 | Hawks Man this is really good but its a complete Kekht Arakh ripoff lol. Sound exactly like him.
|
| Hawks Hell yeah I'm on it!
|
 | dedex doing fine too thanks! is the PhD approaching its conclusion?
|
| dedex sorry gary i wasnt wowed!!!! I promise I will give it another listen to triple check imma dumbass! on another note i hope you and the missus are doing fine :]
|
| Hawks Give this a jam!! https://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=44800
|
 | budgie pestkraft - ancestral sounds.
|
| Hawks Loving this Forgotten Woods demo! Sounds like a more post-punk(ish) version of Burzum lol.
|
| Hawks Actually gonna add to my metal rec list. I got a few others to get to first lmao. So much music so little time.
|
| Hawks Looks sick brother! Will jam tonight after work!
|
| Hawks I think I dig new Aara a tad more than you but I 100% agree with your soundoff lol.
|
 | ScuroFantasma Congrats and well done on the Ornatorpet write up, super pleasing to see that album make it to the list at all, let alone so high and with a Garas plug.
|
 | Bedex I'm always down for some chill ambient thanks man!
|
 | foxblood https://thesandyclaws.bandcamp.com/album/blackest-christmas
|
| foxblood Could you listen to my new album? you have great opinions on black metal and I'd love for you to hear it. thanks!
|
 | Sunnyvale Yes sir! I tend to like but not love dungeon synth, but this was one of the better albums I've heard in the genre!
|
| ScuroFantasma I was coming to rec new Ornatorpet but you are all over it!
|
| Hawks Yeah bro its easily the worst I've heard from him.
|
| Hawks s*** turns out I'm with you on the new Vampirska too lmao. Damn 2 of my fav modern bm bands release some duds.
|
| Hawks 100% agree with you on new Thy Catafalque. It blows lol.
|
 | ToSmokMuzyki bro i highjacked that atlantean sword album and im not even in this universe any more
|
| Hawks The Pagan Prosperity is my fav but you can't go wrong. Amazing band.
|
| Hawks So happy to see you digging Old Man's Child! Galder is the man. Been jamming them for almost 2 decades now lol.
|
| ScuroFantasma Hey man, we have a lot of overlap in terms of taste, what am I sleeping on this year? Particularly keen for one or two ds recs, but open to anything else you think I?d like.
|
| Hawks I give you tons of credit bro. I never had the drive or motivatio to even go to college. Thinking about this program for heavy equipment operator. I already drive a damn forklift and could do it with my eyes closed, might as well go for a similar field that pays more lol.
|
| Hawks Damn man wish I had drive like that. I'm ok. Hitting the point where I need to find something to do with my life instead of dead end jobs. Place I'm at now is ok but not what I wanna do for the next 30 years. Getting by day by day though.
|
| Hawks Hey I'm in the running for most bm in pie over number of ratings!!! Lmao hope all is well buddy.
|
| ToSmokMuzyki full album here if u still interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYaSm0aAhco
|
 | Gameofmetal So where do you think you and I rank these days on the how much black metal one can fit into the pie over a certain number of ratings leaderboard lol?
|
| budgie "we have bathory at home"lmao yeah its not amazing
|
| Hawks Never a bad idea lmao. Will jam that today. Your soundoff is intriguing!
|
| Hawks Give me a good raw bm rec!!
|
| Hawks Bro jam the new Fulci its amazing!! Just wrote up a review for it.
|
| Hawks Yep you hit the nail on the head there my man lol.
|
| Hawks Update: Blasfeme debut is dece but I will probably never jam again lol. Completely different than the new one. Kinda more polished and a symphonic black/death hybrid. Not terrible but not that great either lol.
|
| Hawks 100% one of the best bm albums this year. Gonna jam their debut tonight and the **** Your Starving Planet EP is absolutely killer too.
|
| Hawks Man that new Blasfeme album is so damn killer. Raw melodic bm is honestly my fav kind of bm atm. Jammed their **** Your Starving Planet EP last night too and it rules. Great find buddy!
