Burzum- Belus

I am convinced this is the best Burzum album ever.

Astrophobos - 'Tabula Rasa' from Enthroned in Flesh EP (2016)

One of the best and closest attempts at capturing the magic of the mid to late 90's Swedish Black Metal scene. Brought back lots of fond memories of that time especially Setherial, Lord Belial, Necrophobic and even some Dissection... fans of that sound won't be disappointed, it's a great EP.

Including the classic ones?

(2003) Blut Aus Nord - The Work Which Transforms God on my way to work.

Not perfect but...

Living Colour - Shade

I didn't have any expectations, but over halfway through, I am definitely having a good time with this one. Nice and varied.

I love Belus, but some stuff on Fallen is even better. "Catchy Burzum"? Then started a real downhill. Umskiptar (or how do you spell that...) is the most boring album I've heard from him.

Uh, i'm in Burzum mood too, it must be the weather

Carpathian Forest - The Pale Mist Hovers Towards the Nightly shores

Verbose title, kickass riffing. The idea of adding those brief horror movie keyboards was brilliant!

Soundgarden - Black Saturday

Rip Chris Cornell

Humanity's Last Breath, 2013 self-titled album

Outstanding, overwhelming and powerful album, I love it.

Ok, "catchy Burzum".
Must check the latests albums.

(2013) Queens of the Stone Age - ...Like Clockwork on my way back from work.

Cool guitar playing.

Dark Empire-The Alchemist
I love Jens Carlsson.

Duskfall - Dying wonders of the World. Fuckin great melodic death. RIP Oscar Karlsson.

Wędrujący Wiatr - Tam, Gdzie Miesiąc Opłakuje Świt

Well summer is basically over so I too am starting to get into the mood for some gloomy autumnal stuff.

Symphony X - Iconoclast

Huh. This rules!

Damn straight it does. VICTORY OR DEATH!!

This is also... war.

Dark Forest - Like Towers They Reach to the Sky

Havent listened to this since it came out in 2012, so now I felt like it could have a new spin.

Solid stuff!

Desolate Shrine - The Heart of the Netherworld

Noticed they had a new album coming out, so I gave this a listen for the first time in a while. Good shit.

Sarke - Cult Ritual

I thoroughly enjoy all their albums so far.

Yes because the classic ones have those lame extended synth tracks. Fuck that noise. Even Varg said he should have subbed out Undergung or whatever its called for a fast song.


Iron Maiden- Infinite Dreams

Megadeth - Diadems

One of the best Megadeth tracks that never made it to an album of theirs. The second best track on the Demon Knight soundtrack (the best being the Machine Head track).

Amebix - Sonic Mass

'These days will never come again...'

Lots of people like those. Even the "water drop" samples in (1996) Burzum - Filosofem are worth it.

(2007) Queens of the Stone Age - Era Vulgaris on my way to work.
Their weirdest album for sure.

Blue Cheer - Rock Me Baby

Vincebus Eruptum is a crazy album. The 60s were fucking wild, man. This is just nonstop grooving, rolling, rumbling guitar licks and leads - massively heavy for the time. You can hear where a lot of later bands got ideas.

Sunburst - Out of the World

Progressive metal is a real hit or miss genre to me, let alone modern bands but I'm not sure what to make of this so far. Cool Roy Khan influenced vocals though.

Destroying The Devoid - Paramnesia

Best progressive death I've heard in a long time. Nice production too.

Immortal - At the Heart of Winter

Forgot how amazing this was, holy shit.

Fleshkiller - Awaken

Top-notch progressive death metal.

Deathhammer - Total Thrash Assault

Just the way I like my Thrash, killer stuff!
Also gonna see them live again in a few weeks.

The Black Dahlia Murder - Deflorate

Not a fan of the higher-pitched screams, but otherwise pretty enjoyable.

Cool. I am not one of them.


Alice In Chains- Facelift

Accidental Suicide - Deceased

Depending on my mood, this album is either a derivative bore barely worth the $4 I paid for it after fishing it out of a bargain bin, or an absolutely quintessential crusher of a lost classic. Tonight it's the latter.

Cirith Ungol - Paradise Lost

I've already joined the legion, but I can do it again if that's necessary.

Deftones - 'Hole In the Earth'

Desultory - Beneath The Bleeding Sky

A strong final album from these Swedish death metal greats. Haven't heard their previous one but I heard that it was also a return to form from the critically-panned 'Swallow the Snake'.

EXODUS - Bonded By Blood

Same. My favourite Immortal is Sons Of Northern Darkness, but I always forget just how incredible At The Heart of Winter is start-to-finish. I'd love a nice vinyl re-issue.

Threshold - Snowblind

Can't stop playing this one. Just a larger than life, explosive listen - more accessible than usual, but put together immaculately and with care and subtlety.

Myrkur - The Serpent

Gotta say, I'm digging Mareridt so far. Sounds like she's not forcing herself to fit the black metal stereotypes this time around, and what she's come up with is really enjoyable.

Cirith Ungol - Blood & Iron

Catchy and awesome!

Yeah. halfway through the album and I'm pleasantly suprised. Lots of slow, moody songs as well. Crown is basically a Lana Del Rey song! I'm digging it. And you're right. This doesn't sound forced at all.
