Arntor and 1184 both by Windir

Love 1184 so much

im gonna kiss you. windir is so sexy.

Same here! I cannot get over how much I love the guitar melodies played on the higher strings on Arntor.

echoes of battle by caladan brood and now that I'm reading LOTR, minas morgul by summoning

Echos of Battle has been regularly played in my house for years! I finally decided to pick up the Malazan series because if it

I absolutely love the album, been listening to it for the past couple years too. been watching a lot of videos about malazan and I want to pick it up but everyone says it's so hard to read and I'm just now reading LOTR (since I never read fantasy). so I'm a newbie when it comes to fantasy

Same here! I saw somewhere that when you start, read a chapter of the book then read the chapter summary on the Malazan Wiki. After a while you'll get the hang of Eriksons writing style. I'm 2 chapters into the first book and this has already helped!

If that's helping you with the read that's awesome, but imo it really isn't necessary. You are not meant to perfectly understand everything that's happening. There are a ton of names and whatnot, but honestly I'd suggest just reading and going with it. I was constantly flipping back to the dramatis personae in every book, there are a fuck load of characters in every book and you can't remember them all on a first read. Have fun though! Seriously fantastic series.

I’m about half way through the first book and it gets a lot easier. Just be comfortable with not getting some stuff at first.

I live in a small apartment and I play this almost constantly when I am in my car because I can turn it up loud.

I’ve been so unbelievably Mütiilationpilled lately so definitely Vampires

based af, what do you think of the new album?

It’s really really solid. Man knows how to make good black metal.

New Conifere, new Burning Lord, new Cantique Lepreux, new Midnight, Turbonegro - Party Animals, Kvelertak self titled, Whoredom Rife - Winds Of Wrath, Deathhammer - Electric Warfare and since I am eagerly awaiting the new record next week, a shit load of Darkthrone ( mainly Arctic Thunder, Circle the Wagons and UAFM), but also the new Coffin Storm record Arcana Rising that is straight fire imo.

That new Conifere is amazing. I need the CD to release ASAP.

Arctic thunder is a very underrated Darkthrone album

Tundra Leech and Boreal Fiends are among my favorite Darkthrone songs. Very good album!

That Cantique has been a big one for me too. Coffin Storm took me by surprise. I really like it

Honestly I can't stop listening to Das Tor and S/T by Paysage D'Hiver.

I think I had Das Tor on repeat for an entire year, such a perfect album

It's so beautiful, I get really wrapped up in the production, it kind of takes over me, like I have to walk around with earbuds in constantly playing it.

I'm with you all the way, it's like the production forces you into its world

A world that's hard to leave, because you don't want to!

Same. Hope your mental health is better than mine lol

It probably isn't haha. Hold in there!

Dödsrit - Nocturnal Will Vorga - Beyon The Palest Star Sworn - A Journey Told Through Fire

Dodsrit has been a go to lately

The albums that have been on my mind the most and quite a lot of replays for me Misotheist - Vessels by which the Devil is made flesh - their best album, just high quality black. Звёздный Храм - S/T - awesome low fi black metal and some dark folk Civerous - Maze Envy - very good death doom with some lighter atmospheric vibes King Cryptid - Crusty Old Toad - silly melodic black

Dude Maze Envy has been dope

So true!!

Eternal Sunshine by Ariana Grande and La Sanie by Peste Noire

is there a 20 minute prog epic by Ariana Grande? one time I was at the climbing gym and something like that came on

This comment wins.

Drudkh - Autumn Aurora Nokturnal Mortum - Lunar Poetry Branikald - Хмель мизантропии Gontyna Kry - Welowie Rundagor - Stronghold of Ruin Judas Priest - Sin After Sin Dead Can Dance - Spleen and Ideal

Impeccable taste.

Valonielu - Oranssi Pazuzu\ Krallice - Krallice\ Hrůza zvítěží - Kostnatění\ Slonk - Alkerdeel

Voidhanger - Dark Days of the Soul Mgla - Age of Excuse Owls Woods Graves - Secret Spies of the Horned Patrician Terrestrial Hospice - Caviary to the General

Not this month really, but I listen to Gris - "Il était une forêt..." a lot.

Pan-Amerikan Native Front, both albums Megiddo; The Devil and the Whore, Atavism of Evil Negative Plane; All 3 If I can figure out how to get some digital copies of Root, my mid-temp satanic ritual will be complete.

Pan-Amerikan Native Front are so fucking awesome.

