It is a must listen/buy.

Make sure you grab the Black Seed EP, preferably the remastered one with the demo as bonus tracks. It's just as good and shows a bit of a different direction to Totem. It's a shame they haven't released more music.

I'm not sure which band you're talking about actually.

Alter · April 14th, 2008, 08:41 PM

Grimfaug-Defloration of Life's Essence is fucking badass!!!!!!!!!

Mathiäs · April 14th, 2008, 08:45 PM

I have that. I thought it was pretty good.

V.V.V.V.V. · April 14th, 2008, 08:45 PM

Grimlair's Locked Up And Forgotten is half average-to-good/half amazing French BM sounding like early Mütiilation crossed with a healthy dose of Burzum and some shoegaze. Great!

Mathiäs · April 14th, 2008, 08:45 PM

Fucking yes! Grimlair rule.

btw i posted a message in your shoutbox imo

I find it one of the best recent second wave bands. Much better than Behexen or Sargeist for this style. I happen to have it on cassette so I get an extra kvlt hiss to go with it.

Ugh! More shozegaze based metal bands? I hated Alcest and the new Jesu material has been very sub-par. Could you go a bit deeper into the details of this band?

V.V.V.V.V. · April 14th, 2008, 08:53 PM

It's not a "shoegaze-based band", they just happen to have some dreamy sounding moments.

Alter · April 14th, 2008, 08:59 PM

Okay, I will try them out soon than.

Also, I will take this time also to say the song "Inverse Devotion" by Vrolok is a very interesting take of how dreamy, dark and ambient-ish black metal should be preformed. Can anyone tell me more about Vrolok, as I only own the split with Emit.

V.V.V.V.V. · April 14th, 2008, 10:00 PM

FUCK...new Arckanum EP is out via Debemur Morti Productions, located in France. I assume this will be hella expensive, it's about 11 bucks USD not including shipping...awaiting a postage calculation but I don't think it'll be pretty. I still want it a ton. Red/black swirl ftw. Features a new song from his new upcoming album and a cover (Holy Moses "Current of Death"):

George · April 15th, 2008, 05:44 AM

I was also interested in getting that EP, but I read that the new track is an unmastered version. I think I can hold out until the full-length gets released. This is, of course, if no US distros get any copies.

V.V.V.V.V. · April 15th, 2008, 06:06 AM

Nah, they won't be I don't think. I am pretty sure Debemur Morti is the "exclusive" seller of this.

I am really falling in love with Judas Iscariot. I didn't expect to like the band at this level. His music is not that brutal at the same time evil.

cookiecutter · April 15th, 2008, 02:47 PM

I've always found Judas Iscariot to be the epitome of meh

Heaven In Flames is very, very good album. I don't see how people don't like it.

Agreed.

Lord Kur · April 15th, 2008, 05:00 PM

i personally like judas iscariot. one of my most played bands recently. his music is interesting, raw and evil. i love his somber mellow tracks the best. i recommend pretty much anything you can find by him. except maybe that unreleased full length because it kinda sounds like shit.

Koude Haat · April 15th, 2008, 05:40 PM

Judas Iscariot is boring..

vrolok is amazing. i love every single release.

check out Resurgence I: decent through the abyss

then get:

resurgence II: where the dying meet the dead
resurgence III: order of the sphere
soul amputation
void (the divine abortion)

soul amputation is the weirdest one and digs the deepest into psychadelia. i swear ever single thing vrolok has released i have loved. it's all just fascinating. highly goddamned recommended band.

Alter · April 15th, 2008, 06:03 PM

I might need you to upload some stuff if I can not find any.

Lord Kur · April 15th, 2008, 06:08 PM

i can pm you a blogspot that has some to check out. i won't if you dont want me to.

you gotta listen to vrolok with headphones and loud. really a trip

Alter · April 15th, 2008, 06:10 PM

Yes, but off the forum. Don't send it here. I prefer to buy the record so give me the link now and a URL where to buy the records.

Zephyrus · April 15th, 2008, 07:13 PM

I've decided that In Abhorrence Dementia is Limbonic Art's best work. For a while I favored Ad Noctum but I've come to realize that IAD is just as powerful (with good headphones) and a hell of a lot more symphonic.
