04.29.26 | I would agree with all of these, yeah. I think Mortuary Drape’s first album would also qualify. Most crusty dusty, esoteric stuff I’ve head in awhile. |

04.29.26 | Agreed on Mortuary Drape and hell yeah Archgoat, underrated band on Sput for sure. |
AlkemestRedux
04.29.26 | I think the bands on Cestrum Nocturnum Recordings, a little esoteric PNW label, are doing some really cool stuff. A new Pyrkagion album is due out this year and I'm stoked. |

04.29.26 | dude there are so many good black metal groups doing legit black metal right now
fe necrosorcery, fellwinter, black lycanthropy, pestkraft, gauntlet ring, arnaut pavle, diabolical fullmoon all have records that sound like they were released in 1991 and would have been classics if they were |

04.29.26 | Oh! Check out Mare - Ebony Tower too. By one of the dudes from Behexen and it's freaky, flowy black metal with echoes of Cultes des Ghoules, which could also make this list. |

04.29.26 | Spectral Wound sort of epitomizes that type of black metal that I'm drawn to. Not as dissonant or depressing as some other classic BM bands, but they make a style of black metal that checks all the right boxes for me. |

04.29.26 | if you exclusively want that occult black metal vibe, early Abruptum is where its at. it's a lot more ambient and weird but has that black metal vibe at it's core.
Abruptum - Obscuritatem advoco amplectère me
but yeah by the blessing of satan is a sick album, especially the first few tracks. |

04.30.26 | Can agree especially with Mortuary Drape fitting here. I think of Tsjuder and Ofermod, too. |
