pyroflare77 11.30.25	Obscure LARPer I came across (very little chance they're Indian), seeing different names around. On here I added it as Gautam Buddha - Reincarnation Part 2. I'll just post the youtube video since the actual title is in Hindi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPn37vQk7Cc

arthropod 11.30.25	It just occurred to me that your plan involves listening to most likely pagan or satanic shit on Christmas.
Sevengill 12.01.25	oh damn, good stuff! Haxkapell - Eldhymner then.
Hawks 12.01.25	I may not have time on Christmas so it will most likely be the day after.

Hawks 12.01.25	Budg some people work for a living, we can't all lay in Smok's bedroom naked 24/7.
budgie 12.01.25	dpmt b a homofobe!!!
Hawks 12.01.25	I'm not, I'm simply stating!!! Now gimme another rec to add so I can get this filled up lmao.
arthropod 12.01.25	To lay, or to be laid, that is the question how about christian bm lmao
Hawks 12.01.25	Christian bm is fine!
Hawks 12.01.25	Actually, that would be perfect for Christmas day lol.
arthropod 12.01.25	That's splendid because I know nothing about it lol. I'd start with either Horde, Antestor, Crimson Moonlight or random obscure Polish shit pulled from the depths of the web.
Hawks 12.01.25	M/////EN
Donchivo 12.01.25	Blood Serpent - Bestial Extermination Bestial but still melodic Black/Death from 'Nam.
Donchivo 12.01.25	And Horde - Hellig Usvart is a great album, both, musically and as fun trolling of butthurt satanists
Hawks 12.01.25	NICE!!! Yeah, I heard it once many years ago, but don't remember it at all tbh.
Hawks 12.01.25	ONLY NEED 5 MORE, COME ON BROS.
necropig 12.01.25	Aorlhac - La cité des vents
Hawks 12.01.25	ADDED.

Hawks 12.01.25	Adding bro!
BitterJalapenoJr 12.01.25	Don't think there's a bm album I've heard that you haven't
Hawks 12.01.25	Its possible!! Some can always slip through the cracks lol.
Hawks 12.01.25	Man, starting to jam 1 on my break and it rules. Early Shining is definitely where its at. Good rec Budg!
Sevengill 12.01.25	yeah I was gonna say, I'm enjoying digging real deep for new recs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
Hawks 12.01.25	LMAO Rick Astley????
Sevengill 12.01.25	gottem
Hawks 12.01.25	Hahahahahaha come on!!!
budgie 12.01.25	unbelievable seven shame on U
AlkemestRedux 12.01.25	Gonna be a crazy solid month looks like!
Hawks 12.01.25	Both of you give me another rec NOW!
Sevengill 12.01.25	real talk, I found a modern classic you don't have rated. Vindland - Hanter Savet. it sits somewhere between Windir and Uada. riffs for days. for bonus content, I think I might be the only person who still spins Anfauglir - Hymns Over Anfauglith and Skogsande - Vintervindarnas tillhåll. Anfauglir is like if Summoning and Wintersun had a child out of wedlock. Skogsande is basically Paysage worship with emphasis on choirs and keys.
budgie 12.01.25	trist (ger) - hin-fort
Hawks 12.01.25	Annnnd looks like that will fill the list. Adding now!
Sevengill 12.01.25	HOLY SHIT, ANFAUGLIR FINALLY RELEASED A NEW ALBUM see y'all in a week
Hawks 12.01.25	M/////EN
Rowhaus 12.01.25	That trist album is incredible yeah
AlkemestRedux 12.01.25	Let's goooo! Blood Serpent looks good as heck.
Hawks 12.01.25	First day is down. Hype to hear the rest!
budgie 12.01.25	off to a strong start
Hawks 12.01.25	Hell yeah, good rec bro.
Sevengill 12.01.25	might give Shining a whirl. whats-his-fuck hasn't had a cringey public meltdown go viral in a few years.
Hawks 12.01.25	Give it a shot!!!
budgie 12.01.25	have you somehow never jammed shining dude
Hawks 12.01.25	I only listen to Morgan Wallen. Best country singer of all-time.
budgie 12.01.25	the fuck
Sevengill 12.01.25	prolly because this news article was the first time I really heard of them and I was like pfft nvm, I'll just go spin Gris again https://metalinjection.net/news/shinings-show-cancelled-after-frontman-accused-of-groping-women-drugging-drinks-threatening-violence I'm not much for canceling people but sieg hails and roofies invariably drop a band down my to-do list
budgie 12.01.25	the music is fkn good
Hawks 12.01.25	Budg did you really think I was serious???? Lmao And yes, the music is good for the most part.
