75. Murmuure - Murmuure - (2010)
29 minutes. all you need to get your mind blown by this album is 29 minutes. Im not even sure it's actually metal. black metal certainly has a large influence on this but theres so many sounds and genres furiously shaped into this that its hard to call it anything specific. drone here, industrial there. There is no other album that i would recommend anyone listen to if only to see how reaching the metal genre has gotten. it's dark but romantic; beautiful yet frightening. theres something ritualistic about it. It's like being at a funeral procession. except youre the corpse slowly decaying into another world.
if you've never listened to this you are missing out on one of the most astonishing albums I have ever heard. metal or not.
