Black Emperor released this album in 2002 before going on indefinite hiatus, and that has been the status of the band ever since. This album, overall, has a more urgent, if not panicked, feel to it... a sort of "impending apocalypse" atmosphere, yet still contains the trademarks Godspeed characteristics, from delicate, bleak, somber passages, building crescendos, to absolutely glorious, sweeping sections, absolutely awash with guitars and feedback, creating an almost cathartic atmosphere. As with all Godspeed releases, HIGHLY recommended.

Black Emperor. This album, as one will notice, has a slightly more uplifting and triumphant feel to the music, but there are still moments of incredible despair and stark bleakness. Overall, this album creates crescendos from minimalist, beautiful delicacy, to absolutely soaring, spectacular, all-encompassing roars of music, creating such an emotionally involving and moving listen. This album is also styled, in a sense, after a four-movement symphony, both structurally and conceptually. I cannot begin to explain how rewarding these releases are... you must just take my word for it. HIGHLY recommended.

Black Emperor. This EP showcases more of their trademark lengthy, post-apocalyptic, emotionally-charged, soaring and sweepingly atmospheric post rock of the absolute highest order. As is typical with Godspeed You! Black Emperor releases, one of the songs here prominently features "vox populi" samples that paint a picture of social and moral decay and collapse. Overall, a very bleak, dark, yet absolutely moving and gorgeous recording. As with all Godspeed releases, HIGHLY recommended.

Black Emperor. Certainly one of my favorite bands of all time, this is easily one of the most well-known and well-loved post-rock bands (Along with Mogwai and Tortoise, to name a couple). Godspeed is known for long, almost classically-arranged compositions (each song is broken into 'movements', much like classical music), that are unbelievably atmospheric and evocative, creating vast, sweeping masterpieces of sound, interjected with vox populi sound clips, to create something wholly unique and amazing. This debut album, from beginning to end, deals with the end of the world, in various forms, and the music certainly speaks to it: images of post-apocalyptic wastelands, twisted urban decay, clouded, dark skies, and complete desolation come to mind when immersing one's self in this music, yet there is a certainly uplifting and beautiful aspects to this music, as well. HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommended. To everyone.

After the dark and moody intro, this album kicks you in the face, right out of the gates. Ass-kicking, neck-snapping blackened thrash riffage of the highest order. As i've said before, this is a criminally underrated band in the blackened thrash scene, but if bands like Deströyer 666 and Nifelheim are your bag, or you're just looking for a solid, awesome slab of thrashin' black metal with a keen sense of melody, Thus Defiled is for you.

This album sees a departure from the more traditional black and death metal stylings of their first album, and sees them venture into the thrashier side of black metal, with absolutely incredible results. Absolutely ass-kicking riff after riff, delivered with the ferocity of black metal, and the headbangability of thrash metal, but with a higher level of proficiency than is standard in this genre. A MUST for all fans of bands such as Deströyer 666, Gospel of the Horns, Nekromessiah, and Nifelheim. Truly a terribly underrated gem of a band that will have you snappin' your necks in no time flat.

While this first album leans more towards pure black metal with hints of death metal, the ass-kicking, thrashing juggernaut they were to become shines through in moments all over this album. Absolutely killer riffs, slayer-esque solos, headbangable, all-in-all amazing songwriting... it's all here. If kick ass blackened thrash is your bent, you'd be hard pressed to find many better bands than this.

This album opens with delicate keys and acoustic guitars, setting a very ethereal, yet very cold atmosphere. When it all kicks in, it becomes quite apparent this is a damn good black metal release. Well-written riffs, good black metal production, as well as lengthy dark ambient segments, beautiful neofolk-ish acoustic sections, and an ability to create amazing songs across the gamut of black metal genres, with depressive influence, heavy second-wave norwegian influence, folk influence, you name it. I recommend this to all fans of good, atmospheric black metal. Solistitium Records. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">1.

This album is more straight-forward black metal than their first full-length, but it nonetheless retains the folk-ish melodies and atmosphere, complete with delicate acoustic passages, occasional female vocals, celtic tin whistles/flutes (used sparingly) and subtle, not at all overbearing keyboard flourishes (also used sparingly). Above all, however, this is just a very, very enjoyable, well-written album of pagan black metal. Recommended, especially for fans of their previous works, and for fans of bands such as Satanic Warmaster, Goatmoon, and even Grand Belial's Key and Akitsa.

