I searched around a lot today for a Black Metal band that I hadn't heard of, that might rock my world a bit. I finally found one that was at least new to me, Pestilential Shadows. I thought they sound nice and grindy and they seem to vary the tempo a lot.

Here's some other bands I have been quite enjoying:

Krypt, Wedard, Pest, Nae'blis, Jormunganor, Instanz, Skuggeheim, Blodarv, Dusk, Blodsrit, Craft, Managarm, Lifelover, Zarathustra, Nocturnal Depression, Endless Dismal Moan, Stielas Storhett, A Raven's Forest, Exiled From Light, Sorgeldom, Ritus, Celestial Bloodshed, Feigur, Forgotten Tomb, Ritual, Dodsferd, Wrath, Thy Light, Armagedda, Woods of Infinity, Mortiferia, Thy Serpent, Fornicatus, Vrolok, Volkurah, Erhangen, Nosvrolok, Raison D'Etre, Stillhet, Strid, Striborg, Sterbend, Elite, Brocken Moon, Todeskult, Faulen, Chapel of Ghouls, Judas Iscariot, Bytting, Odal, Amestigon, Slaktare, Aetherius Obscuritas, Hellveto, Moloch, Negator, Verdunkeln, Lustre, Isengard

Ok, maybe should save some for next time. I know, most of it's old, but it's still pretty much what I like. Of course, it always helps me pay better attention if there's a really long haired babe in the mix.

Favorite maybe not quite Black Metal Band: MORBID!!

Maybe my favorite Black Metal song: Black Metal Storm

Question: Who are the best female Black Metal artists?
Some guesses: Is it Aghast, DodsAngel, Turdus Merula, Runhild Gammelsæter, Lloth, Sigh, Dana Duffy, İlkim Oulanem, or, Janaza? (I know I missed several. Any others to suggest?)

Non Metal statement: CHRISTIAN BALE won his Oscar, today! Yessssss!!

Cheers...

yeah, i still say sargeist is one of the best bm bands of the past decade

[QUOTE=rasputin;18421650]i like how layered it is, the sound is great, but clean singing? [B]they've gone more towards what austere had going[/B], but also with the 'prettiness' that you get with some poo like alcest[/QUOTE]

I think they actually said they were going in that direction before the album had a release date. Kind of off-putting for me as I thought the second Austere full length was nothing special. Still waiting for my copy of new Woods... to arrive.

Embrace After Death

Ha ha, uhm, eeew, hee. Great sounding band, though...

[QUOTE=Nepenthe;18422005]dudes into terzij de horde? they do the screamo influenced black metal thing really well.

i mean like really really well[/QUOTE]

waaa?

yeah they were. when i bought some shit from D. a few months ago i asked about the record (the s/t track had already been out) and he said that they were trying to get that sound going on Sorh but something fucked up with the master copy so they had to just go with what they had. worked really well in my opinion, i like that a lot better than what they've done now, but yeah

[QUOTE=ablazeinmynorthernhi;18422849]Ha ha, uhm, eeew, hee.[/QUOTE]

what in the blazes

Honestly Berkay and Garg, Austere's last album was perfect, imo. And this new Woods... is really fucking good too.

But I'm an emofag, so I listen for different aspects.

I really like the production on the new Woods of Desolation.

Garg Vikernes

Binging hard on Torn Beyond Reason.

I didn't mind the second Austere, but I've always thought Austere were far inferior to Woods of Desolation. the new WoD is good but like I said before, it's way too similar to what every 'depressive' black metal band is trying to do these days. toward the depths and sorh are so much better.

Disagree and shit.

What can I say? I think I was half asleep when I wrote that.

are you one of those girls that stays up until past 3 am and does totally random things with friends

[QUOTE=Destroy All Girls;18423093]are you one of those girls that stays up until past 3 am and does totally random things with friends[/QUOTE]

Well, I guess that would depend on the friend. I suppose, I do tend to be kind of random at times, I have to admit.

I miss high school :(

guys obv the best depressive bm band is Voqkrre.

listening to strid
not really enthralling but im not a depr. bm fan

obv best dbm band is Father

When you gonna make more Father tracks, Mappy?

Edit
oh shit that's the fucking grimdark ll...e screams i know who that fucker is

my checking out angelcorpse has been welllll overdue

Best DSBM band is Make a Change... Kill Yourself for me. [i]II[/i] is just utterly strength-draining. Lyrinx's [i]Nihilistic Purity[/i] is also pretty devastating.

I don't really consider Woods of Desolation DSBM. It's a whole different vibe. Melancholic rather than depressing.

[QUOTE=Stevie;18423403]my checking out angelcorpse has been welllll overdue[/QUOTE]

Which album? Exterminate is a masterpiece.

like mine

The Inexorable is pretty solid

Yeah, those are the two I have. Filthy band.

[QUOTE=Morumbar;18423390]When you gonna make more Father tracks, Mappy?[/QUOTE]
whenever the other dude is motivated

just hammer of gods so far dloaded hammer of gods and exterminate im gunna get inexorable tomorrow

[QUOTE=witchxrapist;18422850]waaa?

okay this is really good

getting new woods of desolation now

edit: oh my god this is good[/QUOTE]

yeh idon't lie

indeed

listened to just fuck off earlier today was rad

yeah, good album

im still really liking that vacuus demo - don't give a shit how skeptical count is

Blasting [I]Like a Blaze Above Ashes[/I] rightnow. It's grown to be one of my favorites in the whole genre.

That band is pretty much flawless.

That album is good but the other Forest material I've heard hasn't been up to par with it.

[QUOTE=Angmar;18424041]That album is good but the other Forest material I've heard hasn't been up to par with it.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I agree.

so new woods of desolation is worth a listen?
