This is Melting Snow Reveals Our Blood, the rarest Intra Tenebrae release, through Darkness Shade Records . It was released on ultra limited cassette (8 copies) and sold to a select few people in the UKBM scene.
This is our first recording, we released it as a split tape with anchor rites from brooklyn, but i don't have their side of the split but its mostly just our demo anyway. We actually were a two-piece when we recorded this and are now working on becoming a three-piece so hopefully we'll be able to make more stuff in the near future and further develop our sound.
Our songs are also on www.stereokiller.com/drudgery in case you wanna listen to them before you spend time downloading it.
This is a nice release. It has some nice melodic passages, has a very powerful presence, and can do some great things. Just get a better snare sound.
Decent raw black metal from New Jersey. There is some pretty good riffage here, and its not a single monotone beat.
Pretty decent black metal with flourishes of death metal. The songs have decent use of keyboards, without becoming cheesy or symphonic or just fucking lame. What is lame is the cover that is included/have on their bandcamp site. It has tour dates on it, so I am using another of their logos with it.
Vestiges formed in January of 2010 as a two-piece band. Influenced by hardcore, black metal, crust, screamo, and post-rock, the band set out to incorporate elements of each genre to articulate their message both musically and lyrically. A third member was added to the band shortly before entering the studio to record The Descent Of Man. The band and a filmmaker are currently in the process of producing a film to visually capture the theme of The Descent Of Man. The Descent Of Man follows the creation, the evolution, and the eventual annihilation of mankind. Today, we find ourselves hoping to reverse the damage that we have done and struggling to sustain what little earth we have yet to rape repeatedly. We validate this existence with stories that justify our behavior and our role in the natural world. The promise of salvation in a land we have yet to see has clouded our judgment in a land that is right before our eyes. Industrialization, militarization, overpopulation, theism, specieism, and nihilism are regarded as evolution and progress. Our greed and ignorance have been celebrated and our past has been forgotten. We were meant to be a part of nature. We were not meant to conquer nature. We were given life and we have done everything in our power to bring death upon everything in our path, including ourselves. There will be horrifying consequences for what we have done.
This is an interesting release. If you are looking for the blackened crust chaos of Martyrdod or Dishammer, this isnt what you are looking for. However if you are looking more towards a black metal that hybridizes with the epic crust that bands like Fall of Efrafa play, this is a pretty damn spot on choice.
Our good friend Nick from Disguster sent me this earlier. He is playing the drums like a fucking brute here. Raw, punked out black metal that catches the ethos of the first wave without sounding hokey.
DownloadDisclaiming it now: this isn't black metal. However, I can't record a god damn thing without a bit of black metal showing up in the sound. This is, as some of you know, an EP by Wholy Failure, another act I am involved with. The other WF releases are harsh ambient/noise, but this one is a Shoegaze/Post Punk hybrid, and as always, spicy little hints of BM always flavoring the mix. I hope some of you freaks enjoy it.
Shit. This is a great fucking record. Melodic, but not cheesy. Emotive, without being "depressive". Yellow Eyes take modern black metal, add a bit of post rock and chaotic hardcore influence, and create a great record. This is their first, not even fully available yet. So download it and enjoy.
Great fucking raw atmospheric black metal out of Chicago. It sounds like the Lurker of Chalice lp coated in more reverb and with occasional choral vocals.
Another terrific EP by one our favorite newer bands. This is gonna be his last release before his final LP, "Beyond Her There are Glorious Swells". Terrific mid to slower paced black metal with powerful vocals and lyrics that celebrate their own culture, instead of celebrating the nordic influence. Damn great release and while I can't wait for BHTAGS, I want him to keep producing music.
Download: MFPunky d-beat driven black metal with excellent production and composure from Greece. Too bad this is their only release. Bassist and drummer play in Dodsferd, as well as a handful of other Greek bands. Seriously though, one of the best black metal releases that encompasses anything punk.
Raw dirty crust infused black metal from that Ancestors guy, good shit!
This is basically Urfaust with a folkish feel, good stuff, some metal and some ambient providing an all together enjoyable listen.
Thanks neighbors a block away that don't password protect your wifi, I can't upload shit. Don't worry though shitnuggets, the blackness will live on.
In keeping with this being a non-traditional post, here is a video for the last song on the last Auspicium record that's coming out on 9th meridian this March.
Excellent atmospheric black metal, fuzzed out ethereal music of the highest quality!!!
After some changes within the band and 4 years rest, Negură Bunget return. Good album, but a bit too much folk stuff if you ask me. Feels like a watered down Om (which i think is one of the top 5 greatest black metal albums of the 2000's).
First and only demo from this forgotten Croatian project; black metal in the vein of the classic nordic masters, very enjoyable release!
Also features a cover of Darkthrone's "Transilvanian Hunger".
The people have spoken and here's Trails of Anguish's first EP. The first track is a bonus that they added on for the second addition abroad (ironically enough, it's probably the worst track on the ep).
Canadian tech-melo whatever black metal that's amazing. I'll upload similar projects by the members in a bit.
Long broken up, Trails of Anguish were an interesting band who released two great eps. They're very similar (in terms of style, band members, etc) to Nefastus Dies and have friends in the French-Candian metalcore sceen (Despised Icon, on Dissonance, etc). I dig the shit out of this band. Hard to label, but I'd say melodic/technical black metal. Just give it a shot before you make any presumptions because I know it would sound like something I'd hate. But the vocals are amazing and the riffs are absurdly catchy and pleasing; not to mention this drummer is insane.
Here's the second ep, I'll upload the first if you guys dig it.
This is raw. Not "recorded in an analog studio" raw. This is recorded in a robotic dumpster, that is getting anally raped by another dumpster without lube, into a boombox on the external mic raw. In fact, I have no fucking clue how it sounds due to how raw it is. I do know that it's pretty sweet and if you like the BTC bands, you'll probably like this.
Its been a while and I have finally got started on the huge backlog of submissions we have. Thought I'd start with something that is really good. ED is from Texas. They play nice and crusty black metal. Not as d-beat reliant as some crusty black can be, you can't help but think of Craft and their brand of misanthropy with this demo.
