Keeping a Darkthrone gig low key may prove difficult!

You'd probably have to make it more of a "Fenriz and Nocturno Culto on the same stage" type thing rather than specifically a Darkthrone gig, but it would be cool to see. I like how a lot of the guys from that period (92-3) have now grown up and are just doing what they want to do, rather than carrying on with the whole silly "none more kvlt" nonsense. I love the last few Darkthrone releases for that reason. Ted actually looks like a pretty decent frontman, in a relaxed sort of way, and I think a few shows with him and Fenriz banging out whatever they feel like playing would be fantastic.

A few Black Metal clips that somehow all ended up being bands beginning with 'B'...

Behexen
Beherit
Blasphemy
Bestial Warlust
Baxaxaxa
Barathrum

Blut Aus Nord - Epitome

You tube tagged as Avantgarde Black Metal

[Gompo]

Blut Aus Nord is sometimes amazing, definitely one of my favourite Black Metal bands - Beginning with 'B', amyway!

[Gompo]

Going to the other end of the alphabet, I'll be seeing these in a couple of months. There won't be much love here but these have been one of the biggest bands in the 'underground' the last couple of years:

Urfaust - Ein Leeres Zauberspiel

Not heard of them before, but pretty interesting take on things. Reminds me a little of of some of Fenriz's Isengard stuff in places, although it has a much cleaner sound. May well have to investigate further, as that's most definitely my Black Metal cup o' necro tea

[hornet]

Right, enough Black Metal for now, let's have Destruction covering Motorhead.

Not quite as fierce as Sodom's take on Ace of Spades, but still pretty decent.

I only ever got about two songs into Hostmorke before I had to turn it off, because of the vocals ,that was 10+ years ago though. I can just about tolerate the Urfaust vocals but it took a while to acclimatise, the music is first class though.

A bit of funeral doom.

Today I've been mostly listening to Killing Joke (well, I am going to see them on Saturday ).

In particular, this brought a smile to the journey home, esp. given the day I had at work...

Some bands you might enjoy, if indeed you don't already :-

Skepticism
Thergothon
diSEMBOWELMENT

"Enjoy" probably not the right word...perhaps "appreciate"?

[hornet]

After funeral doom, what better than some Lawnmower Deth?

[hornet]

And back on the Black Metal with Mortuary Drape. Italian band, but has a very Greek / South American feel to it. Feels like Mystifier and Necromantia rather than the usual Norwegian sound. Like it a lot.

Excellent.

"Steven says we've got to say hello to everyone from Long Eaton."

Another relic from twenty (fark! I'm old!) years ago.

Dark Angel - The New Priesthood

The lyrics of this one floored me at the time.

An Ancient Inherited Shame

Not quite "Scream for me Long Beach Arena!" is it I still listen to "Ooh Crikey!" all these years later and it still makes me chuckle every time. Brilliantly silly record.

I note they're playing a Christmas show (Dec 15th) at The Garage in Islington. Given their recent antics (crowd surfing races, acoustic ukelele interludes, snails of metal and on-stage Satanic trampolining) I have a feeling that could approach epic levels of silliness, so I really ought to sort out a ticket. Would mark 20 years since I last saw them!

4arm - Submission for Liberty

This is actually alright. Vocals (and the rest) are a bit Hetfield-esque but I can't really complain. I've listened to the album this track comes from and for what it is, quite enjoyable.

[satan 59]

Ooo like that, never heard of them before. As you say, very Hetfield which I like.

[motorizer]

New overkill song :-)
