Recent find but this song blows me away. The drumming is punk, the vocals are riot grrrl-ish but the riffs are basically straight BM. Wish I could find more punk/black stuff like this, usually it's all crust which has so far been uninteresting to me: FWIW most of the rest of their material...

This is a pretty awesome genre, it's so far removed from what I'm used to and of any music I listen to it stands up by far the best to repeated listens since it's so beat driven. Only thing I can think of that compares to it in terms of re-listenability is Gorguts - Obscura pretty much. It...

I know Watain gets shit on a lot but I really like the riffs they use on this album (it's also present on some of their other albums but not pulled off quite as well IMO). I want to say it's kind of punk-y? I'm having trouble putting my finger on what it is exactly but I think it's often a...

This is a recent jewel I found... (with a kickass cover - just bought this on vinyl): Not into the vocals (though they definitely do add a "sickly" element to the very bleak atmosphere) but everything else is fucking magical. Definitely my best find in at least 6 months.

Killer unsigned band I came across recently:

Also chw

Don't know how no one's mentioned Emperor yet. Check out their first two. And +1 to Pure Holocaust, though you may find later Immortal easier to get into. Pure Holocaust is their best though by far. Speaking of Darkthrone though, they're one band that's never really clicked with me except for...

6.5/10

If you own a scratch-free copy of the CD, please PM me. I need this album.

Also - more stoner rock than anything else but some of their stuff is pretty doomy...:

Ok so I think "Cold Steel..." is definitely my favorite D666 album now. Had been Wolves (which is still fantastic) but Cold Steel is just a punch in the face from the get go till the end. Only negative is the production isn't as solid as Wolves'.

I'm still partial to Unchain the Wolves... but yeah definitely gives it a run for its money. BM is so fucking beautiful. I'm just glad I'm alive when tremolo picking distorted guitar exists.

Most thrash doesn't appeal to me (other than D666) but I really dig this: Can anyone point me to stuff in a similar vein?

Emperor - IX Equilibrium. I actually like this album, but the overproduced sound alone separated it from its forbears. Not on the same plane basically. When I listen to Anthems I'm on another planet.