Funeral Procession plays a mixture of traditional second-wave-styled black metal, with heavy use of ambience, to create an absolutely great piece of black art. Parts of this album bears slight resemblance to the "Orthodox Black Metal" style being championed by bands such as Deathspell Omega, Watain, Ondskapt, and Ofermod.  Some of the guitar riffs on here are just insanely memorable. If you dig your black metal traditionally, with a melodic edge, Funeral Procession is for you.

Beautiful, sweeping, swirling guitar parts, drenched with effects, to create a sound that is unmistakably Explosions in the Sky.

If you are familiar with artists such as Sigur Rós, and Godspeed You! Black Emperor, you'll know roughly what style of  music this is. But where Sigur Rós is more icy and ethereal in sound, and Godspeed You! Black Emperor is bleak and apocalyptic, Explosions in the Sky creates cathartic moments of triumph and beauty in their post rock songs, which they call "Cathartic Mini-Symphonies". This is all instrumental music, with vast washes of guitar, moments of subtle, pristine delicacy, and epic, uplifting triumph. I HIGHLY recommend all Explosions in the Sky albums, especially to fans of bands such as Sigur Rós, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Jesu, and even Alcest.

After the unfortunate demise of Windir, half of the band went on to form Vreid, abandoning most of the melodic folk elements that made Windir great. The other half of the band, however, went on to form Cor Scorpii, and within the first moments of listening to this, you'll notice the true spirit of Windir carried through to Cor Scorpii. Very melodic, folk melody-infused black metal done right, with the trademark "Sogndal" sound that Windir pioneered. If you were a fan of Windir at all, you need this release; and if you have never listened to Windir, kick yourself, listen to them, and then listen to this. HIGHLY recommended. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">1.

Once again, this release hits the listener with a barrage of ferocious, twisted, dark riffs, head-bangable bits here and there, and an atmosphere of a religious orthodox satanist ritual. This is, all in all, just a very kick ass black metal release that you won't regret listening to. Recommended, particularly for fans of Watain and Deathspell Omega.

Chaotic, yet at the same time, all very coherent, with masterfully crafted songs, wonderful black metal riffing, clear, audible bass, solid, well-played percussion...it's all here. If black metal is your thing, Ondskapt will deliver. For fans of Watain, Antaeus, Deathspell Omega, and Ofermod. Recommended.

They play a mixture of depressive black metal, with post-punk and shoegaze elements thrown in. This is a must for fans of bands such as The Cure and Joy Division, as well as those of you who love Amesoeurs, Alcest, and all of Neige's projects, as well as Forgotten Woods and Joyless. Just overall, an absolutely incredible release, full of beautiful, melancholic melodies, a sick and twisted depressive atmosphere, absolutely anguished vocals, bizarre and rather morbid samples... just beginning to end, a phenomenal release. HIGHLY recommended. GoatowaRex. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">1.

This is fast, melodically-inclined, masterfully created black metal, and doubly impressive for a demo, no less. Moments of blast-beat-ridden ferocity and buzzsaw riffing, mixed with delicate acoustic parts, midtempo melodic black metal segments... it's all here. I'd recommend this for fans of bands such as Taake, Dissection, and even bands such as Watain. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">1.

The music here sometimes reminds me of bands such as Satanic Warmaster, Taake, Angantyr, and even early Windir... so I would highly recommend this release to fans of those bands-but I would highly recommend this release to all black metal fans, as well.

This band was considered by many to be one of the founding fathers of the NSBM scene, despite never releasing any full-lengths, but rather just a series of demos and rehearsals. But on to the music: this is wonderfully-composed, raw, yet very atmospheric black metal; wonderful, memorable riffs, subtle and tastefull keys, a good, old fashioned raw (yet listenable) production, great vocals-it's all here. Graveland fans, take note: Rob Darken played a big role in the recording of this demo, not only playing and composing the intro and outro, but also contributing in the songwriting process itself; so naturally, there are some similarities to Graveland's music here. As with all NS releases, if you disagree with the ideologies, I still urge you to check it out for the music's sake: this is very well-made black metal that just happens to be NS. Don't let that make you miss out on a wonderful listen. Highly recommended.

This is intensely atmospheric, epic black metal, that I cannot recommend enough. Easily one of the best bands to come out of the Canadian scene in recent times, Forteresse plays a mixture of beautifully-crafted, epic guitar riffs, an underlying bit of synth (which adds greatly to the vast, all-encompassing atmosphere of this release, and a heavy dose of Québécois nationalism.

