Just a really great record. I like everything from Mouth of The Architect. Do you like The Ocean? |
| ________________________________ [Oct 29,2008 10:41pm - Murph ""] Yes I sure do. If you like The Ocean, definitely grab Callisto - Noir. AMAZING. |
| ______________________________ [Oct 30,2008 8:00am - Yeti ""] Conservationist said:Yeah, I know. It's painful to watch. People have forgotten about MUSIC QUALITY in their desperate bid for BAND EQUALITY, or having us all know their two-chord two-CD-R black metal "project." They are so afraid of Kings -- big bands that everyone knows -- that they've ensured that no one is gonna rise above the level of being equal and having their own equally obscure, equally novel, flutes, etc. black metal band. blackmetal.co.uk is the epicenter of this attitude, since it's on Brokeback Island where they really go nuts for the idea that everyone must participate. It is painful to watch. The average "tr00 kvlt" black metal now is basically Blink 182 on shitty production settings in GarageBand with necro symbols and "outrageous statements" cluttered around it, and it generally sucks. I've really pissed some people off with this statement: "Well, if it's that obscure, it must suck," because they forget that Darkthrone, et al, never wanted to be obscure but were obscure because their music scared normal people at the time. Nu-black metal will scare no one. Murph, I'm searching out of the MotA - Quietly now. Thanks for the tip. seriously. and if you cite Darkthrone or Emperor as an influence, you are slapped with a tr00 kvlt injunction to cease and desist all activities not associated with unpronounceable "we record on a Playskool My First Tape Recorder" Moribund Records bands. not that i have anything against Moribund, but really folks, shitty production isn't innovation when done for scene points. |
| __________________________________________ [Oct 30,2008 10:07am - Conservationist ""] If you cite anything with musical standards, the tr00 kvlt crowd hates you because that means their shitty bedroom black metal is now sub-par. The epicenters of this: http://www.fmp666.com/ http://www.blackmetal.co.uk/ Faux racism, incoherent blasphemy and teenage angst are still hip in such places. |

Most of them are just keyboard warriors. Ignore ‘em. I can only take the “holier than thou” attitude so much. |

Are you talking about the dolts who are soooooo TRVE that they have never had a girlfriend or the ones who brag about purchasing $900 Italian loafers to pair with their ratty Draugar t-shirts? |

Backed 100% Fuck the scenester douches. Fuck anything that has come out in the last 10years and sounds like it was recorded in a basement on a 1980's boombox with a built in mic. |

NONG DONG BONG MUNG NONG BONG QOUC GUNG SAI GUK NONG DONG Translation: MISANTHROPIC GOOK BEDROOM METAL THAT YOU CAN'T LISTEN TO BECAUSE NEENER-NEENER-NEENER! I DON'T LIEK YUO! |
| _______________________________ [Oct 30,2008 10:30am - Yeti ""] see i love shitty lo-fi recording, but it has to be done right. like Ulver's Nattens Madrigal. otherwise, eat shit. |
| _______________________________ [Oct 30,2008 10:42am - Yeti ""] from the metal-archives write up on Vothana: "Lord Nebulah is a true eliteist and destroys any extra copies of his material once he see on the net.In some cases he has bought his own material off the net cause he believes its not for everyone" that is one of the gayest things i've ever heard. i hope he eats his extra copies and chokes to death on them. |
| ________________________________ [Oct 30,2008 11:03am - aril ""] I can tolerate bands with real shitty recording no problem. What I can't tolerate, are bands that do that for the scene points. If the music is good, then that's all that matters. But most of the time, the music sucks. There's a huge myspace-bedroom-black metal scene now. It's fucking pathetic. I've recorded in my room before, and could at least get it to sound somewhat decent. And yea, "-", about FMP, that place is still interesting, only because of the Italian loafer guys, the 15 year old true kids, the douche-bag virgins, the psuedo-nazis, and the elite pricks. It's one giant mixture of black metal's finest. I must say though, there is some really cool people on that board.. but not as much as you'd like. And, they make fun of Infoterror still to this day. |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 30,2008 11:08am - darkwor ""] Horna is lo-fi recording done fucking right |
| _______________________________________ [Oct 30,2008 12:01pm - goatcatalyst ""] Ugh. I hate black metal. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 11,2008 11:53am - goatcatalyst ""] ok, i like black metal again. Old Wainds gots some stiff competition for that coveted numero uno spot. I can't fucking stop listening to this. Nightbringer "Death and the Black Work" (vinyl version - 2 extra tracks / 20+ minutes of extra music) [img] http://www.rapidspread.com/file.jsp?id=gfrwwze4fq |

| ___________________________________________ [Nov 11,2008 2:04pm - mikeofdecrepitude ""] Can't forget Harvey Milk's Life... The Best Game in Town, which was also a solid 2008 release. |