|
 | neekafat It surprised me too but it ****ing rips!!! Def my kinda metal
|
| Hawks Your soundoff for 200 Stab Wounds is spot on bro!! So much better than their debut.
|
| budgie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pu3KCBg4hI
|
| Hawks That demo is incredible DAMN!!! Have u jammed any Phantom Spire yet??? I think u would dig ahrd.
|
| Hawks Oh hell yeah I will be jamming that on my way home from work tonight!
|
| Hawks LMAO SORRY BRO!!! That's honestly how I review in general. I hear something and it inspires me to write something on the spot lmao. Morgul Blade def needs one! More people gotta hear it. :]
|
| Hawks Hey buddy sorry if I stepped on ur toes a bit with reviewing Order of Nosferat! I jammed it and got inspired to write something up lol. Also jamming that Morgul Blade album right now and it is so damn good!
|
 | Futures i've been checking the soundoffs lately, found a few cool underseen bands that way! got me in the habit of writing them myself, even wrote one for order of nosferat. just 10 minute quick thoughts, might expand into reviews again. can't wait to read that review man!
|
| Futures checked out order of nosferat because of your soundoff! really awesome stuff. like if 2nd wave bm never stopped and kept evolving. such fun stuff. hope you're gonna review it!
|
 | ThyCrossAwaits YESSSSS I feel like I?ve been alone on this hill defending Black Cascade forever lol
|
| ToSmokMuzyki he is a magic knight his main sword floats behind him and he can conjure more out of his leather straps
|
| ToSmokMuzyki but why not be this ai art instead https://ibb.co/D79cTtc
|
 | DDDeftoneDDD Btw Coffin Storm is one massive riffer...I can bare the vocals..
|
| DDDeftoneDDD I don t care if half record is synthwave. The riffs are so humpffy m/
|
| Futures sup dude. was curious if you or anyone else is gonna review that coffin storm album? fun stuff! was thinking of giving it a crack if nobody else was going to.
|
| DDDeftoneDDD I m digging this s*** lol https://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=404032
|
| ToSmokMuzyki eh its a necessarily transitory bum but way overflatingly overrated agreed
|
| DDDeftoneDDD Waaaa. Thick and razor sharp at the same time m/ tks
|
| Hawks Gonna jam that Skarpseian album today!
|
 | Pikazilla it's just got a lot of playing from the heart I reckon
|
| ToSmokMuzyki it starts good then goes down down down to the bottom of the sea
|
| dedex heyyyyya congrats bro m/ m/ m/
|
| ToSmokMuzyki and technically anachronistic but it was more fun than saying generic as hell
|
| dedex Terribly sorry I didn't see your rec! it's now in the backlog wooooo
|
| Hawks U were correct. Probably the best DS album I've heard to date. M///
|
| Hawks Will let you know later!
|
| Hawks Gonna jam that Thangorodrim album u have 5'd after work tonight. Looks SICK.
|
| dedex yeah i really didnt get the mega hype about it. btw don't hesitate to shout any cool 2024 release!!!!
|
| Hawks Will czech right now!!!
|
| ToSmokMuzyki lol theres nothing personal js and yes venom is the funomest
|
| budgie hey check out s***hammered - atomic sodomizer, made me think of too old too cold EP
|
 | Dewinged i just read your Valdrin soundoff and **** man, I thought exactly the same "this is like Tribulation gone symphoblack" ;D
|
 | Pho3nix garas! ach! I actually like the vocals ^^ I should give Caladan Brood a re-listen, I remember not being super impressed by Echoes of Battle (currently at 3.0 for me)
|
 | naughtcturnal just saw your soundoff on that 2nd Fluids album. For some reason I was reminded of it this week. Awful awful intro where did they even get that s***?? Should?ve put a warning on the album cover let alone even use that intro at all. Disgusting. Had to vent to someone about it
|
| Pho3nix garas! you might enjoy: https://mjaltsjuka.bandcamp.com/album/nordiska-svarth-gor
|
 | manosg Hey, garas! Yes, I have and it's definitely a step-up from their previous one. Can't say that I was amazed, but it's pretty damn good!
