Immolation Deathspell Omega Peste Noire The Chasm Hypocrisy

Hate Forest - Purity

Blasphemophagher - The III Command of the Absolute Chaos

Traitors Gate - The Devil Takes the High Road

I was listening to Break Free just a few minutes ago, that song has one of the best sweeping parts I have ever heard

8/10, I love that album. It's pretty unhortodox for a death metal band, but Dan Swanö really nailed it.

Peste Noire - La Sanie des siècles

Revel in Flesh - Relics of the Deathkult These guys are pretty good for being yet another swedeath worship band

Aosoth - Arrow in Heart

Acid Bath - Paegan Terrorism Tactics

Descend into the Absurd - Fleshcrawl

I really like that Altar album, it's some solid dutch death metal. And I'm happy you are digging that Drudkh

Svartidauði - Flesh Cathedral

Sarpanitum

I chose The Cetlic Winter by Graveland at the end of the day, because the weather was particularly cold as well. And yeah, I know many people would rather listen to music when they don't have any distraction, but apparently I'm great at multitasking and I can focus on multiple things without much effort

It's raining outiside, and I'm trying to think about music I should leave in the background. It usually helps me to focus on work

Excruciate - Passage of Life

Zzooouhh - Delirium

Voivod - Nothingface

Their Despise the Sun EP is also very good but for some reason it doesn't get mentioned a lot. That's the way to porperly teach brutal death metal

That's a bummer, but I also was feeling that time for Frank was about to come (as much as I like Suffocation) the last couple of albums didn't convince me that much, especially ...Of the Dark Light. That show seems amazing tho, those 3 bands are killer! Sometimes I which I could live in a more "high-traffic" country, we should have had Morbid Angel the last summer but apparently they cancelled the tour, at least in my city.

Deathspell Omega - Fas - ite, maledicti, in ignem aeternum

Sorry to hear that, I kinda had your same problem at a certain point in my life, luckily now I'm ok. I never particularly cared for DSBM tho, music can make me feel pretty melancholic at best, but I wouldn't go as far as saying it makes me sad.

You like doom metal quite a lot, so my take is that you should check out some bands that incorporate that sound with black metal. You probably already heard of Bethlehem so I'd recommend checking out suff like that: - Argentum ( https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Argentum/2710 ) - Dolorian ( https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Dolorian/3925 ) - Elysian Blaze ( https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Elysian_Blaze/17646 ) - Death Fetishist ( https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Death_Fetishist/3540405170 ) Let me know if you could possibly like these bands

Let's see if I can revive the thread.... Forteresse - Métal Noir Québécois A very interesting Canadian atmospheric black metal project in the vein of Sorcier des Glacies, Walknut and Mgla. Technically speaking, there is always the usage of the "blast beats/tremolos and leads" which can be found in most Norwegian black metal bands, and indeed Forteresse do worship a little bit the bands of the said area, but their approach is inherently classy and wholly original, and this effect is also emphasized by the usage of unhortodox violins in the mix. Might not be everyone's cup of tea -that should be put into consideration - but if you like your black metal complex, well-structured and elegant, Forteresse might do the trick for you. Branikald - Хладавзор (Frost Vision) Branikald is in my eyes a fairly underappreciated one man black metal band which can be found among the ranks of the Russian "Blazebirth Hall", comprised of other projects such as Forest, Raven Dark, Nitberg, Rundagor, Vargleide, Wotan Sølv, and Yggdrasil. Very few black metal albums, even by today's standards, can evoke the same freezing atmosphere Frost Vision is capable of. Following up their other masterpiece "Ad Vinterkald", this album brings to the table some really memorable riffs, although I feel like they lose importance when compared to the overall character of the album due to their high distortion, simple nature, and massive repetition. If you can tolerate lenghty ambient songs, this album will click with you instantly. Ved Buens Ende - Written in Waters Ved Buens Ende are an interesting issue, because they completely circumvent the classic norwegian black metal style and instead offer a strange and unique approach to the genre, that most likely bands like Deathspell Omega will further evolve in the future. An over-enveloping sense of wrongness pervades this album. The odd tones, thumping bass and bendy rhythms all converge to give you a strange soundscape reminiscent of the abstract art used for the front cover. A world of strange sounds that all come together to make something crushing and consistent, yet obtuse and ethereal, with riffs that seem to bend and wrap around each other in a manner that someone might find annoying, yet also makes sense. One of the very best out of the entire genre. Dawn - Slaughtersun (Crown of the Triarchy) Although as a whole I prefer the swedish scene when it comes to death metal, Dawn is an interesting band which blends this style with typical Dissection-esque melodies but never failing to sound genuine (best comparisons would be also Unanimated, Sacramentum, Eucharist and Vinterland). The band actually started with Nær sólen gar niþer for evogher (1994) as a melodic death metal- oriented band, they rapidly changed sound after a couple of demos and spilts. Obviously, we aren't witnessing anything remotely new, but the band manages to make the best aspects of melodic black metal shine under a very effective light, adding a bit of a melancholic taste into the mix as well. I'd definetely recomend this if you are already accustomed to Jon Nödtveidt's works. Torr - Armageddon Torr is pretty oddball Czech early black/thrash metal band, and was apparently part of the same early '90s Czech Republic metal scene which involved other projects like Samael, Master's Hammer and Root, to name a few. This was their first full-lenght album, but it actually sounds like a more polished version of Witchhammer, which was -I'd say- on par with other top tier classics of the very same scene, so I think it is worth hearing it if you haven't already. Although the grop is probably best known for their 1991 album Institut Kilinické Smrti, fans shouldn't dismiss this record at all. Id should be noted the album even uses occasional synths and other electronical parts to enhance the atmosphere but still putting riffs prior to anything else.