This is a very riff-oriented pagan black metal release, with some definite influence from the Norwegian second wave. It is also quite atmospheric, with clean vocal touches, acoustic sections (which have a faint similarity to later-era Bathory), and light synth touches, making this, overall, a very solid and enjoyable piece of black art. Recommended to all black metal fans, especially those who lean more towards atmospheric bm.

The keyboards play a greatly reduced role on this album than they did on previous albums, but the riffs more than make up for their absence. Overall, a great slavic black metal album! Recommended.

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!

This album sees some slight evolutions in sound, with the addition of some clean vocals, and a slightly more melodic approach to their song writing. Influences of Katatonia are very apparent, and there are moments that definitely reminded me of such bands as Lifelover, and even Amesoeurs. But above all, the crushing, dark, twisted, and depressing black metal that Forgotten Tomb has been known for, is still very much here, with doom influences very much intact. Highly recommended.

This album has a much cleaner production than most DSBM bands, making it something akin to Shining's work; that being said, Forgotten Tomb has their very own unique, distinct sound, that is shown in aces on this album, with morbid, oppressive, dark, and melancholic melodies, cold, gut-wrenching vocals, their usual black metal influences, and the dirge-like, grave's pace tempos, similar to that of bands in the funeral doom genre. Overall, if you want a depressive/suicidal black metal release that will leave you feeling completely void of happiness (in a good way(?)), this is for you. Highly recommended.

This music, overall, has a very uplifting, almost triumphant feel to it, creating a very enjoyable atmosphere. The melodies that Widar creates are always wonderful, regardless of what project he's writing for, and this is no exception. If you like Bilskirnir, you need to check out this, as well. As with the previous post, this album is obviously an album centered heavily around German nationalism, but if you don't prescribe to those beliefs, don't let that spoil this for you, because this is just absolutely great music. Highly recommended! Wewelsburg Records. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">1.

This is more R.A.C./Oi influenced black metal, but with Widar's special attention to melody. Essentially, picture Bilskirnir as a punk band, and you have an idea of what Ulfhethnar is. As is the case with Bilskirnir, I urge you to look past the lyrical content (which is highly nationalistic), if you have a problem with this subject matter; but instead, appreciate the music for what it is. As far as i'm concerned, everything Widar touches is gold. HIGHLY recommended. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">1.

To Illustrate the meaning of symbols, this book uses the example of the American flag, and explains what the symbols found on the flag really mean. The Important point is that without an understanding of American history, we'd not know how to interpret the symbols on our flag. The same holds true for all symbols. Lacking enough background information causes us, many times, to miss their full meaning. The Lost Key is a book for Freemasons, and explains the meanings of their symbols. Masons are members of a longstanding fraternal order that functions along the lines of a mystical brotherhood. A number of rituals are performed as one progresses up the ranks, usually in the form of an initiation. Often times, Masons themselves do not know what the symbols within these rituals truly mean while they are being performed- so therefore, do not fully understand what they are really doing and the true purpose of the initiation. There are thirty-three degrees, or levels, in Freemasonry. This particular book covers the symbols found within the first three degrees of Freemasonry, making this an excellent guidebook for the beginning Mason, as well as providing a more complete understanding for those in the higher levels, who administer or oversee their rituals. In recent years, statistics show that Freemasonry has begun to lose some of it's members. The older books like The Lost Key, have gone out of print and younger masons may not have fully understood the purpose of their initiations--at least enough to hold their interest. The symbols found within Freemasonry operate on a number of different levels. Now that The Lost Key has been put back into print, it may help to enrich an organization that traditionally attracts high-standing members of communities across North America and the rest of the world. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">120 Pages</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?d3mbm4yjabl">Download</a></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7765069127167181371-595759197430996464?l=church-of-atrocity.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Vinlanderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04637692664453906485noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7765069127167181371.post-79206794042272344652008-05-15T18:59:00.000-07:002008-05-15T19:03:18.635-07:00<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The Nag Hammadi Library, a collection of thirteen codices containing over fifty texts, was discovered in upper Egypt in 1945. This immensely important discovery includes a large number of primary Gnostic scriptues; texts once thought to have been entirely destroyed during the early Christian struggle to define "Orthodoxy"-- scriptures such as the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Philip, and the Gospel of Truth. The discovery and translation of the Nag Hammadi library, completed in the 1970's, has provided impetus to a major re-evaluation of early Christian history and the nature of Gnosticism.