|
| dedex yeah i was booooored :[ imma return you the comment tho: 1.5 on Last????? DAMN!!!
|
 | 86vatrushka Hey there greetings from Russia! I noticed you are the big black metal fan on this site! Wanted to recommend to you a couple of Russian bands I added to the database: SS-18, Baal Zebuth and Deathmoor. Other Russian bands that don't have much attention that I recommend: Black Flux, Lashblood, Witchprayer. Hope you can check them some time!
|
| Gameofmetal ooo that's an interesting choice, never did listen to any of their stuff besides the 2015 album.
|
| Gameofmetal So what's your BM aoty looking like so far? Blut Aus Nord taking it?
|
| dedex phew i was scared you were mad at me!!!! hope life is treating you well :)
|
| dedex i used to put my decimal rating at the end of each soundoff. now I can immediately put that rating m/
|
 | Hello, I think this band is interesting to listen! https://open.spotify.com/artist/5V72nKDg2DxMVtGt9pjpFA?si=6B23Fr17ToWmklmVJg6AUg
|
| Dewinged Thanks for the heads up! Oh yeah I know this band, and you know me well ! ;)
|
| Pho3nix https://orcus-vm.bandcamp.com/album/the-pyramid - Perhaps something of interest for you!
|
 | arf you should probably check out billy odal btw
|
| arf dinosaurs are my best friends, what can I say (it grows on you on relistens)
|
 | Kompys2000 Yeah lol coworker's a big sabbath guy so I figure I might as well get around to all their well-liked stuff I haven't heard yet. Good s*** and "Neon Knights" kicks like a mule but I'm still about as puzzled by the hype around Dio as I was after hearing "Holy Diver" in high school (he's a good singer; 80s metal is full of good singers)
|
 | JeremiahBullfrog Garas! Super slow reply sorry! All good here, I changed jobs so I have very limited access to the internet throughout the day now lol. How are you???
|
| Pho3nix Thanks for the rec, friend! for me Erang has always been a little hit and miss... my fave release being 'Endless Realms and Nostalgic Gods'. I'll definitely give it a listen.This is one of the weirder items I have on my wishlist, you might dig it: https://amndungeonsynth.bandcamp.com/album/shadows-of-amn
|
| arf Hey, thanks for the rec - you should check out the last Knights of Nvrul album; it's a big improvement over previous efforts imo.
|
 | Trifolium Hahahahaha yeah I totally get that. It is super silly and goofy indeed. Cliché and almost parody maybe. Well, you never know! Better luck next time! Enjoy this glorious weekend garas!
|
| Trifolium Haha, enjoy! I think for me it can be the ultimate goofy in a good way music on one day, and go a little too far on another, depending on the mood. Curious what you think!
|
| Trifolium I really don't know if it's your thing garas, but this is super nicely goth and kind of almost electro-ish or something, I quite like it (I think!) and maybe you will too? https://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=444002
|
| dedex These two are duly noted! And yeah don't hesitate to hit me up with sick recs m/
|
| dedex My man, you know how to warm my heart, many thanks to you! Btw what would be your go-to dungeon synth 2022 releases on top of Old Sorcery???
|
 | Voivod Hi man, if I were you, I would submit "S.O.O" or more simply "SOO". Go for the second option, the simpler the better. If duplicate band pages arise, they will be spotted sooner or later.
|
 | Demon of the Fall Ashenspire? like if White Ward were actually cohesive / good. I'm at a loss to be honest.
