    In the realm of more purist black metal, no. I actually pretty much contend that they're two entirely separate entities anymore. The new stuff has all the aesthetic and form, but none of the heart. Vortex is a damned interesting singer though, I will agree on that.

    [quizilla] Which Black Metal artist are you?

    http://quizilla.com/users/Ensittare/quizze...ble%20results)/ Do the test, I can let you know if your result is good or bad, in a musical sense. Work warning: One of the picture results shows a member of the band Mayhem with the top of his head blown off. I don't think Quizilla knows that it's an actual guy with his brain dripping into his lap on that record cover.

    Well, this might happen with any BM you come to. Avoid any Dimmu Borgir albums after Spiritual Black Dimensions. Albums previous to this are more accurate representations of their BM vision. Everything else is fast carnival music basically. Cradle Of Filth is perfectly worthwhile if you, like Dimmu, stick to earlier albums made before they started making money from it. "The Principle Of Evil Made Flesh", "Dusk And Her Embrace", "V Empire Or Dark Faerytales In Phallustein" are your best bets for both bands. For Black metal, really...avoid anything post 2000 or so until you get a grip on the conept of, and whether or not you like, black metal because new millenium stuff is a big show and tell on genre innovation that rarely works out as far as holding any real meaning and spirit. As far as non bm/dm genres, I'm not the expert I claim to be on them, so I'll leave those to others to recommend/warn against.

    redbaron only knows of the new century Dimmu Borgir. The stuff from about 1996-98 ish is worthy of listening to. Most of the bigger p2p applications are pretty lousy for selection of this type. Few people have it and everyone who's looking crushes them with their queues for hours and days on end. I don't know shit about hardcore really other than Sick Of It All, which isn't really full hardcore anyway. EDIT: For a lot of these bands, you might be shocked and or dismayed at the production value of the recordings. For many of these bands, the music came first, then production value worries...of course some less honourable acts used bad production as a means to be considered "true".

    for Nile, you do pretty well with nearly any of their material, but I would mostly recommend their 'In Their Darkened Shrines" album. Probably the most atmospherically crushing album I've heard. The use of egyptian influence comes to full fruition and the effect is heaviness via instrumentation and music, and not implied acts and technicality. The latter is a major plague on most death metal offerings. Listening to Unas, Slayer of God, Churning The Maelstrom, and I Whisper In The Ear Of The Dead is spellbinding. For bands like Burzum, Immortal, Emperor etc, I could probably upload a few songs onto yousendit and link you for investigation.

    Well, go read my big metal post then. Burzum is definately for you then. He's really a fascinating person, but too full of contradiction in his early years (before he went to prison and sured up his world view a bit) You come off much like him on the forum sometimes (sometimes for better, sometimes not), most notably in that old poetry thread from a while back. the book Lords of Chaos by Didrich Soderlund and Michael Moynihan is another one that you might be interested in. Order right from the publisher and they send you a burzum cd with it i think.

    Kibagami's responce is pretty fucking accurate, although I'm not sure if he's a neo nazi/fascist/pagan/heathen or not. This is me by the way.

    Why vote for the lesser of two evils in 2008?

    I've actually been studying this topic a bit lately, looking for texts and whatnot on it. But I didn't even make such an assumption as that.. What was it in my post that needed to prompt such a narrow viewed racism accusation? Is it just because it's a 'controversial' topic? Anyway, carrying on. Ok, the way I understand National Socialism to be is that it's an ideal wherein a nation (or tribe, family etc) has a set bloodline/cultural traits and hold the belief that there should be no ethnic mixing of the genetic line with another tribe/nation etc, regardless of what race they happen to be. The belief here is that mixing another culture's genetic traits into your own will taint the natural evolution of your race and mutate the bloodline. The people in the website shown above are basically white supremicists that have a superiority complex (christianity based?) that has been evolving basically as a culture since the 20th century. The Nazi/White Supremacy etc has basically swallowed up the idea of National Socialism and perverted the original intention of it(which has been in place for many many many years - I believe the Vikings practiced this in some form?), which was to basically keep the sanctity of the tribe's bloodline intact and pure. I'm not sure I've seen anything in looking at this stuff yet that shows me that it was purely white supremacist based, simply a view that tribal blood should be separated.

    I'm so happy that nobody in Canada seems to have any ability to photoshop stupid ass maps with stupid ass remarks on them. Our losing sides only complain about shit in Tim Horton's or on one of those ever so clever CBC skit shows.

    That's not national socialism. That's just a bunch of angry whites that don't have the capacity for deep thought on the issue.

    why the fuck would anybody worry about this non issue when you can just buy/download the dvd and watch whenever you want, without interruption? EDIT: and 99.9% of the time, the shit that is allowed through the FCC is far more offensive than some scenes of swearing and violence.

    Give me metal.

    For straight metal, you'll never go wrong with the usual suspects... Down - NOLA (not so much for Bustle In Your Hedgerow) Acid Bath - Paegan Terrorism Tactics and When The Kite String Pops. Your less drug infused choices are things like Nevermore I guess. I don't listen to much straight up metal anymore. For Thrash/Death metal Slayer - Reign In Blood. Inventor of death metal and perfector of fast strummed speed/thrash metal, it is required owning and listening for any new initiate Sepultura - Arise, Beneath The Remains...basically everything that came out in the 80's is more than worthy of investigation. Those albums are death innovations that show serious melodic chops. Avoid 90's-current output at all cost. Massacra - The Final Holocaust. Pretty much takes mid 80's Slayer and late 80's Sepultura to their next logical extreme of speed and flutter picked melody. Intense and essential. For modern day death you'll jam out with things like Morbid Angel's Blessed Are The Sick, Suffocation is a sure bet any way you slice it...particularly Pierced From Within. For more high concept crushing you'll go with bands like Nile and Neuraxis, both bands chugging along death's road outside of the constraints of immature crush kill destroy ethics seen in the myriad Cannibal Corpse clones. Your death metal hybrid leaders are Cryptopsy and Cephalic Carnage. For Black metal, you'll start with the usual suspects of Burzum, Immortal, Emperor, Enslaved, Bathory, Darkthrone etc. Personal recommendations to get you started Darkthrone - Transylvanian Hunger - Black metal with the hypnotic effects of hard techno. Lo fi and an unabashed fist in the face of musics conventional rules. Burzum - Det Som Engang Var.....http://anus.com/metal/burzum.html click here for a pretty decent opinion piece about what Burzum represents and presents. Enslaved - Vikinglgr Veldi. The album that gets my highest recommendation out of this list. Quickly becoming my favourate album (above the mights Emperor's Anthems album even). This record is so beyond most everything else from any genre, it's staggering. Pure NeoClassical Metal beauty. Any Emperor and any Immortal will serve you very well. But with Immortal you might want to start at "At The Hearth Of Winter" and up, then move backwards. Go get all of these yesterday.

    Give me metal.

    Karl Sanders - Saurian Meditation Seems to strike a balance between a more compositionally involved movie soundtrack and American interpretation of Egyptian music. There is no metal present, beyond a couple instances of electric guitar crunch that reminds us all of why we should be listening to Nile instead. "Of the sleep of ishtar" is probably my recommended pick at the moment. Worthwhile alone time music, but I'd say it's about two or three songs too many.

    Incandenza, some Neurosis you might be interested in is Through Silver In Blood. It's not something you'd listen to for the most part, but when listened to when you're at the edge of sleep can be incredible. Kinda like jumping into pure gravity. I'll put together some notes for a metal recommendation later.