Far from the strictly viking black metal of their first album, this record incorporates more varied influences, and the music is presented with a much heavier edge than ever before. While the folk influence is still here to be found, it is more easily obscured by the crushing riffs found throughout. Recommended.

This album, it seems, Thyrfing really perfected their viking metal formula, mixing equal parts hard n' heavy riffs and pagan rasps, with beautiful melodies, tasteful synths, and even some really good clean vocals. Easily my absolute favorite of Thyrfing's... there is not a bad song on the album. Even the cover song at the end (a Gary Moore cover, of all things!), they manage to make a rousing, epic metal tune. Overall, HIGHLY recommended to all fans of folk/viking metal, or just some epic fuckin' metal in general.

This debut full-length is really what started to break them into the scene, and with good reason. An absolutely pervasive viking atmosphere is present throughout, with wonderful melodies (mostly presented in the synth lines), and a mix of black metal rasps, and Bathory-esque viking choir sections. I highly recommend all Thyrfing albums, and this is no exception.

Melding beautiful folk melodies (including violins and mandolins), powerful riffs, delivered, at times, with black metal intensity. Really, a very underrated band, as this album is absolutely a gem. I'd recommend this for fans of bands such as Ensiferum, Wintersun, Varg, and even Turisas. A must for all folk/viking metal fans (And the Dschinghis Khan cover of 'Moskau' is a gem)!

Considered to be the last album of Candlemass's golden era (their first four albums). Here, we have the crushing, doomy riffs and atmosphere that made Candlemass famous, complete with the epic feel they put into their music. There are even some occasional traditional metal and power metal influence on this album, but not in an overt, genre-departing way. This is doom metal the way it's supposed to be. Recommended!

Here, they perfected their epic doom formula, to make a truly EPIC release. Absolutely full to the brim with dark, doomy atmosphere, head-crushing riff after head crushing riff, Messiah's soaring vocals, this album has it all. If you want an epic doom metal release, this is the album for you. HIGHLY recommended.

Wonderful, dark and gloomy atmosphere pervades this release, mixed with absolutely skull-crushing riffs that would make Iommi proud. If you are a metal fan, regardless of genre, you should already have the first couple Candlemass albums; but if you don't, here's your chance for salvation. Highly recommended.

He was an absolutely amazing, multi-talented percussionist, and a damn hard vacancy to fill. But on this album, the void has been filled by Martin Axenrot of Nifelheim/Witchery fame, and let me be the first to tell you, if there's one person who can live up to Lopez' drumming, it is Axenrot. He adds a harder edge to Opeth's music (even blastbeats!!), but is still just as versatile and talented as the departed Lopez. As far as music overall, this album is absolutely a thrill to listen to. Easily some of the heaviest material Opeth has ever written, but still with Opeth's progressive flare (complete with both heavy and light sections. Per Wiberg really shines on this album, his keys adding an amazing dynamic to the music. Also new on this album is the addition of Fredrik Åkesson on guitar, and he fills the departed Peter's shoes amazingly. I HIGHLY recommend this album...i've been listening to is almost constantly since I got it.

This album sees Opeth in all their progressive death metal glory, with, for the most part, a very dark sound. The other key elements here are that they have turned to an even more progressive creative mode, creating moments that remind the listener of bands such as Dream Theater, King Crimson,and even bands such as Uriah Heep. The other addition here is with a new full-time member, a keyboardist, adding a touch of atmosphere that turns great progressive metal into AMAZING progressive metal, complete with mandatory rock organs and mellotrons. Of course, this album includes both the death metal aspects of Opeth's music, mixed with the brilliant acoustic sections, and ethereal, atmospheric parts. The atmosphere on this album is spectacular. Overall, another absolutely amazing Opeth record. Highly recommended!

This is completely a progressive rock album... no traces of death metal to be found here. This is mostly acoustic and clean guitars, beautiful, flowing, elegant solos, Martin Lopez' amazing, world-music influenced percussive skills, and Mikael's beautiful, rich singing voice, and Steve Wilson (Porcupine Tree), producing, and lending his hand with keyboards, especially with a trademark progressive rock staple, the mellotron. This is a beautiful, atmospheric album, and a wonderful juxtaposition to the previous Deliverance album. Another one of my absolute favorites of Opeth. HIGHLY recommended.

