oh hey bm.

god fucking dammit if this isn't gonna be my album of the year imma start questioning my existence

Also it's not out yet. Bandcamp says digital album releases February 17, 2017 and the CDs are shipping around November 25.

fuck yeah

Looks like what new Alcest cover should have been

[2]

AOTY

"Looks like what new Alcest cover should have been"

lol legit the first thing I said when I saw it, for some reason the music is still amazing but the album cover is a mix of COCKTAIL and Alcest

very nice

Extremely boring, tedious, tiresome, unremarkable, forgettable and dull song. Is the rest of their stuff like this? If so, this would be just another ordinary BM band whose stuff gets highly praised for no good reason, just like Mgla and Batushka.

Good, go away, Maco. You have terrible taste and nobody wants you around.

Also you're stupid and don't have ears.

Naa I will stay to annoy you a little bit more.

Song is a big build to nothing

Big sigh

lol roasted

This is pretty cool. Gonna have to give their other stuff a listen.

"If so, this would be just another ordinary BM band whose stuff gets highly praised for no good reason, just like Mgla and Batushka."

Shittaste shitter detected.

Henbane was godly.

You even think À l’Âme Enflammée, l’Äme Constellée… is godly so lol.

Great band yeah this is exciting.

"You even think À l’Âme Enflammée, l’Äme Constellée"

From a song writing perspective it's 10x as good as most shit you 5'd, so there's that.

Yeah this is awesome, they nailed the atmosphere.

Mgla and Batushka *are* both good, but this slower occult bm never really does it for me.

Yeah but you 2 Darkthrone and shit so I'm not even convinced you like any BM at all.

okkvlt

From a song writing perspective it's 10x as good as most shit you 5'd, so there's that.

An average mediocrity is what it is.

And about Darkthrone, the only problem I have with them is Transilvanian Hunger, the rest is enjoyable. But in the end there's better shit out there.

"An average mediocrity is what it is."

You officially have the worst taste on this entire site. Quite the accomplishment actually.

Say what the Gris fan?

As if that is an insult, funny guy.

Lol at Maco trying to act elite when he's 5'd Strapping Young Lad and Lurker of Chalice

Says what the Ghoulgotha fan?

Hell yeah, Ghoulgotha fucking slays.

Along with Hellhammer, Cultes des Ghoules and just about every other killer band you hate because you're still 17 and trying to understand how your ears work.

It works better than yours that's for sure.

"Lol at Maco trying to act elite when he's 5'd Strapping Young Lad and Lurker of Chalice"

Woa man Lurker of Chalice is solid stuff

Why are you guys even wasting your time on this Maco guy anyway

SYL rules you plebs

"Why are you guys even wasting your time on this Maco guy anyway"

For funzies.

They don't like when somebody kills his darlings.

Plebs can't kill my darlings.

That's not what that saying means

yeah snox wtf Lurker rules. It's seriously only Sputnik that doesn't like it.

Nothing's wrong with Lurker of Chalice, it's just a solid 3, that's all.
SYL does indeed suck hard though.

You're a solid 3

was never big on strapping but they dont suck Hevvy Devvy is a modern prophet

thread is ruined, far beyond reparation. But I'll try

Why don't you guys talk about the track?

Haven't listened, waiting for my CD. It's gonna be one big concept beauty so I'm not gonna ruin it with previews. CdG works so much better as one massive ritualistic whole

didn't have enough blasts and their slow style is booooring

The less blasts in black metal the better

Storm of the Light's Bane yes, Transylvanian Hunger no

"The less blasts in black metal the better"

Wat..

Storm sucks, Tranny rules, but it's still Darkthrone's least cool album because it sparked a lot of bad black metal

Cultes des Ghoules are taking black metal back to the style of Beherit and it's amazing

I don't like blast beats much.

"Storm sucks"

Man I really started to think we could be friends, but now.

"Storm sucks, Tranny rules, but it's still Darkthrone's least cool album because it sparked a lot of bad black metal"

It's like you chose this thread as a place to go on about every wrong opinion you have ugh

Dissection is just about everything I don't like about second wave black metal

Also how can your fave genres be death and black while not liking blast beats much I don't even

I'm starting to think maco might not have been the craziest one in this thread after all

Because the best black and death metal bands don't use blast beats as a crutch and instead are creative and not boring

"Because the best black and death metal bands don't use blast beats "

Paysage (literally best band ever) uses blasts.

1. Using blasts =/= overutilising them
2. Paysage isn't the best band ever soz

"Paysage isn't the best band ever soz"

We definitely can't be friend now.

"1. Using blasts =/= overutilising them"

You just said you didn't like them though

he also said

"use blast beats as a crutch"

I don't because of how overused they are in black and death metal. They're fine if they're used proportionately, or very rarely.

I think complaining that this doesn't have enough blasts is one of the band's best qualities because mid-paced black metal > all black metal

"mid-paced black metal > all black metal"

yeah it's not that simple.

It's that simple for me

snox are you my bizarro twin bc I'm thinking you are

but it's still Darkthrone's least cool album because it sparked a lot of bad black metal

fuckin lol

It's true, what started off as a bedroom experiment blew up into the all-wrong repetitive second wave atmotrendz

"but it's still Darkthrone's least cool album"

naaaah



"it sparked a lot of bad black metal"

He has a point there though.

That's a stupid reason to dislike (or like it less whatever) an album. It's like saying that Sabbath sucks just because there are many bad heavy metal bands

but so did Hvis and every single Summoning album

"That's a stupid reason to dislike (or like it less whatever) an album"

I'm not disliking the album, just saying snox has a point there.

Well but Sabbath rules and Tranny still rules but it's just still my least fave 'Throne. It's still a 4/5

@Zar: and Hvis is boring and Summoning are most of the time super boring too

Summoning super boring

For once you're right.

"Hvis is boring"

You really need to get slapped for saying that...

Det Som for life

Det Som hvis version yeah. ;)

"The less blasts in black metal the better"

Tend to agree, blast beats these days and even before are largely recycled and constrain creativity. Also Storm is not very good in my opinion.

"The less blasts in black metal the better"

blasts > d-beats > all other beats

Nonono my friend, d-beats are the best beats

The best beats are those that work best with the music.

It's not set in stone.

Nonono, d-beats--always

Mgla and Batushka and dissection are all bad bands yeah

No

d-beats are definitely the best beats though

Oo-ka-do--do-ka

d-beats are pretty nice. If Darkthrone had done crusty black metal with some actual speed to it I woulda dug them.

hoooly shit

Honesty maco you have some decent 5's, City kicks ass. but this is solid as fuck so you can get the fuck outta heeeere!

Hyyyyyype

leave summoning out of this u filthy heathens

94 comments, god damn.

most of it was arguing.

rofl this already leaked. Hail Satan.

Grimmer than their other recordings, might be their coolest and most barbaric album yet

conflicting opinions here

It's clear POZERKING doesnt use his ears properly. This is slower and heavier than their past stuff

gotta listen later, henbane was ma jam.
