Post subject:  What should I get?

There's an awful lot of bands there that I'm not familiar with, but I can guarantee that Trollfest are great.

There's a lot of those bands that I don't know beyond their names. But Wyrd - Rota is a treat that no one should miss.

Could you give me some well-known bands similar to those?

Yes, I admit, I am a noob.

Post subject:  Re: What should I get?

Try:

1. Wyrd - Vargtimmen Part II
2. Nocternity - Onyx
3. Wyrd - Rota
4. Bilskirnir - In Flames of Purification
5. Kawir - Arai
And a bonus one 8) :
6. Nattvindes Gråt - A Bard's Tale (this is hardly BM, but still worth checking out)

You can also try:

Argar - Grim March to Black Eternity;
Forefather - Legends Untold;
Kawir - Epoptia;
Nocternity - En Oria + Crucify Him
Nocternity - A Fallen Unicorn;
Wyrd - Wrath & Revenge;

Don't try:
Azure, Noctivagus, Azaghal/Beheaded Lamb split, Gorbalrog, Geїst (the last one is good, but it's BM you won't like, I suppose)

Don't know about the rest. Hope that helped you somehow.

Wyrd = good.
Azure are rubbish, don't bother.

Well, it's allready said here, but Nocternity & Wyrd are definately worth checking out.

Concerning Wyrd - Rota

I can't come up with an especially accurate comparison. But I can tell you that it's high quality folk-black. Some of the clean vocals takes a couple of spins to 'get used to' (at least for me) but it is still a solid record. It isn't an especially 'hard' listen (which may add or detract depending on your preferences). Even my power metal-loving girlfriend likes it.

you cannot go wrong with the nocternity, wyrd or forefather cds :)

Great reommendations there, take heed.

I have the Hellbound/Amestigon split, and I think it's very good.

I think Horna are pretty good, but I'm not familiar with that album.

Author:  Lord Jotun [ Thu Jan 12, 2006 3:18 pm ]
Post subject: 

It's a great one, but the first two are better.

I ordered:

Wyrd - Rota
Trollfest - Wilkommen Folk
Nocternity - Onyx
Bilskirnir - In Flames of Purification

Thanks all.

You can also try some Tom Waits(maybe you'll like Bone Machine) although it's not in your list!
