You have a Summoning avatar, so I am definitely going to check these out, as you obviously have excellent taste. XDIstaroth said:
Eh, okay, I might check it out... I just don't like supporting bands that are explicitly connected to NS. I can survive listening to bands that are indirectly connected to NS like Burzum, Watain, Taake, and Nachtmystium, but stuff that directly supports nazism and/or wotanism I find hard to stomach. :\BathorysGraveland2 said:
Agreed. While this might get me in trouble with some of the black metal purists out there, I always liked Emperor better on the later two albums, where Ihsahn basically did all the heavy lifting. He is immensely talented.BreakfastMan said:
Sorry, but that really makes no sense to me. Varg is one of the worst of the lot. Have you ever read the shit he posts on his blog? There's more anti-semitism and fucked up belief in him than all the Polish black metal scene combined. I understand not wanting to support such artists (you can still listen without giving them money) with beliefs varied from your own, but having Burzum as an exception is.. well, odd to say the least. As I said, Varg is one of the worst.BreakfastMan said:
I know how bad Varg is. You don't stab your best friend over 20 times and commit arson, and get to remain a "nice" person. But regardless, he never directly preaches racism in his songs. He just seems to sing about the usual kvlt and pagan stuff.BathorysGraveland2 said:
Which is no different than Graveland from 1998-onward. Since then, it's been entirely old European warriors engaging in battle and hailing their gods. That's the extent of it. Hell, from recent interviews I've read, Rob Darken has calmed down a lot since his rebellious youth attitudes of the 90's, anyway. I'd say gave it a chance.BreakfastMan said:
Well... I am. I have Dawn of the Iron Blades open in a YouTube tab now (though, I admit, I am not listening to it ATM. I am actually listening to the Dead version of Freezing Moon, simply because I have had that opening riff going through my head all damn day), mostly because of what you said about the album.BathorysGraveland2 said:
'Freezing Moon' is a great song, though I prefer Attila's vocals. They're just completely, utterly ominous and evil. Mayhem just released a song from their new album actually, entitled 'Psywar'. It wasn't too bad.BreakfastMan said:
I dunno, I just think Dead's voice works much better with the song. His croaks just seem to work better with it.BathorysGraveland2 said:
I'm a confessed Vader fanboy. They're one of my upmost favourite bands and I respect Peter (the frontman) to the highest degree possible you can respect a musician. So.. I'm a little biased in this situation xDSmashLovesTitanQuest said:
Well, a number of those, like Ulver, Rotting Christ, and Wolves In The Throne Room are fairly big (for black metal), but a lot of them are not so much... Though I admit, I have listened to close to half the artists on that list. And based on the bands you have posted, you have damn fine taste. XDOmniscientOstrich said:
Yeah, I probably should have sussed that seeing some of the other bands you've been mentioning, I guess I'm just too much of an Ulver fanboy not to post them in any given music thread. XD Plus there are those bands like Ved Buens Ende that fall into the pretty well known (relatively speaking obviously) yet somewhat overlooked category. Also I'd never heard of Melechesh until this thread and Sphynx seems to be the subject of much praise so I'll have to check that out. :3BreakfastMan said:

If you like black-metal bands that are focused on space/science fiction, give Vektor a listen. They are basically blackened Voivod, and are utterly fantastic.Nil Kafashle said:
I know it's a bit of a necro, but I've been listening to a lot more black metal lately and I'd like to give my 2 cents. Try these ones, you might find something you like. Keep in mind that some of these are genre-mashing bands that take black metal as an influence rather than pure black metal.BreakfastMan said:
I love things that genre-mash black metal and other stuff, myself.mitchell271 said:
Already knew of and enjoyed 1349 and Kvelertak. Heard of the others, but haven't gotten around to listening to them yet. XD
Most BM I can really take or leave (mainly leave) but that was awesome! Definitely have to check then out.Nil Kafashle said:
