Judas Iscariot - Heaven in flames

Never gotten into Judas Iscariot. Always sounded like NM-era Ulver-rip-offs to me, even though JI came first.

hmm.. i disagree.. haven't heard more than two of his albums, though, and i don't know which albums you've heard. But Heaven in Flames doesn't sound anything like NM-era ulver, imho, except they both use drums and electric guitars.

my dad got angry with me back then for listening to this while he was driving the car " Turn that shit off!!! ( i was wearing headphones, though)"

ahaha.. good times... he was obviously pissed off about me not giving him some attention

good stuff...

I can't remember. It might have actualy been Heaven In Flames. Maybe it was just the guitar tone, as I've seen live footage which doesn't sound anything like Ulver. Out of interest, was Ji the first USBM band (not counting VON)

DEMONCY 1988
Bathym 1989
Crucifier 1990
Infant Sacrifice 1990

Going by what we would call BM today, would Black Witchery be the earliest?

Indeed, not so good at all.
I reccomend you to check out the new Aeon, pretty damn solid album.

N.P:Drudkh-Estrangement

New Drudkh is awesome!! Woot! Good thing since the ep was kind of a letdown for me.

Azrael · **Posted:** Sun Sep 02, 2007 1:05 pm

just finished: Dark Angel - Time Does Not Heal

it was only my first listen, but frankly it sounds much cooler than Darkness Descends.

How does it compare to previous full-lengthers?

Well it reminds me more of the old stuff like Forgotten Legends and SOngs of Grief and Solitude...
But you still can find traces of Blood in our Wells here and there.