Sevengill 12.01.25	should I start at 1 or V tho
Hawks 12.01.25	But yeah, that doesn't surprise me at all lmao. Dude is a wackjob.
budgie 12.01.25	jam V
Hawks 12.01.25	V rules.
Zac124 12.01.25	Lots of awesome looking albums here that I've never heard of before. Will probably check out a lot of these too.
Hawks 12.01.25	Hell yeah bro.
Hawks 12.02.25	Excited for today's album! Gonna jam on my lunch break.
Sevengill 12.02.25	I AM ALSO EXCITED lunch is almost here
Hawks 12.02.25	10 more minutes! Will report back with thoughts soon.
Hawks 12.02.25	We're two for two boys, Paara kicks insane amounts of ass HARD.
Sevengill 12.02.25	heeeeeellllll yeah. their second album is almost as good.
Hawks 12.02.25	What a riff fest.
necropig 12.04.25	He missed a day, it's over fellas
Hawks 12.04.25	Lmao jamming today. Had a funeral last night and didn't have time.
necropig 12.04.25	oof now my jokes in bad taste
Hawks 12.04.25	Its all good brother lmao!!
arthropod 12.04.25	...a funeral?
Hawks 12.04.25	Yes?
Hawks 12.04.25	3 fucking RULES.
necropig 12.04.25	gottem buddha
Hawks 12.04.25	Hell yeah!!!
pyroflare77 12.04.25	Hell yeah it does. One of my favorite literally whos I stumbled upon. People seem to think it's the same guy behind Mahpiya Luta and whatever the Japanese symbol for samurai is because same label same mystery anonymous "exotic" bm but idk the vocals don't sound the same to me as those other two.
Hawks 12.05.25	I gotta jam the first album too!! Moving right along, today's album bangs hard.
Muzz79 12.05.25	Yo my one is up next/
Hawks 12.06.25	About to jam it right now Muzz bro!!
Hawks 12.08.25	Will jam yesterday's rec on my lunch break then today's rec after work. Busy day yesterday lol.
arthropod 12.08.25	priorities
Hawks 12.08.25	Yes indeed my brother.
Hawks 12.08.25	Man, that Invultation album riffs hard. Nothing out of the ordinary, but a great bm/dm combo for sure.
AlkemestRedux 12.08.25	Agreed! The riffs are thick on it. The dude's previous album is great too, but I really love the grooves on Feral Legion.
Hawks 12.08.25	Heavy death/doom influence also, love that.
AlkemestRedux 12.08.25	Definitely! The slower riffs slay. I love Mark of the Fang especially. m///
Hawks 12.08.25	Yeah, that one rips insanely hard.
arthropod 12.08.25	Well, seems that Polish underground is doing great. What's your favourite cuts on 8?
Hawks 12.08.25	I'd have to go with Ashen Remains, Gallery of the Hung and Descending Terror as my favs right now. Album rips hard.
arthropod 12.08.25	Not sure about Ashen, interludes in metal generally do nothing for me. The others are my favs as well, along with Traitor(s). Gallery especially, I certainly didn't expect to hear a hip-hop beat in a bm song.
Hawks 12.08.25	Oh, thats not the one then lmao. Song before the interlude.
arthropod 12.08.25	Lol. Therefore we agree on Traitor 2, Gallery and Terror being highlights.
Hawks 12.08.25	Absolutely brother.
necropig 12.08.25	You've a hard days work tomorrow :3
Hawks 12.08.25	Believe me, I know it lmao.
necropig 12.08.25	You've permission to skip the last track as it's 20 mins of ambiance
Hawks 12.08.25	Nah, can't do that, gotta jam the whole thing!!
necropig 12.08.25	Kevin paradis is the session drummer for this one
Hawks 12.09.25	I was just about to say that the drumming is fan-fucking-tastic. Album is ruling hard so far.
necropig 12.09.25	highest rating so far ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Hawks 12.09.25	Yeah buddy, just barely! But definitely the best rec so far. They've all been good. Pagan Winter is the only one that was KINDA so-so, but it has some icy riffage.
budgie 12.09.25	necro has good taste
Hawks 12.09.25	Yes he does.
necropig 12.09.25	Did you manage to finish it all :3
Hawks 12.09.25	I did bro!! Such an amazing album.
necropig 12.09.25	Peak, glad you finally got to check it
Hawks 12.09.25	I'm glad too. Pissed that I waited so long lol.
necropig 12.09.25	https://mysticismproductions.bandcamp.com/album/de-f-rdolda-klangorna https://mysticismproductions.bandcamp.com/album/folkstorm Add these to your wishlist and give them a go sometime.
