But you're right...there really is no genre that isn't like that, but I guess I'm more forgiving when it comes to other genres because they spend more than a Benjamin and two hours on producing and mixing their recordings. That is the main reason why I can't stand a lot of black metal...so much of their production is utter crap... I loved Emperor...their last album as a band is my favorite. Ihsahn's solo stuff is good too, but I miss Emperor...): | ||

I'm also a Pianist/Keyboardist so you can see why I prefer Symphonic BM. Dude, I know just the band for you. It was american(!) BM band, the name was something like Abigail Williams? I actually liked it and I´m not that much into such stuff or any genre in general just like the blogger himself. | ||

"At the heart of winter" is sick. That album has atmosphere. I also forgot about Emperor completely and I like them alot. I think all these genre classifications are ridiculous; Dimmu Borgir was and is a norwegian black metal band, although with alot of different influences nowadays. Yeah they're not as true as Burzum, but they still play black metal, albeit a symphonic version. | ||

Yeah they're not as true as Burzum, but they still play black metal, albeit a symphonic version. Yeah I think that Immortals masterpiece is AtHoW and then Damned In Black isn´t as good as Sons of Northern Darkness but those are the top3 records. They have the right ratio of studio/producing work yet not too clean and soft like one could say about alot of modern BM. Man this is starting to be pretty good conversation, are you guys musicians or something? :D Or just music enthusiasts? I love playing some KoK and Immortal, that really gets your hand all fucked up... like Demonaz´s E. Oh yeah. All Shall Fall is going to be super epic destruction of the known universe, I guess it comes out in September. | ||

I play guitar, and have played in several bands....mostly hardcore though since I'm not a very "metal" guy per se; no long hair etc. I also did some rapping in another band, so I'm pretty open to different music. Actually I'm mostly into hardcore and hip-hop. And alot of metal too | ||

They aren't bad, they just don't measure up to many of the European and Southwest Asian bands. Not sure if you listen to much symphonic BM, but I'd check out: Alghazanth (Vocalist is in Swallow the Sun also) Stormlord Nightside Glance Enslavement of Beauty Dragonlord Out of them, I'd have Enslavement of Beauty with the best overall feel to them. They have a very atmospheric sound which seems to envelop the listener. Alghazanth is probably the best to listen to if you prefer straight BM. | ||

Yeah, I have a friend who listens to all kinds of finnish stuff so I know Alghazanth too but I´ve never really heard that much as I maybe should. There´s so much of it (finnish metal) that it´s getting pretty much generic shit  And to Foucault: Im a guitarist too (= main instrument )for good 6-7 years now, had some bandshit for a while but my friends ( don´t try to make a band with your friends!) were a bit to much interested in all other shit or just did fuckin nothing so it died. But I´m off to University and a bigger city ( The Metal Capital :D) so yeah I´ll definitely try to get to band or two. | ||

The fact that all bands in the genre put so much effort in their looks really break it up for me. I can't stand the whole evil clown look most black metal bands have, and the fact that sometimes it seems good music are not a black metal band's main priority, but looking and sounding "evil". All this animal killing, blood and other crap are just something to make up for shitty music. You don't see a real band like Opeth having to do any of that to be worshiped. That been said I'll check some of these bands out - I'm pretty sure there can be some hidden jewels in the genre I'm yet to find out. | ||

It maybe they just use that marduk style imagery, I dunno. Give SVEST a go if you havent already. Also, thanks to OP for linking Ragnarok, I haven't actually heard them until now. HATE gorgoroth though, but i'm an elitist little shit so whatever. Also also, make blog posts about Structuralist philosophy instead of metal for more cool points (sorry if your name has no relation to Michel) | ||
