Forgotten Woods-The Curse of Mankind (1996)

Second full-length from Norway's Forgotten Woods. This is a further perfection of their beautiful, melancholic, depressive, yet raw and hateful black metal. Some of the post punk elements that pervade the music of Joyless, Lifelover, and Amesoeurs can be found here, executed in a very memorable way. Slower tempos, beautiful melodies, inclusion of the occasional acoustic guitar, lengthy, epic songs, and a raw black metal gloss over the whole thing. Highly recommended! No Colours Records.