Hawks 12.09.25	Will do my brother.
Scoot 12.10.25	https://kannatama.bandcamp.com/track/every-monument-will-turn-to-dust-demo demo track is live hawksy
Hawks 12.10.25	M/////EN
Hawks 12.10.25	Moving right along, lots of great recs so far bros.
Zac124 12.10.25	Glad you enjoyed it! One of my favourite black metal discoveries of the year.
Hawks 12.10.25	Its so damn good bro. The synths and folk elements are incredibly done.
necropig 12.10.25	A Passage To The Towers by them is also great
Hawks 12.10.25	Will have to jam it HARD.
necropig 12.11.25	I remember coming across them and Aorlhac on the same night as I was hunting for french BM
Hawks 12.11.25	French bm rips.
budgie 12.11.25	yo necro jam anakreb fuir les hommes sick french bm https://anakreb.bandcamp.com/album/fuir-les-hommes
Hawks 12.11.25	Anakreb rules indeed.
necropig 12.11.25	added to the wishlist
Egarran 12.11.25	Down for a necro rec. Nyktalgia is good but has those despairing, anguished vocals. I want evil wizard plz. But ooh la la Aorlhac is very nice. I'm such a fangirl for VI - De Praestigiis Angelorum.
Hawks 12.12.25	Another day down. M////
necropig 12.12.25	3 more days until Hawks is hit with the German Gris And yes Aorlhac are some good cuisine de black metal
Hawks 12.12.25	German Gris sounds friggin sweet lol.
necropig 12.13.25	like egarran said, they've some despairing anguished vocals going on which reminds me of Gris
Hawks 12.13.25	NICE.
Hawks 12.14.25	Jamming yesterday's album and today's when I get home. Busy friggin weekend bros.
PizzaBear 12.15.25	Gonna need to check some of these, thanks for doing the pre-vetting for us Hawks!
Hawks 12.15.25	Hell yeah brother!!
Rowhaus 12.15.25	Sick bro glad you dug the Horna album!
Hawks 12.15.25	Absolutely bro, that one rips HARD. Tons of great riffs. Some moron on RYM gave it a 1.5 because of "repetitive riffs" like its not a fucking traditional bm album lmao.
Rowhaus 12.15.25	yeah way to miss the point lmao
Hawks 12.15.25	I mean, seriously. Super idiotic critique lmao.
necropig 12.15.25	bro been keeping up with his homework
Hawks 12.15.25	Hell yeah brother.
Hawks 12.15.25	Nyktalgia is fucking amazing.
necropig 12.15.25	lmao 2 4.5 in a row, watch my next rec get a 1 :3
Hawks 12.15.25	Doubt it bro lol.
Hawks 12.16.25	Moving right along. M////
necropig 12.16.25	pog
arthropod 12.16.25	Polish bm slowly approaching
Hawks 12.16.25	M/////EN
necropig 12.16.25	swedish and french are my next 2 rec's
Hawks 12.17.25	Damn Art bro, this Asteriae album kicks major ass.
arthropod 12.17.25	Hard. I knew it'd be a ripper ever since I heard Ruiny on air.
Hawks 12.17.25	Riffs super hard and the atmosphere is filthy. Reminds me of Downfall of Gaia.
arthropod 12.17.25	Oh, I haven't listened to that. The comparison seems inviting.
Hawks 12.17.25	Jam them hard.
Hawks 12.18.25	Loving this Thy Worshiper album.
arthropod 12.18.25	Hell yeah. From what I remember, Czarny used to be quite a hit in Polish underground bm circles (and is one of my favourite bm tracks ever), but this whole thing is great.
Hawks 12.18.25	Yeah, album rips insanely hard bro. Good rec!!
necropig 12.19.25	Soon find out if I'm 3 for 3 :)
Hawks 12.19.25	About to jam it now!!!
Hawks 12.19.25	Yeah, this shit rips.
necropig 12.19.25	good shit
Hawks 12.19.25	Hell yeah bro.
necropig 12.19.25	And yeah that album goes punky
Hawks 12.19.25	Definitely does. Love the raw bm/punk mixture in general.
necropig 12.19.25	It's the only album i've checked from the dude but his other projects are meant to be similar, may have given myself some homework
Hawks 12.19.25	Hell yeah bro, same here. Check the newest Trha album.
necropig 12.19.25	It's hard to keep up with Trha at this point
Hawks 12.19.25	I agree lmao. New one kicks ass and the split with Saidan is even better.
necropig 12.19.25	ok i didnt know about the saidan split so i'll sniff that out
pyroflare77 12.19.25	I'll always at least be up to date minus maybe a day or two for my Trha ranking list. I edited it so much the site removed it from Trha's sidebar despite being featured lmao. Can Ctrl+f the year to see if anything new showed up since the last peek.
