Black Metal in rude health

[Circlepit]

I was looking at the moon ciadel first release. I think it's the 2 demos.
It seems to be a compilation. Twice on the track list the word poem comes up. Are they poems put to music or is it somebody spitting out rhymes ?

Another modern Polish band. Definite inspiration from traditional 90s black metal but in no way a homage act. Nature focused and natural sounding with those hard Eastern European vocals to offset the gentle acoustic passages. Top drawer stuff.

I've listened to them a couple of times but nothing sticks in the memory. I think I really wanted to lie it because of the great artwork but it sort of passed me by.  I'll have to go back to it.

Probably a controversial opinion but overly long tracks in any metal genre are never appealing to me.

Best BM album art ever is Paysage D'Hiver - Die Festung from 2009.....

Anyone who disagrees with me is a big smelly fart smoker.

I completely agree, although a good  length instrumental is grand. I find if an album has really long songs I lose interest. Not all the time mind, depends on band and style. I prefer songs to the point

Old skool BM.....

Wyrd are back in great form. Recommended if you like your BM slow and spacious.

Of course if you don't know Wyrd the debut album Heathen from 2001 is mandatory. Its a 51 minute long track though so a few of the boys above might skip it !!

 The Hulder release Godslattering.... is absolutely fantastic.
I’m in the middle of all the Dayal Patterson books and it seems nearly all the bands covered have a different definition of what black metal is.

That’s what I really love about this type of music. It’s a different thing for so many different people.
That’s true of all music but the musicians and fans are on another level of belief in what constitutes as black metal for them.

I stated previously that I’m far from an expert on this genre but to me it’s such an exciting and rewarding path to explore delving further and further into it.

A few months ago if I read a tag line in a review saying dungeon synth black metal I’d have said go on and shite.  I’ll be running around the woods supping cats blood next.