This is where Opeth really began to come into their own, effortlessly melding their different influences and musical ideas into a wonderful, fully-coherent, beautiful album. Here, we have Opeth fully realizing the potential of their unique brand of progressive metal, creating a sound scape I could only describe as absolutely lush and full. This is the album that has set the tone for the following albums. HIGHLY recommended. Peaceville Records. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">1.

This album sees the addition of Martin Lopez on the drums, although he doesn't start to really shine until the following album, Still Life. But nonetheless, this album is spectacular in it's own right; it has a slightly harder, more brutal edge (some may say it is a darker album) to it than the previous albums, with more concise songs, with more of a focus on making everything fluid and flowing. One could say this is the where the transitions that became very apparent in Still Life, started here. But fear not, there is still heavy juxtaposition of heavy and delicate, quiet parts, creating an overall wonderful album. Highly recommended!

Orchid is their debut full-length, and even though it is their first, it is undoubtedly a masterpiece. Filled with absolutely gorgeous melodies that stick with you, and lengthy, melancholic, folk-inspired parts, mixed with their trademark progressive death metal. People often dismiss Opeth as being too wankish or proggy and whatnot, but I urge you to really listen to their albums with a very open mind... what they write is absolutely genius stuff. As for this album, HIGHLY recommended.

This single album crosses many, many genres, to create an entire pagan metal listening experience. There are elements for fans of everything from death metal, to viking metal, to Teutonic folk music, to neofolk, to punk, to classic metal, and of course, raw black metal. This album keeps it's ideas fresh, and there is never a dull moment on this record. I'd recommend this to fans of everyone from Absurd, to Agalloch, Forseti, Vintersorg, Bathory, Wyrd, and everyone in between. Highly recommended!

This album includes the oft-used clean vocals of the previous album, mixed with the raw and hateful rasps of their earlier work, with a more black metal feel than the previous album. Above all, however, the important thing here is the atmosphere. This album is dripping with it... folkish, pagan, nature-inspired atmosphere is the order of the day in this band, and if that's what you look for in your black metal, this will be right up your alley.

On this album, there is a slight shift in sound from the 'tr00 kvlt', more raw sound of previous albums, as this album focuses more on clean, heathenish vocals, and even some punk-ish influence, with some parts sounding akin to bands such as Absurd and Ulfhethnar. At the core, however, is still the pagan black metal sound Bergthron is known for. Recommended!

They are a relatively new, up-and-coming band, and this is their first full-length. This is full of ass-kicking riffs, full of melody and folk influence, plenty of head bangable parts, mixing melodic death metal, power metal, and folk metal in a way that is, in some ways, similar to Ensiferum's approach. Varg, however, manages to retain their own unique sound that is definitely a good thing. Recommended to all fans of folk/viking metal!

This is some wonderfully made pagan doom metal, with a vocalist that reminds me highly of A.A. Nemtheanga, of Primordial. Unlike Primordial, however, this is more riff-based, with a more up-front, heavily doom-influenced approach, as well as tasteful usage of piano thrown into the mix. Recommended!

They play a mixture of folk/pagan metal, mixed with a very pronounced doom metal influence, beautiful keyboard melodies, and a rich pagan atmosphere. Some aspects of Mael Mórdha are very similar to their fellow countrymen, Primordial, but Mael Mórdha takes a much more doom-laden approach, with more traditional metal influence, as well. An absolutely great band. Recommended!

This is an invaluable, one-of-a-kind reference. Unlike most other books on the subject, The Atlantic Encyclopedia offers fewer theories, and more facts. Although it does not set out to prove the sunken city actually existed, The Atlantis Encyclopedia musters so much evidence on its behalf, even skeptics may conclude that there must be at least something factual behind such an enduring, and indeed global, legend. In this book, you'll learn: *What is Atlantis?* Where was it located?* How long ago did it flourish?* How was it destroyed?* What became of its survivors?* Have any remains of Atlantis ever been found?* Will Atlantis ever be found?* Did Atlantis have any impact on America?*. This is a must-have book.