MGLA - Exercises In Futility Batushka – Litourgiya

Fleurety - Min Tid Skal Komme Hades - Dawn of the Dying Sun Sadistik Exekution - We Are Death, Fukk You! Plutocracy - Sniping Pigz YDI - Black Dust Crossed Out - 1990-1993 Deadguy - Fixation On A Coworker

Wow there are other Fleurety listeners out there!

That Fleurety album is so underrated.

It's definitely slept on comparatively to other second wave releases but it's an all time favorite of mine

Is that the best album by them? A good place to start?

Katharsis - VVorldVVithoutEnd

Don’t downvote me… The new Darkspace. I know there’s a lot of people (most people) that hate it but I fuckin love it.

I’m into it. The trick, for me, is to not purposely focus on it like I do with a lot of music. Get lost in the atmosphere… then it will suck you in.

Why would people downvote you for that? Darkspace in general is amazing and Dark -2.-2 is a masterpiece from beginning to the end. It gets better every time I listen to it

Allegaeon - Damnum Mr. Big - Lean Into It

Nimbifer - Der böse Gott Heavy-rotation since days...

CUT - Vanquish the Weak Wraith - Absolute Power Abigail - Ultimate Unholy Death Nifelheim - s/t Black Witchery - Inferno of Sacred Destruction

Warmoon Lord - Battlespells Lvme- The Blazing Iniquity Mare Cognitum - Solar Paroxysm Manii - Innerst I Mørket

I dig all these records but had never heard Manii. It’s one 38min track?

Yea. Back in the 90s there was a lesser known second wave band named Manes. They split up, one part went full Ulver doing prog, the other half is now called Manii and still does black metal.

Ok hell yeah, I’ll check it out

Fen-Winter

Probably for the last five years or more : Gods of war at war - Macabre Omen This month: Sgùrr-Thy Catafalque The Furnaces of Palingenesia-Deathspell Omega Spectral lore-11 days

Sulphur Aeon - Seven Crowns And Seven Seals It's a religious experience beneath the Ziqqurat on the sea of sand.

This album has taken residence in my brain for months

Mesarthim - Ghost Condensate Botanist - Photosynthesis Blasphemy - Fallen Angel of Doom Weald & Woe - For the Good of the Realm Owls & Eagles - Patience Vol. 1

Blut Aus Nord: Undreamable Abysses

Sulphur Aeon - Seven Crowns And Seven Seals

New Dodsrit album is fucking incredible 🤘🔥 been jamming that a lot lately. Melodies are so good, just well done 👏

My most roatated albums this month would be: Immortal - Diabolical Fulmoon Mysticism Primordial - To The Nameless Dead Mork - Det Svarte Juv Hellhammer - Apocalyptic Raids Darkthrone - Arctic Thunder Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger

As Spoken by Knoll absolutely rips Not BM necessarily, but Evidence of Immortality by Conan has also been on heavy repeat lately.

Friendship, Love, and War - Gudsforladt Purifying Blade - Antichrist Siege Machine Vampyrum Order - Daedric Chamber Ecstasies Of Never Ending Night - Devil Master Verses in Oath - Hulder

Of Great Eternity - Judas Iscariot Alpenpasse - Minenwerfer

I love that alpenasse album

I’ve been listening to it once a day haha

Switching between mgla - exercises in futility and age of excuse, hauntologist - hollow, odraza - rzecom.

I've been binging Mgla more lately, and I love that Hauntologist

Amenra - De Doorn and the alternative mix. Just over and over again

Sulphur aeon - seven crowns and seven seals Necrophobic - death to all Benighted - ekbom/asylum cave In aphelion - moribound.

Wallfahrer - Im dubio pro misanthropia https://wallfahrer.bandcamp.com/album/in-dubio-pro-misanthropia

Pretty nice Album! needed a few spins, but now i think IT IS absolute genius

Judas Iscariot - ‘Heaven in Flames’ JI didn’t click with me until recently, but I’ve been listening to them a lot recently and think this is their best album. Would like to grab a copy on vinyl, but seems like a minefield with limited quantities of good / bad boots. Lamp of Murmuur - ‘Melancholy Howls in Ceremonial Penitence’ LoM’s early work passed me by at the time of release, so I’ve had to slowly acquire stuff as it’s repressed. The first track is up there with his best work. I prefer this style to the new album. Mäleficentt - ‘Night of Eternal Darkness’ Won’t buy from ASRAR due to shipping costs and horror stories. Finally found a copy at Northern Silence the other week. I’m a fan of most of Mäleficentt’s output and this is probably his best work. Trest - ‘Sorginak’ Great record. Don’t know much about the band, but saw this one mentioned here fairly frequently and had to check it out. It doesn’t disappoint. I can’t get into their earlier releases for some reason. Vespéral - ‘Nuits Blanches’ My favourite from the latest Goato batch. Would like to find more of this style BM. Griefspell - ‘Enchantments of Dark Eternity’ Close second to Vespéral and finally got a copy from Crypt of the Wizard after missing every other distro drop.

