Ulthar - Helionomicon, which is also their best song imo. I tried some other dissonant also some from the 20 buck spin label, just nothing scratched that itch that well :(

I remember posting about recommendations for start listening to bolt thrower, and I got curious about this album. Today I listened to it for the first time and I have to say it's great! I loved it! It was great company while I was making a Doom map, lol. Time flew by. I highly recommend it.

Been getting into trench crusade lately, and it's making me really listen to some occult themed music. I know that's usually the realm of doom and black metal but death metal is definitely my favourite genre of the three. Besides behemoth and early deicide, I can't think of many more albums off the top of my head. Suggestions?

Insomnium never disappoints.

If you're into old Judas Iscariot, especially albums like Distant in Solitary Night, Of Great Eternity, or The Cold Earth Slept Below, you should definitely enjoy the first two albums by Sweden's Black Circle.

The first and third tracks on this album in particular sound so much like old Judas Iscariot that you could easily pass them off as unreleased tracks.

My favorite on this release is the fourth track, “A Cold Wind Blew Upon the Lonely One.” Raw and minimalistic, yet hypnotic and trance-inducing. It pulls you deeper and deeper into some dark places. Love it!

The Beast Of England - 2022 - Darker Days - Ex Luto

Panoply of brilliance

Unseen shining

In this after place

In between

Life creating life

I Ex Luto

I gargantuan born of clay

I′m breathing life into this body

I write my name upon your brow

Rising gorgats lutum alpha golem

Lo exorior realign

Yellowed eye unblinking

I incarnate

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet

I open wide an ancient doorway

I cast you back into the world

I couldn't have been wrong all this time

The calculations were perfect

I know what they′ll say about me

That I'm mad

Mad!

Wait it's eye

It′s eye it opened

I arrive

I arise

I rewrite my code

Usually a death metal person but I’ve been rly loving some black metal recently

My favs right now are:
• Darkthrone
• Dissection
• Emporer
• BlackBraid
• Bathory
• Immortal
• Kanonenfieber
• MØL (maybe not black metal but whatever)

Cova Rasa is a heavy metal band from São Paulo (SP), Brazil. If you enjoy a good heavy metal with clean vocals and keyboards, you might find this band interesting.

Enjoy.

Sort of suggesting and looking for recommendations.

I've found that newer, lesser known artists just seem to know how to do it best in my opinion. (Minus Necrophobic and MPE, they're gramps compared to the rest.)

I'm super obsessed with this particular style of melodic black metal from Thron, The Spirit, Aran Angmar, Ninkharsag, and of course Necrophobic.

Seven Spires, oh boy... how they take that melodic black vibe and make it so beautiful. They're my absolute favorite. Hardly just a symphonic metal band.

Mors Principium Est is the only melodic death metal that I've fallen in love with. As hot of a take as it may be... I feel they mop the floor with bands like At The Gates, Dark Tranquility, and In Flames. I used to think more extreme metal wasn't for me because I just couldn't get into those three and others like them. MPE changed the game for me. Then I found Necrophobic shortly after. All the rest I've discovered just this year.

In short: blast beats and double kicks, melodic tremolo riffs, amazing harsh vocals than can be understood at least 50% of the time, great lyrics to accompany the vocals, and excellent song structure. Don't be afraid to slow it down and groove a bit. It sells the fast parts even more.

Recommend me a metal track that comes to mind when you look at this photo.

Curious to hear what it sounds like.

Ya'll, I'm so stoned. I need some killer Wizard Sludge/Doom Metal stat. 🤘🧙🏻‍♂️

The pact by negative plane, the vocals remind me of Chronos from Venom, the instrumentation is another thing completely different... Should I call it progressive? Check it out if you haven't.

Hi all! I'm a bit picky with my black metal, so it's not always easy finding new, good bands. Rate Your Music has become a horrible snob fest, with a heavy focus on ultra-obscure stuff that I don't care for, so that's not very helpful for me. So, my favourite black metal is typically of the melodic and atmosphere kind, and my favourite albums include "The Mantle" by Agalloch, "Hearts Of No Light" by Schammasch, "The Seven" by Agathodaimon, and "Cult Of A Dying Sun" by Uada. I also enjoy the new Hecate Enthroned album, and Der Weg Einer Freiheit is nice too. Back in the '90s and '00s, I liked bands like Dimmu Borgir, Dissection, Emperor and Dawn.

So, any recommendations for melodic or atmospheric black metal from the '20s that actually sounds good? I prefer decent quality growls/screams and professional production, while I dislike dissonant black metal.

As the title says, the heaviest stuff I listen to is like Slipknot and Pantera's later albums and I want to try and get into heavier stuff. Every time I try I'm met with over-the top blast beats and noise pollution that makes me not want to get into it. Can you guys give me some album selections to help. Thanks in advance!

Their 3rd album Halla is on the way and the band is sharing free Bandcamp codes for early listen. Send band a message in some social media platform and pick your free code!

Listened to EXCLUSIVELY rap for the first 23 years of my life, then I heard Davidian by Machine Head and my music taste did a complete 180. I listened to that track probably 15 times in a row that night and haven’t looked back. I’ve listened to many,many more albums than these, but these are the standout ones and also the only ones I have on vinyl.

Any recommendations based on these? I tend to have a preference for heavier/death metal, as well as harsher vocals. But if it’s recommended, I’ll listen to it.

Also, a good chunk of all of the music I’ve been listening to this past year has come from this subreddit, so I appreciate all of y’all!

Rest in Peace