It claims to be the work of Hermes Trismegistus (Hermes the Thrice-Great"), a legendary Egyptian sage or god, variously identified with the Egyptian god, Thoth, and/or the Greek god, Hermes. This short and cryptic text was highly regarded by European alchemists as the foundation of their art, in particular, of its Hermetic tradition. This version has a few other translations from prominent intellectuals such as Isaac Newton and Madame Blavatsky. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">22 Pages</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?z0nznxwqxfs">Download</a></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7765069127167181371-5361854580151837953?l=church-of-atrocity.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Vinlanderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04637692664453906485noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7765069127167181371.post-80273099210289830042008-05-07T23:55:00.000-07:002008-05-08T00:01:39.394-07:00<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The theory that underlies the cosmic power has been analyzed to its thinnest filaments, and practical methods have been suggested to awaken this great pristine force in individuals.

To the extent that we are integrated with these terms, we can begin to see with our inner vision, the unveiling of the spiritual structure that surrouns us, almost as if a mist has been lifted. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">112 Pages</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?1ti2mzuz44z">Download</a></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7765069127167181371-1236318816510484389?l=church-of-atrocity.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Vinlanderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04637692664453906485noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7765069127167181371.post-33220121277380895472008-05-07T23:45:00.000-07:002008-05-07T23:50:22.755-07:00<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">This simple book will get you started on the path of yoga and meditation.

If you've followed them at all, you know their last EP, and last LP, started them in a new direction, blending their raw black metal attack, with amazing ambience, psychedelia, and more metal influences from outside the somewhat constricting confines of black metal. They have evolved from a fairly traditional black metal band, to a very intriguing, downright amazing band. On this EP, in addition to the new tracks, and a re-recorded track, we also get to see two new faces of Nachtmystium, with two VERY different band covers (those being Death in June and Goatsnake!). I HIGHLY recommend this album to any open-minded metal fans who are looking for something new in their black metal.

Lurker of Chalice is a sort of side-project for Wrest, the man also behind Leviathan. While Leviathan is his outlet for sick n' twisted, dark and depressing black metal, in Lurker of Chalice, he opens up his experimental side a lot more, creating washing, post-rock-like soundscapes, industrial overtones, neofolk influence, and of course, some of his black metal influence, to create a very unique and wonderful sound. I highly recommend all the work of Wrest, and this first demo is no exception; while it is slightly more raw in sound than later L.o.C. recordings, don't let that deter you from a wonderfully dismal listening experience. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">1.

Everything from amazing guitar riffs, to sparingly-used and wonderful female vocals, down-tempo, post-rock-feeling sections, and even some folky elements, make this an amazing and oft-overlooked gem of the Norwegian scene. Highly recommended, especially for fans of early Opeth, Agalloch, and even Alcest.

Whether or not you agree with the philosophies expressed in this band, you should definitely check this out for music alone. Very, very epic, atmospheric, synth-laden black metal that reminds, at times of Summoning's symphonic offerings. All in all, a very very good release. Highly recommended.

This album starts with a delicate, folksy intro, and then moves into some very well-written, melodically tinged pagan black metal, with some folk elements. There are some musical traits here reminiscent of the BlazeBirth Hall bands, however, this recording is not nearly as rawly produced as bands such as Branikald and Forest; there are also some slavic folk metal elements here, at times similar to Arkona, Butterfly Temple, and Svarga. Recommended to all fans of pagan black metal. Stellar Winter Records. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">1.

This is a collection of their "Red Steeples" demo, and their "Music for Falling Buildings" demo, and overall, this release is wonderful. Full of hypnotic minimalism and ambience that paints images of oceans and the nightsky, this is for the listener who wants to immerse themselves and drop out of reality for a little while. Recommended! Ivory Snowfish Music. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">1.

This album is yet another amazing record filled with epic folk metal bombast, amazingly talent-filled riffs and solos, beautifully crafted songs... just absolutely great. And for my money, the song "Victory Song" is one of the best songs Ensiferum has ever written. HIGHLY recommended.

Ensiferum's folksy take on Lady in Black really brings the song to a new level, and is really pretty kick-ass. Recommended to Ensiferum fans... and Uriah Heep fans!

While this has been a cause for division amongst many Ensiferum fans, I personally don't think the band suffered at all. This EP shows that Petri can fill Jari's shoes more than adequately. This album contains a new song (Dragonheads), two re-recordings from their demos (Warrior's Quest, White Storm), an Amorphis cover, and a beautiful medley of Finnish folk songs. Highly recommended to all folk metal fans, as this is a spectacular EP.
