Summoning - Old Mornings Dawn (2013)





Genre: Atmospheric/Epic Black/Folk Metal
Quality: MP3@128MBPS
About: Apologies for being away so long and thank you to all who continue to follow me! Here is the album we've all been waiting for, for seven years. Unfortunately the quality is not perfect, but what do you expect a full MONTH before release. I WILL be buying this on Vinyl. And I recommend you do the same.

Opvs Leviathan - Dark Reborn of Frozen Souls (2003) (Split with Assur (Col))




Genre: Epic Melodic Black Metal
About: This is a really full and epic sounding band from what is essentially a demo, as well as their only release. You will find epic 8-12 minute songs with evolving themes throughout these songs, and raw yet epic vocals and guitars, driving drums... Yet a completely pitiful 32 listeners on last.fm!

This is their only release, a split with "Assur" who I have also never heard of before. Edit: Added Assur because it is pretty awesome as well.

Tagged as "Opus Leviathan" because it is by far the more popular tag on last.fm, but I am not sure which one is correct... Also, for tag police, track titles cut short for who knows why, I fixed it after uploading, sorry.

Austere (Aus) - Bleak... (Austere/Isolation Split)





Genre: Depressive Suicidal Black Metal
About: Austere has a fairly driving beat, and high pitched screams, and Isolation has a similar beat but lower, calmer vocals, and also has some acoustic parts. It is a 6 song album, but each song averages about 10 minutes, so it is an hour of screaming DSBM glory.

Austere (Aus)
1. When Even Tomorrow Looks Away 13:52
2. Instrumental 01:52
3. There's Nothing Left 13:36
Isolation (Deu)
4. From Nowhere... 05:45
5. Mosaic 16:08
6. ...To Nowhere 08:23
Total playing time 59:36

Far Beyond - Songs Of Hope And Sorrow (2009)




Genre: Black Metal (with clean vocals this time)
About: A long awaited comeback EP (well, not for me because I just found out about them yesterday, and the album was already out :D ) from this amazing one man band. At first listen, it seems a bit underwhelming compared to their previous album. But he is supposed to release another full length before Summer 2010, so I will be anxiously awaiting that.

Far Beyond - An Angel's Requiem (2005)




Genre: Melodic Black Metal, Speed Metal(ish)
About: Incredibly, this is a one man band. Yet it has one of the most full-sounding black metal atmospheres I have ever heard. And the melodies are simply amazing. I can't describe this properly in words, just download it.

Austere - To Lay Like Old Ashes (2009)





Genre: Melodic Depressive Suicidal Black Metal with Emo infuences (not kidding...)
About: Another great album, but they must be getting bored with Black Metal because towards the 2/3 mark of this album, they switch to emo vocals. Which is... interesting... But you can come to your own judgement.

Pagan Reign - Discography (with correct English tags)



Genre: Pagan Folk Black Metal
About: Pagan Reign (Rus) is proof that good music is made in russia. This is just enthralling pagan metal. Similar to most other pagan metal, Ensiferum, Moonsorrow, etc, but with a unique touch. The first album sounds rather demo-ey and crude (though with good recording), but by the later albums they found a really great atmosphere for themselves... then broke up D:< ... Anyway, If you get this anywhere else it'll probably be weird non-existant characters like "Đŕäĺăŕńň" or Russian, so enjoy :)... With the exception of the EP is in Russian, I can't find the translations.

[Discography] Azeroth (Rus) - Symphonic/Melodic Black Metal




Genre: black metal, melodic black metal, symphonic black metal (later)
About: They released 4 albums within 4 years and then split up. I don't know why, because they were amazing. And the vocalist came straight out of hell with the most evil black vocals i have heard. Not some pussy suicide "omg im in pain" vocals, either. It's grating, rough, and black. They also did a cover of Metallica's "The Thing that Should Not Be" in a Symphonic BM style (which, as far as i can tell is not on an album, but I'm uploading that as well).

Their raw talent can be heard on their "Live in Polygon" album, which also serves as a best-of compilation of sorts. The recording quality is very good as well. So, if you only want to get one for now, I'd say get that. (But I recommend you get them all!)

These albums are extremely difficult to find, legal or otherwise... In fact, it is very difficult to find any information about this band at all. Metal archives is about the only website with any information.

Included:
Azeroth (Rus) - Chasma Pelorion (1997) (~215 kbps mp3)
Azeroth (Rus) - Doctrine Of Dark Forest (1998) (320 kbps mp3)
Azeroth (Rus) - Gallery Of Dreams (1999) (256 kbps mp3)
Azeroth (Rus) - Live In Polygon (2000) (320 kbps mp3)
Azeroth (Rus) - The Thing that Should Not Be (Metallica Cover) (192 kbps mp3)

Svarti Loghin - Empty World (2008)




Genre: Black Metal, Melodic Black Metal, Atmospheric Black Metal, Depressive Black Metal
About: A surprisingly melodic, depressive black metal band. This is really unique stuff because usually dsbm is pretty monotone.

The title track is actually a quite upbeat song. Something most people probably won't notice... There is a riff at about 7:00 in the title track that is taken from "Here Comes the Sun" by The Beatles... Took me by surprise just now. The whole song I think is based loosely on that track.

Full reviews.

Der Weg einer Freiheit - Der Weg einer Freiheit (2009)




Genre: Black Metal, Melodic Black Metal, Speed Metal
About: Very nice speedy agressive, somewhat melodic black metal band. They are a new band (and by the looks of it, quite young) but I am looking forward to future releases because they show a great amount of talent.

