Norweigan Black Metal

[thefacemelterfl]

Anybody listen to this shit? It's one of few genre's I've never been able to get into. Shit like Cradle of Filth I guess being the popular band in this style. I have a friend that's real into a group called Mayhem though, that supposedly does all kinds of crazy sacrifices and shit at their shows. Weird shit.:chinese:

Mayhem has a fun history, you should look them up. Basically, a vocalist kills himself, band members take pictures of the scene, and the bass player kills the guitarist (separate events obviously..it'd be even more fun if it all happened at once). They're not anything special, but I like the album "De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas".

The only Norweigan BM band I really like is Darkthrone. Their new stuff is kind of lame, but all their older shit is pretty good.

What the fuck see that shit's crazy, where is Mayhem from?

 

[Syk0tic]

Cradle of Filth is from England lol. But COF is really in their own league, they mix a lot of metal genres in their music, it's best to call them Extreme Metal. If it wasn't for the main norwegian bands Black metal wouldn't be what it is today, I respect that.. but they're a bit overrated. I'd take Taake over them anyday. Anyways, France > Norway.

Norway lol

 

[thefacemelterfl]

Yeah that's what I thought, crazy ass norweigans killing each other and dressing up in crazy outfits and painting their faces and shit. fuck that.

 

[thefacemelterfl]

i do respect the talent of it though... just not really my scene.

 

[Fucky McFuckerson]

Cradle Of Filth has some cool shit...and some real weird shit that i just cant get into.

 

[thefacemelterfl]

yeah that's how i feel bout the whole genre of black metal

 

[Jake]

only thing i have ever heard from cradle of flith is a cover they did of "hallowed be thy name"

 

[fershiggs]

France > Norway.

qft

I could never get into any of the old Norwegian bands aside from Burzum. Eastern Europe and France have put out the best black metal imo.

 

[thefacemelterfl]

anybody doin this shit in the states?

anybody doin this shit in the states?

Leviathan is from SF, Xasthur is from somewhere in CA, and Krieg is from Jersey. Those are probably the most popular ones. Oh and Wolves in the Throne Room is from Washington, they get hella popular two months ago.

 

[thefacemelterfl]

interesting....

 

[DeathPotion]

Some of tha old CoF shit was ok, I aint feelin the new shit really... not really that big on black metal.

Dimmu Borgir (preferably older) and Celtic Frost are ok tho...

 

[DNI]

Keep hearing about Xasthur gonna have to check 'em out, any reccomendations?

 

[Psilo707]

um i better hear some shit from France (post it! im down to listen) if youre really gonna say its a better country for metal than Norway.

Norway, Sweden, Finland, and America are simply the best metal countries that have ever existed. With America probably being the most recent.

Brenoritvrezorkre (Band from the LLN, my avatar) (filthy, disgusting black metal)
Belkètre (another LLN band) (raw black metal)
Mütiilation (former LLN band, 'Hail Satanas We Are The Black Legions' is a classic)
Malcuidant (great tortured vocals)
Ordo Templi Aeternae Lucis (Raw, their split with Hayras if probably one of the best bm splits ever)
Eikenskaden (The Black Lament's Symphonie, get it.)
Depressive Winter (Have their own sound, depressing with great vocals)
Dyster (Fallen, Suicided, and Forgotten)

I'm on soulseek if you want to check out these bands.
Rihanna's Hairy Situation
