From Mayhem, Grand Declaration of War and Chimera are good, but you're not a fan of black metal if you don't own De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas.

I hope your next purchase is Dark Fortress - Ylem. You won't hate it.
Laura wrote:So, now that I went to the relatively mellow Opeth gig 2 nights ago (which I enjoyed very much nevertheless), I'm looking forward to another black metal gig 2 weeks from tonight - Mayhem with Hate, Keep of Kalessin, and Abigail Williams at Reggie's. I don't own any albums from any of these bands, so any comments/recommendations? My main draw for the night is Mayhem who were really great at the Hole in the Sky fest in Bergen....even though I hardly know their music it was quite the "spectacle" Hope they use the large upside down Norwegian flags as a backdrop again - looked very cool.
another bad indoor gig pic of mine but at least it shows the flags!
soundcurve wrote:I am with Eric on the Mayhem recommendations. They still really don't appeal to me but "grand declaration of war" was a cool album (think I mentioned in the yonder posts). Keep of Kal I know nothing about. Hate I think you could really really dig since you like behemoth. Their latest "Erebos" is great. They'd be the reason I go. Try these 2 gems.
Lux Aeterna - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdMDn8wqP20 Crank this puppy!
Erebos - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oR6wCD5oG6c - This sound will make you want to kick someone's ass when the bottom end comes ripping in. 55 sec mark, crank it! :)
As for Abigail Williams, they are fairly straight forward (i.e. you've probably heard 124562132 BM bands like them) They don't suck but really bring nothing new for me. They get some crap cause they went from <name core-Genre> to black metal.
This is a enjoyable track, see if it does anything for ya:

Kinda funny. Sadly is just one sad joke for mainly the wacko religious folk and gives them more exposure. The Bob Larson vs. Glen Benton still wins for me.

MORTUARY DRAPE
Sat, Dec 03, 2011
BLACK MESS PRODUCTIONS presents…
MORTUARY DRAPE (Italy), INQUISITION (Colombia), AGRATH, INFERNAL STRONGHOLD
I'm there!
KevinP wrote:I like Inquisitiion in the sense that they are at least an HONEST black metal band. They only have vocals, guitar and drums. 2 members. Absolutely no need for a bassist. I mean who the fuck needs a bassist in black metal? That's like needing to tune your guitar or have an amp that isn't falling apart.

Listened to it today actually. Sounded cool. Kinda more mellow vibe than previous stuff (though I'm by no means an expert on them).
The two 777 albums they released this year were more subdued (but not in a bad way). I think there is another part they are releasing as well ???
KevinP wrote:Obviously you think about this waaaaaay more than I ever plan to do
I just don't like traditional black metal (for the most part). Hence why the avante garde stuff appeals to me more (though I'm not head over heels about it)
I get all my catchy stuff from death, thrash and traditional metal, so it fills the "off the wall" void.
And stop lumping TDB as black metal will ya
Laura wrote:Mike - I get your thoughts about "catchy" - I think that's why I love Kvelertak so much - some of the catchiest music I've heard in ages. Btw - I agree with your comments about the Inquisition album - that's a great one and the guy even does a better Abbath voice than Abbath! ( ) Funny that at some point I was talking about Mortuary Drape and you were talking about Inquisition on this thread and now they're touring together next month. So . You mentioned some of your recent favorite albums, and I'll add to that with a slightly different parameter...

Laura wrote:Well, now it's official....just received this in my email today from Ticketfly:
Hello,
Mortuary Drape will no longer be performing at Reggies Rock Club on December 13. Inquisition will now be headlining with one band TBA. The cost of the show has been changed to $15.
Bad and good news - was really looking forward to seeing Mortuary Drape since I missed them at HITS - oh well, at least Inquisition is still playing and I'll go to that since I really like their new album...Ominous Doctrines of the Perpetual Mystical Macrocosm. Mike - just looked at their discography - are there others you are familiar with and would highly recommend? Also - a side note - didn't realize till today that even though they originally hail from Colombia, they've been in Seattle awhile now so it seems.

Haha, that dude is a professional student. I am 3 credits away from a M.S. in Computer Science Field and that is more than enough for me. (BTW - Grats on your degrees!) Been taking my sweet time on mine though with work and enjoying life. I am already in my profession and have several certification hoops I've jumped through so this is just icing. I still need to read that book though, this weekend ended up being party-time. Luckily I get the end of this week off for the Turkey slaughter!
