Truth. That's why I'm in the reviews sit :p

The review site is only good for trolling these days tbqh.

and posting reviews tbqh.

I was kidding :p

But yea

the whole site has been lame for at least a year

new Blut Aus Nord on the 22nd.

"This album is a departure from the style introduced on MoRT in favor of a sound
similar to TWWTG combined with some elements of Vindsval's earlier work. "

I wasn't all that into TTWTG... but anyway, that and the debut are the only ones I've heard and I haven't listened to the band in looong while.

I love Ultima Thulee but have been very unmotivated on checking any of their other albums out. Should I?

I decided to check Angantyr out before. I got their debut album, and it wasn't boring like everyone was making it out to be.

It wasn't amazing, but a decent release. Are the other full lengths better?

i only have kampen forsaetter from Angantyr, but it's a darn good release. Some of the riffs in there are reminiscent to Darkthrone

I only have Mort, and was severely dissappointed (it was a blind buy). I'm not an ambient person.

I'm officially calling the BM genre dead.

R.I.P.

Why?

I've come to the conclusion that's there's absolutely no room for innovation or bettering what's already there. I'm up to be challenged but don't see anything pulling through.

That's how so much metal is getting.

The biggest recent innovation to death metal was adding dancing breakdowns wooo.

The only breath of fresh air is new Darkthrone but I don't see that style doing anything but being imitated and **** on.

Hey, you're the JFAC and BMTH fan, not us!

I was making the point that there's not much real innovation going on anywhere in metal.

I'm going to take that as a joke.

How about everyone stops bitching about black metal being dead. If you really think that, how about you take the initiatve and stop thinking all ****ing good black metal is going to be found using your nifty little computer and find other sources.

Idiots.

Why all the hatred?

Honestly though, name a better way to find it than the internet. There isn't one.

@Austin: you should buy some zines. I will get one next time I order.

Some of them come with samplers aswell, which is always nice.

Cassettes

They still used their computers to find the cassettes. They used the internet to read descriptions and to order them.

[QUOTE=pate;15409114]Cassettes[/QUOTE]

And where do you find those cassettes?

Internet!

Wasn't to you, really. :)

Jammie: Yeah I was planning on ordering some. I dunno though, I might just to see what the Canadian scene has harvesting.

And what Lee said is totally right, whether he is serious or not.

Yeah, I like looking through bands from my area/country.

And I write letters to order my cassettes FYI.

Not

Well you're missing out.

My computer doesn't have a cassette input.

Rotting Christ's latest album is pretty innovative. They create a good atmosphere without tons of kvlt reverb and necro static like most black metal. They use melody in their riffs along with melodic ambiance, and also use alot of Gregorian chanting, non-cliche incorporation of clean singing and etc to help build the atmosphere too.

It's also not just riff after riff after riff, there are alot of bridges that also help the development of the songs.

It's too bad most black metallers see them as sellouts now though, their music is quite good, even if it's not traditional black metal.

oh and @ eleventeen, Nile is pretty innovative, even if most people on this site hate them.

Does anyone like Weakling? I am downloading their full length and hoping it doesn't suck.

[QUOTE=Angmar;15409303]Does anyone like Weakling? I am downloading their full length and hoping it doesn't suck.[/QUOTE]

Weakling is pretty okay. They set the structure for WITTR, but the vocals are horrible and the songs are way too long.

It's worth hearing though.

Rotting Christ is incredibly boring.

Yeah I noticed it was really long, oh well I'll listen later.

Rotting Christ is pretty bad.

[QUOTE=Ghoul Hunter;15409313]Rotting Christ is incredibly boring.[/QUOTE]

I thought they were too for a while, I didn't touch their latest album after the first couple times I listened to it for a while. I've been listening to it more now and I like it alot though.

Hey Josh have you listened to the newest Wolves in the Throne Room album?

I realize that I'm not Josh, but I was disappointed by it.
