Any fans? Hard to think of a style of music aesthetically further from Jazz than black metal (maybe holy minimalism like Part or 60s textural stuff like Ligeti or Xenakis)? I dont take it any more serious than a good (or bad) horror flick
Been grooving on this one-man band, gotta love the song title
like most all the classic early 90s Norwegian church burners as well, Varg is a scumbag, but this is a great rock & roll song

Big metal fan here. I pulled my streaming history recently and discovered that over the last few years I’ve played Ihsahn more than anyone else. I’m a fan of his stuff with Emperor too.
Pretty big fan of Adam Nergal Darski’s work too.
-
Cool, been meaning to check out Isahn, you have a fav album?
there are like 6 Behemoth songs I like, but Nergal takes the Satanism stuff too seriously for my taste
-
Ihsahn can pretty much do no wrong in my ears. That said, I’ve listened to Arktis an awful lot since it was released.
-
How about Enslaved?

I prefer my metal with a safety net thanks...

But the guy in Imperial Triumphant said it's a passe concept, the groove theory is dated. What do I know.

I think that Opeth’s Blackwater Park may be where it all peaked for me.

I dont care if it's too old school or not 'extreme', but it still stands as a best metal to me.
Made In Germany, but nowhere as beloved and worshiped as in Mother Russia.