Hawks 12.19.25	Pyro bro your dedication to that discog is insane in a good way. Major props.
Hawks 12.20.25	Seven with a fire rec, that Haxkapell album is absolutely stunning.
necropig 12.20.25	Guess I need to peep it
Hawks 12.20.25	Its so damn good.
Sevengill 12.20.25	I KNEW Hawks would be the one to get it
Hawks 12.20.25	Oh yeah bro, killer album.
arthropod 12.21.25	I will say, Antestor was a blind shot on my side but listening to it now, it sounds epic. If you're really planning to jam on Christmas Eve, I think you'll have a good time.
Hawks 12.21.25	Can't wait to jam HARD.
arthropod 12.21.25	The review of 8 is up, no shame for advertising on my side. btw what's with 21? It's the first time on this list that you gave an album less than a 3.0
Hawks 12.21.25	Its too long-winded and boring for my liking.
Hawks 12.22.25	Man, that Flesia album rules insanely hard.
ThyCrossAwaits 12.22.25	Right??? It’s like German black metal with gooey goregrind aesthetics and it’s great. Is there anything better than a buddy liking something you rec’d them? The best sort of feeling.
Hawks 12.22.25	It's pretty straightforward, but the production kicks ass and the riffs/vocals are so on point. Great rec brother!
ThyCrossAwaits 12.22.25	M///
Hawks 12.22.25	M//////EN
AlkemestRedux 12.22.25	I've been really digging black metal with melody lately so that Haxkepell album sounds awesome.
necropig 12.22.25	long german album names go ahrd
Hawks 12.22.25	It rules extremely hard bro.
arthropod 12.24.25	3.9 for Antestor seems apt, that album is potent. Personally didn't expect it to be this melodic and infused with synths.
Hawks 12.24.25	The death/doom influences surprised me in a good way. Killer, atmospheric album.
arthropod 12.24.25	For sure. Jammed it while writing my last review, I needed a change of pace after ingesting Morthar, Venom, Bathory, Mayhem and Hellhammer/Celtic Frost all night lol.
Hawks 12.24.25	Hell yeah bro.
Sevengill 12.25.25	looking forward to your thoughts on Haxkapell, Alkemest. it covers so much ground -- maybe too much? I can't think of another obvious turnoff for the couple low ratings beyond "not cohesive". even though I think it is.
Hawks 12.25.25	I second what Seven said.
Hawks 12.27.25	Today's album is a BANGER.
PizzaBear 12.27.25	Gonna have to check some of these on my flight tomorrow
Hawks 12.27.25	Hell yeah brother.
necropig 12.27.25	Yes bro, aorlhac go hard as fuck
Hawks 12.27.25	That shit rules HARD.
budgie 12.27.25	imagine listening to black metal
Hawks 12.27.25	CAN'T STOP WON'T STOP!!!
Sevengill 12.28.25	MEN
Hawks 12.28.25	[2]
PizzaBear 12.28.25	3.1? Sadge
Hawks 12.28.25	Yeah, didn't love that album, its decent lol.
Sevengill 12.29.25	it's Sognametal time, boys
Hawks 12.29.25	About to jam in a few minutes!!
Sevengill 12.29.25	your commitment to this list is a huge green flag for relationships
Hawks 12.29.25	Fuck yeah. M////
Sevengill 12.30.25	anything stand out to you on Hanter? it's def Windir worship but the riffs are tasty and the atmosphere is snowy. what else matters, really?
Hawks 12.30.25	The riffage is definitely what stands out hard.
Hawks 12.30.25	Another banger today. M////
Sevengill 12.30.25	hell yeah my dude. it was a softball given we both love paysage, but it's a really neatly-packaged EP. nice pacing, balance, and production. just wish it was on streaming.
Hawks 12.30.25	I wish there was a bit more actual bm, but the atmosphere is so on point.
Sevengill 12.30.25	tru. it's about 1:1, while 2:1 is perf or maybe 2.40:1 I like my atmosblack in anamorphic widescreen.
Hawks 12.30.25	I get that for sure lol.
Hawks 01.01.26	Going for Hin-Fort right now!!
Sevengill 01.01.26	STILL GOING
budgie 01.01.26	STILL GOING
Hawks 01.01.26	STILL MENING
