Khold - Masterpiss of Pain. Read about them a long time ago but this is my first opportunity to actually check them out.

Archaic Argot - Terrorist Ov The South-East. Some Black Metal out of the Philippines. The vocals on this record are really quite disturbing. I could only describe it as early Mayhem meets Abruptum.

I tried but i could never really get into Drudkh. It's my own bias i think, seeing so many Drudkh patches sitting alongside Lifelover & Shining patches that gives me a bad taste in my mouth. I'll keep trying but i haven't been able to shake it yet. To be honest, i haven't heard enough of Hate Forest to make a fair judgement, any recommendations i should check out?

No doubt, quickly becoming one of my favourites. The blend of delicate, traditional elements & distorted melodies has me hooked. May soon surpass Nokturnal Mortum as my favourite Ukrainian band. Nice. Have both these records (Katatonia & Paradise Lost) in my "To Listen" playlist. Will hopefully get the chance to check them out soon.

Kroda - Cry To Me, River...

Welcome Aboard PastorJ. I'm not a Christian myself, but i do enjoy some of the "unblack" metal bands. Enjoy your time here.

My family is actually from Denmark, but that's a whole different thread. lol. Anyways, I have often found the same with Slayer, i just never caught the hype. I respect their place in the history of metal it's just not for me. I enjoy pre-black album Metallica but my interest dropped pretty quickly after that & i started looking for something heavier. I don't really listen to much Dansk metal at all to be honest, i do enjoy the Psychobilly bands & a few of the "alternative pop" artists like Tina Dico & Dicte, etc though. I guess on the upside, at least they aren't namedropping Aqua & Mo when they find out you're Danish though.

Well thank you, i can only imagine how much better Dirty dancing would have been if Michael Myers played that part. Akercocke - Of Menstrual Blood & Semen.

Thank You, much appreciated.

Northern Kings - Rethroned. (P.S. Sorry for my absence folks, i'm currently in The Philippines so i can't get on here often.)

I can't stand Iron Maiden or Slayer. I really enjoyed Deep Calleth Upon Deep.

Don't believe so brother. Worth checking out?

Well, i have time for one more. Listening To: Aisling - Aisling/Trath Na Gaoth. Interesting project this one, An Italian band with a Gaelic theme. It does border on generic at times but the bridges and instrumentals are quite nice.

Cheers for the recommendations, been here barely a week and already have a rapidly growing playlist of things i haven't heard yet, i like it. Listening to: Amputation - Achieve The Mutilation. As i said previously, i don't know much about Death metal, so maybe by community standards this is a good demo. It's not really to my tastes, but it is cool to hear it for the historic relevance.

I really need to check out more Finnish BM. I have a few lying around from Impaled Nazarene, Catamenia & Barathrum which i do enjoy, but have never really given the country the attention it deserves. I'll check out the ones you mentioned.
