I was listening Eucharist's Mirrorworlds yesterday and was thinking where did I hear this before?
Browsing through my CD collection I discovered this long forgotten CD.
Best songs on this mediocre CD are by Dissection, Therion, At the Gates and Eucharist.

Lot of bands on it I never heard from again and probably for a good reason.

Yesterday before I went to sleep I played:

Dimmu Borgir - Death Cult Armageddon: Nice album for listening once every two months, at first it is very good but it grows old very fast. I preffer PEM.

Ulver - Bergtatt: A fuckin' masterpiece.

Nargaroth - Rasluka Pt. II: Excellent EP, the first 3 tracks (although the first is an intro) are amazing and the last one is OK, but very weak compared to the first three.

and again: nagElfar...
pretty good this stuff is...

Lunar Aurora/Paysage D'hiver - Split LP

up next Vordr - I

Amorphis - Tales from the Thousand Lakes

Great music and melodies, but I just hate the clean vocals on this album...

you mean there are two bands, nagelfar and naglfar?

I guess so, though I couldn't access the Nagelfar website...

np : Forensics (stomer/doom indie from Washington DC)

Yes, there are, and to enter the site you just have to click "Weiter". The album "Hünengrab Im Herbst" is very good, exept for the german language use...

I did that, it blocked my pc but i'll try again later... except i'm quite sure I'm not gonna like it... don't you think ?

I'm not so sure, you might actually...
The production has a raw edge, but isn't very brutal, and some parts remind me of Ulver's Bergtatt (get that one, you'll most likely like it). The music is very complex, and not there is a strong folk/doom influence, loads of clean vocals, loads of vairation. I'd like the album for merely the pure bomabastic drums. Did I mention it is more progressive than Opeth yet?

Does this work?

Hetroertzen - A Crimson Terrible Vision
next some Judas Iscariot...
V.

Black Funeral - Empire of Blood
V.

you should put "V." in your sig ;)

Entombed - Left Hand Path

Real death metal classic (IMO) released back in 1990. Production is rather grindy and makes me wanna growl along........

WWAAAARRGGHHH!!!!

now playing Graveworm "N Utopia" (je pense qu'on en reparlera ! :roll: )

Skyforger - Latviesu Strelnieki (Latvian Rifleman);
Kauja pie Saules (The Battle of Saule)

Latvian pagan black. I've said everything. Off listening. And enjoying it over and over again...

Hey Desolate, have you heard Bilskirnir? I think it's one of the best pagan Black Metal bands out there....

Just finnished: Pig Destroyer - Terrifyer

Now playing: Bilskirnir - In Flames of Purification

np
Tristania "ashes"

up next
Graveworm "As the Angels Reach the Beauty"

Well, 90% of time Pagan Black=NSBM. Skyforger and Bilskirnir go under this category.
I have Bilskirnir's In Flames Of Purification and I love it, but I don't think it's the best NSBM scene has to offer
