I can see how. I own Xasthur/Leviathan and Tent Sublevel... and both have really long songs and extended nonmetal parts. I like it but I can see how others don't.

The albums are all too long, and usually aren't put together in a listenable way. The result is that I'll either pick out Xasthur tracks or listen to the first half of an album. The splits are more successful because they feel so much more like a whole rather than "here are some songs I wrote between date x and y".

I agree with this. I recently listened to Subliminal Genocide in a darkened room and it was awesome for the first few songs, but it began to drag towards the end of the album.

Also for good, nonstandard sounding USBM check out Nachtmystium - Instinct: Decay. It's my top album of 2006.

I haven't heard Averse Sefira, I just know they got signed to Candlelight.

I really only like Leviathan's The Tenth Sub Level Of Suicide, the rest is kind of meh. Similarly, the only AMAZING Xasthur album is Nocturnal Poisoning...The Funeral Of Being is good also (and I have it on gatefold double vinyl

), but just not spectacular.

I haven't got any Xasthur or Leviathan albums yet, I've just a heard a few tracks from Sirius radio, fan MySpace, and samples. But I'll eventually order some Xasthur.

Get their split together. In my opinion some of their best work.

Mort Divine · January 6th, 2007, 10:29 AM

For any doubters of USBM check out Ludicra, Fex Urbis Lex Orbis is fantastic and one of the better BM releases of last year.

Cool, I'll consider it, I'm going to get a couple CD's in the spring along with me buying an Emperor In The Nightside Eclipse shirt.

Ludicra is actualy realy good. I recommend it to anyone

French Black Metal always seems to be more misanthropic, dark, and in general fucking evil... but they don't do it in the "I'm a rebellious teenager, look at me way

", they do it in a way that's cold and collective and intellectual. Of course this is generalizing a bit, but a majority of it is like that.

Necromantia, Varathron, Nocternity,Rotting Christ and Macabre Omen are all great and Septic Flesh are very good. I did emphasize QUALITY. And it's just an opinion. So if you diasagree then just don'r give a fuck about it

I don't think Septic Flesh is black metal at all...are they? ...but then again, I haven't heard much from them.

I'm tempted to buy Gorgoroth's "Pentragram", but I fucking HATE the vocals. Other than that, they're decent.

MalignParadigm · January 6th, 2007, 08:20 PM

Buy it, it'll be one of the finest purchases within black metal you'll ever make.
