Metal Reviews

I meant punk/hardcore, to name a few scandinavian ones: Anti-Cimex, Mob 47, Totalitär, etc.

Why many claim it to be so good? It's a careless, dirty, dishevelled album that still manages to stay integral and precise. The ideas are harmonically shown irrelative of superficial tendencies and outside any time interrelationship, i.e. for all time.

And I'm sorry if this won't make any sense at all, English isn't my native language and I tried my best to say everything the same way I would've said it in Russian. I'm sorry, if I failed.

I understood you perfectly, thanks. On Scum it starts out great but when it goes crazy, it just sounds bad-if you know what I mean. Not crazy, bad. I'll give this a few moree spins before I pass true verdict, of course.

With that album, I was kinda disappointed when I first got it. It's really sloppy, for a start. I think I just kidded myself that it was great because of it's status, y'know? I though I ought to like it.

But now I find myself putting it on just for enjoyment and genuinely liking it. Some of the inadequacy of the playing gives it a really chaotic, edgy feel. When I turn it up and play it straight through, I just try and absorb the sound of it instead of thinking about how the songs are structured and how it fits together. There's a real rage-filled entropy there that's charming. It's like a marsh of fuzzy noise from which the occasional killer riff emerges. (Siege of Power, for example).

Roadrunner United - Independant (Voice of the voiceless)

Dark fuckin' throne - Kathaarian Life Code.

You should really try this, Cal Dogg.

is it similar to the song i posted?

Yes. You'll love it. Leave out the 'Fuckin' when looking for it, though.

which album is it off?

A Blaze In The Northern Sky.

doesn't matter, I found it.

listening to it now. i'll post my opinion when its done, since it goes for 9 mins.

Keep in mind that it's a song written for me.

Dude, that song fuckin ROCKS. Too bad i only streamed it. Ive gotta find a site where i can download it.

You'll love the album. Worth looking into!

And there are quite a few 'help me into black metal' threads around. Have a dig...

Orphaned Land-Mabool
Damn this is good but way too fucking long...
Up Next Grave-Into The Grave and Cryptopsy-Blasphemy made Flesh
Can't make it more than an hour without death metal nowdays...

Beherit - Drawing Down The Moon

Napalm Death-Scum

I kinda like this now, on the nth listen. The production (drums to high, vocals to low rtc.) kinda ruins it, but I'm just lying back and absorbing the chaos, therefore getting into it more. Might pick up the 2nd album, whateverit'scalled-you know the one.

Darkane - Godforsaken Universe

actually playing the whole Layers of Lie album.

Behemoth - Thelma.6

black metal isn't really appropriate listening for doing food shopping, I put on Against the Seasons and it just made me scowl at everyone in the store.. perhaps I'd have killed someone if I'd chosen something heavier.

np: kayo dot blah blah blah
next: Bekhira - l'Elu du Mal! Thanks to EisenFaust!
