I get what you are saying, but perhaps it might be better to look at all of Roman Saenko's music as a collective whole.

I listened to some Hate Forest a while ago, but never either of the other two. Thanks for the suggestions!

I have heard good things about Mork, but have yet to listen to them. I heard part of one song, but was not too impressed. I will have to look into them. I like what I have heard from Vreid, but never cared for Kampfar.

Several songs by Gallowbraid. I think I might have finally found a band similar to Drudkh.

"World Funeral" - Marduk

"Sketchbook" - Tom Griesgraber

I actually thought the same, but have yet to do it myself. I will look into it. Looking at the tour dates, it seems plausible but unlikely. While they are all in Europe around the same time, they are in different countries.

I think it might be too soon to label them a gimmick. I would wait for a new album (if they actually make one) before passing judgement, for we would have more context then. Has anyone ever cross-referenced touring schedules to check if it might be possible for members of Batushka to be in either Mgla or Behemoth?

Why? Their album was good.

"Black Metal" - Venom Some random Blut Aus Nord songs.

Trying to write songs, but can't create anything more than riffs.

"Estrangement" - Drudkh "Kapitulation 2013" - Endstille

I think I found my mistake. I think that it is closer to "Dru-huh," where the kh at the end is unvoiced and unaspirated. Source: http://pages.ucsd.edu/~dkjordan/resources/PronouncingSanskrit.html I don't speak Sanskrit or study language, so I am finding this pronunciation very difficult.

I think I found it. "Drrood" (Source: http://www.visiblemantra.org/pronunciation.html) "The dental consonants (t th d dh) are pronounced with the tongue on the teeth. In English our tongue is often on the gum behind the teeth, making our dental stops sound like something between a true dental and a retroflex." "ṛ as in cur" "u as in put or foot" "Aspirated consonants (kh, gh, ch, jh, th, dh, ph, bh): the h's are pronounced so that th as in hothouse, not as in theatre."

Cool music, I especially liked your song "7."

"Deathcrush" - Mayhem

I would now change these to: 1: Drudkh 2: Burzum 3: Emperor 4: Batushka 5: Mayhem

"Litourgiya" - Batushka

Black Metal has certainly come a long way since the Second Wave, so I was wondering what bands people now consider to be at the forefront of the genre. Is there a new scene, like Norway, that is breeding a new era of Black Metal? (I would hesitantly guess Poland, as bands like Batushka and Mgla are gaining fame and introducing new visual motifs.)

"Grand Declaration of War" - Mayhem -I feel like I am not getting this album entirely, I will need to listen to it more. "A Fine Day to Die" - Bathory "I Troldskog Faren Vild" - Ulver -These were the two songs that got me into Black Metal.

"Three Forest Paintings" by Konstantin Vassiliev

Druk? Droodkh? Drood? It really irritates me that I do not know this for sure, as it is one of my favorite bands. However, I have only seen it written.

"Litourgiya" - Batushka "Destruction Algorithm" - Doomsday Cult "Chimera" - Mayhem

"Chimera" - Mayhem

"Destruction Algorithm" - Doomsday Cult (More people need to listen to this album.) "Skies at Our Feet" - Drudkh
