom' means 'prejudice' in Swedish. And Forest is an NS band lol

But are they something I would like? I like raw, up to a point. It depends, idk it's weird

It's 'fördöma' and I would translate it as condemn. 'Fördom', on the other hand, is prejudice. 'Fördomar' in the plural.

My bad, thanks Björn

The humor still holds (a little)

It definitely does.

Well the most prominent of the BBH (Forest & Branikald) are basically the same - two solo projects by the same (now dead) guy. If you like BBH, that raw kind of atmospheric NSBM, have a look into Heidentum (Ger) as well. Absolute killer.

The only thing I have by Heidentum is Lughnasa (sp?) and it's pretty good.

Kaldrad does most of the stuff in Branikald I think, and is definitely a main member in Forest. He's still alive.

It's Ulv Gegner Irminsson I was thinking of, I looked it up and he was in Raven Dark, Wotansjolv, Velimor, Vargleide, Sternatis and Nitberg as well as Forest

I just gave Raven Dark another listen and they aren't bad. Some of the songs kinda drag on too long, though.

The Heidentum release is Iughnasa, yea its good. They only have two demos though, I'm pretty sure

The only black metal I've been listening to lately is Judas Iscariot and Azhubham Haani. In my opinion, black metal tries to hard to act satanic and it comes off as really corny.

Judas Iscariot is bad...

this.

the blitzkrieg version of "spill the blood of the lamb" is cool

You should listen to better bands.

I like Azhubham Haani, not Judas Iscariot. The main black metal I listen to these days is the stuff from the mid to late 80s which most people here would probably consider a bit more thrashy... i do listen to some more recent bands but generally they are emulating that era.

Alright, I'll look into them.

I always though Forest was mostly Kaldrad, though Ulv was in that band as well.

Azhubham Haani are pretty good, pretty cool use of clean guitar at times.

I've been listening to Kristallnact a lot lately.

Check out the Funeral demos then, they were better earlier in their 'career' (not to say they weren't good later). I remember having a heap of rehearsals/promos/bootlegs of theres , they're probably on some burnt cd somewhere

Already got'em. They were definitely better as Funeral. "Night And Fog" and "A Strife, A Victory" are ****ing awesome.

Kristallnacht is pretty much useless, "Of Elitism and War" had a decent track or two but anything else was just sub par.

[I]Of Elitism And War[/I] is pretty good, but I definitely like [I]The Funeral Years[/I] more.

[QUOTE=DERSIEGDERKRIEGDERKAMPF;16095202]"Of Elitism and War"[/QUOTE]

:lol: @ the title

What's so funny about the title?

that's like, the most generic black metal title possible by the humor of this board...

Whatev, I like it.

i've never heard it, it is a funny title though

almost as funny as "Sounds of Middle Earth"

**** you elitist faggot all you ever do is come in here and talk down on what everybody else likes SUMMONING OWNS YOUR SIEG HEIL **** JESUS BULLSHIT BECAUSE IT ACTUALY HAS HEART YOU HATEFUL WRETCH

'Elitismus und Krieg' has a nicer ring though, doesn't it?

I think it does.
