Balor

What is sad is that the reasons cited for such action were a few cases of idiots deciding to eat large quantities of pure caffeine powder - not even normal intake.

I remember that in high school my chemistry class had to read a book about caffeine. It was interesting and actually relevant to course materials until the class discussion steered towards whether or not caffeine should be regulated by the government as a potentially fatal drug. The whole time I was thinking to myself "I know that caffeine can affect you - but this is a bit ridiculous."

New Peste Noire later this year!

No... complex genre debates would clearly work much better.

Oh... you meant roll flat. I thought you meant roll into a tube.

"Impassable Fears" - Gravetemple

Welcome!

Why do you roll potato pancakes? I thought that they were flat.

I think that sonically, it is an interesting dichotomy. The natural and earthy tones of an acoustic instrument, and the hopeless, mechanistic background echos of a poor recording.

I think that their older albums lacked the ability to sustain interest (at least for me). They would have a few songs that were of particular interest, but would then degenerate into typical and non-evocative bm riffing. They needed a stronger, more unified vision. You identified their thematic interests as the source of their more complete albums, and I think that that is correct. "Frontschwien" (and "World Funeral") both presented shifting sound textures and speeds that helped to break up the constant aggressive playing, and thereby were able to grab and hold the attention of the viewer to a far greater extent. They also kept the listener in a state of anticipation - constantly on edge, on the lookout for some new, as of yet unheard sound.

Just started listening to it a few days ago. It definitely reminds me of Burzum.

The clean version was definitely better for Ulver. Incidentally, the acoustic portions on the version with the poor quality remind me a bit of Peste Noire.

6/10 Cool guitar tone - deep and heavy, and nice vocals also. The riffs are a bit monotonous, though. A solo or some other bit of variety would have added a lot to the song, in my opinion.

"Hyperborea" - Bilskirnir

But is it a really true black metal demo if it is listenable?

I tried to learn the solo a while ago, but had stopped. I need to get back on that. The solo of "Where Dead Angels Lie" sounds pretty fun to play too.

Definitely. While I really like the riffs on Frontschwein, I think that the vocals are what make it so good. The singer has a phenomenal voice - perfectly suited for both fast and slow songs.

I like to play the opening riffs for that song - not too fond of the main riffs though.

"Kerker" - Paysage d'Hiver
