Hey guys, 

New here, I just read the rules thread, thought this one would go well next. 

I'll go by Corpse, I love all types of metal, and I've been listening to at least alternative music since the age of about 7. 

My favourite genre would have to be Black Metal, by far. I started listening to black metal about two years ago, with your obvious bands such as Mayhem, Darkthrone, Gorgororth, Burzum, etc. I then found the brilliance of Suicidal Black Metal/DSBM a little over a year and a half ago. Struggling with mental health issues most of my remembered life, it has helped me through days in which nothing else did. 

Following Black Metal, other favourite genres would have to be Hardcore, Brutal Death Metal, Punk, and Screamo (bands like Old Grey, Things Fall Apart, Vowel, etc) 

I have my own Raw DSBM project called HYSTERIA. I understand promotion must be kept to the promotion thread, but if somebody would like a link, its just Hysteria DSBM on bandcamp. 

I hope to find people to discuss similar interests with, as well as broaden my library of music. 

 

Thanks for reading, Ave Satanas!!

Infernal hails to thee Corpse, I do believe it is the only accepted black metal greeting, hope you dig it here. Black metal is probably my third favourite sub-genre behind doom (number 1 by a country mile) and death metal.

 

Welcome, also, to BlackRaven. Cool name btw but you may want your own intro thread.

Black metal = the best metal in my view too.  Your music is cool (as your the logo).  Any tips for recording?
I definitely agree, and thank you for the words about my music. The first three releases of mine were all recorded using my phone's microphone, as I wanted the rawest production I could. I just layered each instrument over and bam, you get that cold feeling. It's very hit or miss but personally I love it

Upon hearing that it was all recorded on a phone microphone (the kvltest thing I've heard this month) I had to check out your bandcamp. You've got a pretty good sound, the vocals are awesome. Are some of the percussion instruments just you tapping a pen on something?

I can't thank you enough for checking out my music and enjoying it. Vocals are something I've been passionate about for a long time. The drums in misery and mental suicide are both just recorded on a 40 year old drum kit that hasn't been tuned in years. As for .BSIDES. it was recorded on a shitty kit from a toy/music shop.
Thanks again for your words

DSBM has always had an extremely negative influence on me. It's strange considering I adore funeral doom but I suppose it's how that bleak atmosphere is created where the two genres differ. Funeral doom being generaly more mournful where DSBM is hateful and hopeless. I wish you luck with your band but particularly given some things going on in my life right now I doubt I'll check out what you have going on sorry.

Ah, I think it may have been the toy shop kit I was thinking of.

That's a pretty astute distinction, I think I'd agree.

I think with DSBM a lot depends on the vocal for me, some vocal just doesn't do anything for me. On the whole it doesn't affect me negatively. Usually the opposite. But I can understand your point of view. A lot of DSBM can be quite beautiful. To me anyway.

    • Sacred Reich "Awakening"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      Whichever tier of thrash metal you consigned Sacred Reich back in the 80's/90's they still had their moments.  "Ignorance" & "Surf Nicaragura" did a great job of establishing the band, whereas "The American Way" just got a little to comfortable and accessible (the title track grates nowadays) for my ears.  A couple more records better left forgotten about and then nothing for twenty three years.  2019 alone has now seen three releases from Phil Rind and co.  A live EP, a split EP with Iron Reagan and now a full length.

      Notable addition to the ranks for the current throng of releases is former Machine Head sticksman, Dave McClean.  Love or hate Machine Head, McClean is a more than capable drummer and his presence here is felt from the off with the opening and title track kicking things off with some real gusto.  'Divide & Conquer' and 'Salvation' muddle along nicely, never quite reaching any quality that would make my balls tingle but comfortable enough.  The looming build to 'Manifest Reality' delivers a real punch when the song starts proper.  Frenzied riffs and drums with shots of lead work to hold the interest.


      There's a problem already though (I know, I am such a fucking mood hoover).  I don't like Phil's vocals.  I never had if I am being honest.  The aggression to them seems a little forced even when they are at their best on tracks like 'Manifest Reality'.  When he tries to sing it just feels weak though ('Salvation') and tracks lose real punch.  Give him a riffy number such as 'Killing Machine' and he is fine with the Reich engine (probably a poor choice of phrase) up in sixth gear.  For every thrashy riff there's a fair share of rock edged, local bar act rhythm aplenty too.

      Let's not poo-poo proceedings though, because overall I actually enjoy "Awakening".  It is stacked full of catchy riffs that are sticky on the old ears.  Whilst not as raw as perhaps the - brilliant - artwork suggests with its black and white, tattoo flash sheet style design it is enjoyable enough.  Yes, 'Death Valley' & 'Something to Believe' have no place here, saved only by Arnett and Radziwill's lead work but 'Revolution' is a fucking 80's thrash heyday throwback to the extent that if you turn the TV on during it you might catch a new episode of Cheers!

    • Overkill "The Wings of War"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      Full length number 19 from overkill certainly makes a splash in the energy stakes, I mean there's some modern thrash bands that are a good two decades younger than Overkill who can only hope to achieve the levels of spunk that New Jersey's finest produce here.  That in itself is an achievement, for a band of Overkill's stature and reputation to be able to still sound relevant four decades into their career is no mean feat.  Even in the albums weaker moments it never gets redundant and the energy levels remain high.  There's a real sense of a band in a state of some renewed vigour, helped in no small part by the addition of Jason Bittner on drums.  The former Flotsam & Jetsam skinsman is nothing short of superb throughout "The Wings of War" and seems to have squeezed a little extra out of the rest of his peers.

      The album kicks of with a great build to opening track "Last Man Standing" and for the first 4 tracks of the album the Overkill crew stomp, bash and groove their way to a solid level of consistency.  The lead work is of particular note and Blitz sounds as sneery and scathing as ever.  The album is well produced and mixed too with all parts of the thrash machine audible as the five piece hammer away at your skull with the usual blend of chugging riffs and infectious anthems.  


      There are weak moments as mentioned but they are more a victim of how good the strong tracks are.  In it's own right "Distortion" is a solid enough - if not slightly varied a journey from the last offering - but it just doesn't stand up well against a "Bat Shit Crazy" or a "Head of a Pin".  As the album draws to a close you get the increasing impression that the last few tracks are rescued really by some great solos and stomping skin work which is a shame because trimming of a couple of tracks may have made this less obvious.