Summoning - Let mortal heroes sing Your Fame (2001) (320 kbps mp3)




Genre: Epic Black Metal, atmospheric black metal, Black Metal, Pagan Metal, Melodic Black Metal
About: This is the second most epic album of all time. It still has the same elements and epic feel of the previous album, stronghold, but they experiment a bit by adding things such as suicidal vocals in the chorus of track 2 and samples. It also has somewhat of a more melodic, folk feel.

Track 3 has this repeating spoken part "In the darkness... bind them!" and it fits so perfectly into the music

But my favorite song on the album is probably track 4. It explodes into this epic melodic powerful black riff that almost brings me to tears because it is so perfect.

Summoning - Stronghold (1999) (320 kbps mp3)




Genre: Epic Symphonic Atmospheric Pagan Black Metal
About: It's rather fitting that for my 100th post I have the most epic band and album of all time. The band is heavily inspired by the POEMS of J.R.R Tolkien rather than his books (More specifically this album is based on tales of the Nibelungs, Rhein Gold, Siegfried and Brunhild).

Every song just has this epic feeling like you're riding on the back of a Flaming Minotaur through an infinite battlefield slaying trolls while you're being fired at from a Pirate ship in the middle of a typhoon. Also, they have the best logo ever. (EDIT- I stand corrected.) If your heart is currently beating (or even if it's not) you NEED to hear this album.

More detailed reviews here

(For those wondering, the singer in track 5 is Tania Borsky, Richard Lederer's ex-girlfriend who sings for the band "Die Verbannten Kinder Evas"... that band is not metal but it has a similar epic atmosphere)

Frozen Tear - White With Frost (1995)




Genre: Melodic Death Metal, Doom Metal, Melodic Black Metal, Black Metal
About: The first and only demo (technically second, there was a demo released under the name Thorny Wreath) from this rather amazing Melodic Death/Doom metal band from finland, with some raw black sounding influences. It is quite frostbitten, as the title suggests.

Sad Legend - Searching for the Hope in Utter Darkness (EP) (2001)




Genre: black metal, melodic black metal
About: "Sad Legend's album was very different from this. It was mid-paced melodic black metal with that contained a unique mix of high clean vocals and harsh vocals. This album still contains that mix of vocals, but the music is very, very different. It's still mid-paced, but the riffs feel are a lot more simple, but that's not a bad thing at all. It still contains that huge melancholy feeling, which I totally admire.

The first song is the one that sounds more like older Sad Legend. Slower Melancholic parts mixed with high and low clean male vocals, and with simplistic keyboards on top. Not too outstanding, and also lacks a bit feeling. The second song is way better, it feels like a transformation from old to new. The riffs are excellent, yet always remaining very simple, and the feeling is huge, as usual. The only problem is that it's just NOT heavy at all... the first minute is just ocean/seashore effects, and the rest is just clean vocals with a few riffs. As a whole it could've used more harsh vocals and heavier riffage.

The finale song is awesome, and heavier. It has the unique mix of harsh and clean vocals, and the riffs are way faster, and better. If you liked older Sad Legend you'll probably like this song a lot.

Overall.... a big change, yes, but still incredibly amazing, and hopefully the next release will sound as good.... if there is one."

Drudkh - Anti-Urban (CORRECT Vinyl Rip!!!)



Genre: Melodic Black Metal, elements of Folk Metal
About: This is a fantastic EP. Drudkh means "Tree" in romanized Sanskrit

I searched for hours to find this. The common version floating around is a rip at the WRONG SPEED causing the length to be 9 minutes for each track instead of 6. Furthermore if you play it with itunes it skips at 2:50 minutes causing it to move to the next track, then that one skips too at 2:50!

If you look on Metal Archives you will see the 6 minute tracks are the correct length. Please spread this around and tell the people with the wrong version to delete it. I'd say buy it, but you literally can't buy it since it was limited to 999 copies. Enjoy!

Thanks goes to "nidhogg" for this correct vinyl rip!

Year: 2007

(Edit 07/2009- there is a CD available with the bonus box of Microcosmos. The CD rip sounds almost exactly the same as this though.)

Negură Bunget - Om (Negura Bunget - Om)




Genre: Black Metal, Melodic Black Metal, elements of: Ambient
About: This is also one of the best albums of 2006. I feel that it captures the true spirit of Black Metal. And the production is crystal-clear unlike a lot of other 'true' black metal I've heard.

"Negură Bunget is a black metal band from Timişoara, Romania. The name is taken from archaic Romanian meaning ‘Black Foggy Forest’."

The best song is "Inarborat". Starts off a bit rocky sounding but i think that was intentional. The suicidal-ish scream that happens at 2:42 and again near the end is so amazing.

Oathean - Ten Days In Lachrymation




Genre: Black Metal, Melodic Black Metal
About: Oathean is a melodic black metal band from Korea, similar to Sad Legend, Catamenia, Agathodaimon, etc. Track 11 is a cover of Ozzy Osbourne's "Mr. Crowley." Highly recommended.

Corpus Christii - Discography 2007




Genre: Black Metal, influences: Heavy Metal
About: It's classified as Black Metal, but this is pretty tame as far as black metal goes (If you want some 'trve' black metal, go listen to something like Nachtmystium). You can hear influences of basic Heavy Metal, Power Metal, and it's very melodic, as well. Surprisingly, this band hasn't changed much in style from album to album, I commend them for that. If you're unsure of where to start, try "Stabbed" from the album "Rising".

Sad Legend - Sad Legend

Sad Legend


Quite frankly, some of the best music you will ever hear. Even if you are not into Black Metal I highly recommend it. Probably start with "Nocturnal Cries of Agony" if you're new to the genre.