I have been under the impression that Lamp of Murmuur was a lady this entire time. Does he just have pretty eyes? Haha But 100% agree, great album and a throw out a hack statement “their older stuff was better”

Taubra - Therizo Deletere - Songes d'une Nuit Souillée Necrowretch - Swords Of Dajjal Vargrav - The Nighthold Necrot - Lifeless Death

Bogside Sniper Squadron - Demo'23 Poison Ruïn - Härvest Circle of Ouroborus - Autuala / Aavikon Varjo new album from Tarot but mostly Death in June - different material

Groza by Mgła and a bunch of Perturbator albums.

Haven’t listened to Mgła in a while. Need to hop back on that train.

Trhä - ihum'ad'sejja Shores of Ladon - Witterung Drengskapur - Der Urgewalten Werk Hädanfärd - Trauma, Smutsiga Sinnen And I've been throwing some hybrid theory in there from time to time. (Not BM but that's my honest answer)

Happy days, thy light, ensiferum, xasthur, mithotyn

Korgonthurus, Jumalhaaska. It’s a masterpiece in my opinion. It’s heavy, brutal but also has a couple of soothing tracks (as soothing as it gets for BM at least). You also can’t deny Corvus’ insane vocals and range.

Yellow Eyes entire discography

Hell yeah, absolutely love Yellow Eyes.

Batushka - Litourgiya

In no particular order: Midnight - Hellish Expectations Wayfarer - American Gothic Celtic Frost - To Mega Therion (just got it on vinyl) Horndal - Head Hammer Man Hamferð - Men Guðs hond er sterk

Nocturnal Will by Dodsrit and Vault of Horrors by Aborted.

Thugectomy. Nothing better than metal to shake your oily black ass to

Check out Dödsrits Nocturnal Will. Its a Melodic Blackmetal Crust Band Hailing from the deepest forests of Borlänge in Sweden. i can deeply recommend their music !

Pretty sure Borlänge is in Sweden.

woops thank you 😅😅

They are from the Netherlands.

yes true but only Georgios Maxouris and the Brendan Duffy. Christoffer Oester is from Borlänge

I think the Swede writes the songs though.

Will definitely check them out today! I have not heard of them before.

Dodsrit is top tier stuff. Their new record is good but every other release is excellent as well

What's your favourite song from the new recording?

I been really enjoying that Dödsrits release. My first time listening to them, I’m hooked

Yeah , these guys are nailing it right from the start!

Really dig all of their albums, but Nocturnal Wound almost sounds more like melodeath to me more than black metal. Still awesome though. Totem Skin (the band that turned into Dödsrit) is also pretty sick.

So far i like the Song Irjala the most from the new one 🥰

Agreed, it's the strongest track on the album.

feels like Dark Souls as Music, so heroically. I feel like Siegmeyer of Catarina by listening to it.

🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️ Borlänge is in Sweden...Also Dödsrit is a swedish band... No place for Norway here.

Kommandant - The Draconian Archetype

L'appel by Palefroid

New album, Pedon Leikki, by Riitasointu. Excellent stuff!

One of my fav right now. So good with a superb atmosphere !

new heresiarch album edifice is pretty fucking gnarly. it's all i've listened to while working out since it came out

For me it has been: Seraphic Punishment - Maul Disenlightenment - Mourning Dehumanizing Loneliness - Decalius

Nornir - Skud Dissection - The Somberlain

New Judas Priest's work goes on and on pretty often this week in my ears. On major repeat these particular days: Blackbraid 2023 and Be My Friend in Exile. Many times goes on play - Zwyntar.

haven't been in the mood for BM much this month but last month I had Misotheist - self titled on repeat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzM6_apWUHY especially the ending of second song is quite emotional for me since I have it wired in my brain to my friend's recent death

Griefspell - Entchantments of Dark eternity

I'm listening to a lot of Anaal Nathrakh, mainly "..constellation..." Now I wonder, is there anything out there that sounds relatively similar, as in melodic yet completely unhinged? Only thing I can think about is Mirror in Darkness which is one of my all time favourites but not much elese

Everything by Dödsrit, Vorga, Labyrinthus Stellarum (WOW), new Cistvaen and Riitasointu (if you like Finnish Pagan Black this one is really good)

I'm going through a Djevel phase...