|
| Demon of the Fall the garas seal of approval where BM's concerned is always welcome! - would've been better if we'd agreed on something actually good mind
|
 | JohnnyoftheWell garas save the day!! https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=201274
|
 | 0xME just wanted to tell you that Null released their follow-up to Hiraeth. I haven't listened to it yet but it should be a jam https://nullbm.bandcamp.com/album/origin
|
| JohnnyoftheWell Oh hahaha love that, weird timing! I'll lyk if there's anything you can do, but in the meantime nag me to finish it lol, would love to get it up and away at last
|
| JohnnyoftheWell got your vargnatt blurb and is only missing a handful of entries AAAAH
|
| JohnnyoftheWell OH MY GOODNESS DUDE I JUST HOOKED MY NEW(ish) MAC UP TO ICLOUD AND SAW THAT MY ULVER DRAFT FROM LIKE 2 YEARS AGO WAS BACKED UP AAAHAHA
|
 | Pangea garas, do you have a rec for this month's sotd? The theme is comeback songs. https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=200084
|
 | Gnocchi You sir are a gem and I love you
|
| arf to return a recommendation, you should check out the new elyvilon https://elyvilon.bandcamp.com/album/drums-in-the-deepwood
|
| arf fen walker / scrying glass split, v nice... and that sax solo caught me off guard lol
|
 | Flugmorph damn i added a bunch more EPs to the mori calliope page and rated them, now theyre gone again. i did everything correctly... wtf
|
| Flugmorph ok epic you regained my respect, thanks for the help lol
|
| Pikazilla Yeah, it's run of the mill blackgaze, no clue why everyone is hyping it so hard
|
| Pikazilla Check the new count raven for some quality doom time
|
| DDDeftoneDDD LMAO when you talked to me I was at 4. Yesterday was a 4.5, since I saw different povs and debatable views I did this little exercise I do often, drop a 4 and reevaluate with a listen or my own thoughts. I like every Mastodon and like this over the prev 3 lps. Quick skimmed the record, boom 4.5 again lol so much text for something you already knew would happen XD
|
| DDDeftoneDDD Those solos. Humhum Im not a solo guy bit these are fkin dirty.
|
| DDDeftoneDDD Ahah yeah I prob will. It s growing on me. Since its kinda divisive I m being cautious. I m starting to love the 2nd part over the first. If it was only disc 1 I d stick to 4, like any late don. These guys without being any heavier (au contraire) managed to pull back vibes from CtS. A real treat, may anyone be willing to enjoy X)
|
| dedex dudes are really strong when it comes to make high af riffz m/
|
| Bedex inspiration comes and goes, it'll be back. hope you keep soundoffing when it does!
|
| Bedex great form with the soundoffs man keep it up! m/
|
 | Divaman Thanks garas. I'll pick it up later this week.
|
| manosg I definitely remember the cover art, but haven't checked it. Your soundoff makes this a very promising listen. Thanks!
|
 | TheNotrap Cheers. Take a peek at this, when you can: https://fustilarian.bandcamp.com/releases. Portuguese BM. You might dig it.
|
 | Egarran no they have a public profile you can write tono idea how effective that is
|
| Egarran Aight Pan is on it. I've asked them on facebook.
|
| Dewinged Dude you ever heard of Bataille? Might be up your alley.
|
| JohnnyoftheWell big if tru. and nice nice, forgot you can't type d*leted into these lil deathboxes
|
| JohnnyoftheWell yeah do it, either say it was a statement or an accident ( get itd) and sneak that rate in while the moment is ripe today is the day
|
 | JesperL HELLO black metal king, you may enjoy the one with the riverbed record i recently reviewed!
|
 | Elynna I meant the band Obtained Enslavement: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/bands/Obtained-Enslavement/10219/You should check them out if you haven't, I think you'll like them. Really great symphonic black
|
| Elynna That Warmoon Lord record is great! Reminds me somewhat of Obtained Enslavement and Emperor, albeit with more epic soundscapes.
|
| Pikazilla There's a new one? **** yes! The debut was awesome m///
|
 | DungeonBoy Hey Garas! That's awesome man, glad to hear you enjoyed it!