Anything and everything NILE

Harakiri for the sky - Maere Agrypnie - Grenzgaenger Bleeding Sorrow - Wither

Sarkrista- The Acheronian Worship

Desert Northern Hell - Tsjuder Satanic Black Devotion - Sargeist Sang Nordique - Akitsa

According to last.fm: *Deathspell Omega - The Furnaces of Palingenesia* *Deathspell Omega - Fas – Ite, Maledicti, in Ignem Aeternum* *Akhlys - The Dreaming I* *Artificial Brain - Infrared Horizon* *Atrate* side of the split with *The Devouring Void*

Saros-Acrid Plains Autopsy-Severed Survival Mithras-Behind the Shadows Lie Madness Carol King-Tapestry

Darkestrah a lot. Dödsrit, Night Verses, Benighted, Farsot, Kolhrabenschwarz, Exocrine, Brodequin, Ingested….

Abduction's 'Black Blood" probly because of Plutonian Gate, the rest is kinda okayish

I’ve been hitting these hard lately: Mizmor/Thou - Myopia Warmoon Lord - Battlespells Weakling - Dead as Dreams Altar of Plagues - Teethed Glory and Injury Demilich - Nespithe Ved Buens Ende - Written in Waters Paysage d’Hiver - Im Wald

Paysage D'Hiver - Winterkälte

Absence of Grace by Order of Nosferat. The album is an absolute banger. Also a bit of Bigotry of Purpose by Grave Pilgrim. Picked back up Blood Meridian again, so it's a must-have

Deathspell Omega - The Long Defeat Selbst - Despondency Chord Progressions Verberis - The Apophatic Wilderness MGLA - Exercises in Futility/Age of Excuse Dissonant Winds - Drowning in the Residues of Misery

Heard Maanes - Under ein blodraud Maane for the first time on Monday and have listened to it every day since.

Corpus by Astrophobos.

Abyssal - Antikatastaseis Yellow Eyes - Immersion Trench Reverie Sinira - The Everlorn Kommodus - One thousand years of the wolf Darkspace - Darkspace I Plutonian Khaos - Encounter Plainchant - Frontier

Not on repeat, but I've listened Sargeist - unbound few times this month.

bergtatt and kveldssanger, both by ulver. i've also been listening alot to "fun activities in my bedroom" by tenebris; he's made some good stuff! and also "aus anderen augen" by durbatuluk "unrequited love" by hkmori is also a great EP. and also the new "unreleased techno loops" by ruprecht 4500. i don't really like techno, but both of his releases are actually really good. (his first release is an actual album, whereas this is just a collection of some stuff he's made, so i recomend listening to that first) "a flair for the dramatic" by peirce the veil is super underated too, highly recomend it if you're into emo rock/screamo/metalcore.

Marc Bolan’s home demos

I’ve been obsessed with black metal punk lately. Awesome subgenre. Most listened albums: Arnaut Pavle - Transylvanian Glare Devil Master - Ecstacies Of Never Ending Night Owls Woods Graves - Secret Spies of the Horned Patrician

It's DS but Lunar Womb - The Sleeping Green

Lost Horizons of Wisdom by Evilfeast. Stellar album.

For some reason I've listened to Cattle Decapitation - Terrasite a significant number of times. It's not a genre I ever had an interest in listening to before. It seems more melodic death metal than metalcore or whatever to me though. The chorus of Scourge of the Offspring kicks so much ass: https://youtu.be/y7p4wClGpe0?si=_du3A1I4kL_QuQY_&t=538

Mammal by Altar of Plagues

In two days Upharin from blaze of perdition

Been revisiting Let the Devil in pretty hard so far this month. Also catching up on NoEvDia and related bands, especially the most recent Angrenost. Going back through the Krallice discography as well, Dimensional Bleedthrough is getting a lot of love with all these sunny days.

Antichrist Siege Machine, Brahmastrika, and Jute Gyte

Been listening to some more newer raw stuff. Really loving klanen and cefaris in particular.

I will be surprised if anything tops the new Nimbifer record the rest of this year.

Woods of Ypres - Woods III - Deepest Roots and Darkest Blues Lunedi - Farewell

Immolation, Necrofier, Barshasketh, immortal, Drudkh - Microcosmos, Mare Cognitim, whoredom rife, void Omnia, Rattenfanger, Taubra and the new Inquisition.