|
| Pikazilla man I love me some taake, thank you for the headsup!!!
|
| manosg Haha, not random at all dude and yeah Trouble rules. Since you like their s/t so much, I'd rec you Danzig, you'll probably love him.
|
| Hawks Yes sir it had to be done. m/
|
| Hawks It's so damn amazing bro. It's like Marduk meets Emperor meets Thorns.
|
| manosg Great title and those lyrics... oh man, haha!
|
| Pikazilla Check the new Lord of Pagathorn - sounds like Immortal, so you might dig
|
| Pikazilla Actually checked it before it was added! Solid stuff! They also have great DS albums in discog
|
| Divaman Say garas, have you got a song for SOTD this month? The theme is songs under a minute long.
|
 | parksungjoon i feel like if you dig gehennah and dont mind something that leans harder into punk while still drawing from the same influences you might also like dishammer
|
| Bedex Chihei Hatakeyama - Minima Moralia (lush ambient for sunny chilling xoxo)
|
| budgie medieval knights black metal is the coolest aesthetic ever right?
|
| budgie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmidlKdAdmo
|
| Egarran Hah, Ctrl F 'Ancient' on your ratings = 27 hits, nice.But you didn't have Ancient - Svartalvheim and that's a mistake. (Kekht made me think of that album). https://youtu.be/PwL4LzPoa_4
|
| Pho3nix I understand. And yea "copycat army" is a good way to put it! I feel the vaporwave scene also suffers from this. Oh definitely! :] I've found some cool stuff from your lists man.
|
| Pho3nix Let me know if/when you are doing a dungeon synth 2021 list - I've been too busy to check out any new projects lately ^^
|
| parksungjoon no need to be insecure, im nice to anyone who's nice. sometimes im not nice to albums, but that doesnt mean i hate the band or their fans
|
| parksungjoon lol no need for apologies man. i'll check them out when i get the chance. i like midnight, chapel, s*******er... maybe not so much devil master
|
| parksungjoon i dont think so, venom-worship it seems? m-a has voted motorhead and midnight for similars as well
|
| Gameofmetal Appreciated, super wired to work on the new record already. Reckon it probably outta be a full length this time.
|
| Gameofmetal Got a new Dark Watcher EP out if you're interested, looks like you liked the last one :) https://darkwatcher.bandcamp.com/album/hymns-of-a-godless-land
|
 | Koris Yeah man! It?s crazy how solid of a comeback that one was. Granted, as weak as Cold Lake is, I never thought it was necessarily the trainwreck a lot of people deeemed it
|
| Pangea i'm listening to the underground resistance now and it rules so hard damn. top tier darkthrone for sure. also it's at 666 ratings now m/ gonna feel bad for rating it later
|
| Bedex ooo interesting i'll try to remember to check!
|
| Bedex 'Forlesen is an ambient/doom/black metal band' is it drone [i]metal[/i] ? :O
|
| 0xME hey man, I just noticed you got Contibutor! I did't even realize you applied, but it it most well deserved; It was about time DS got some semblence of recognition on here, although I really enjoyed your piece on the digbox; it's always interesting to see the kind of music that people enjoy without gushing about it
|
| Bedex it's all a matter of taste my man!
|
 | Pheromone Not to server one, just for moi to add you just so we can chat? Its cool if not, i get it.
|
| Pheromone garas where did you go?? lemme add you on discord
|
| manosg Nice! Had no idea, actually. Will jam tomorrow morning!
|
| Divaman Are you an admirer of Conqueror's Mourn? They (he) has a new album out on bandcamp.
|
 | DrGonzo1937 I'm glad mate, I know you'll do a great job!
|
| DrGonzo1937 Congrats garas. Your promotion is well deserved
|
 | tyman128 thanks brother, looking forward to working alongside you and the other contribs this year!
|
| Pheromone congrats garas bro !!! really enjoy how we've been able to speak more over this past year - you're a great user n pal
|
