If you haven't heard this album then you have no right to judge black metal. It's an incredibly blend of folk melodies, black metal and clean vocals, progressive rock styled songs, and inclusion of samples.

Well, this piqued my interest. I've been needing a really good black metal album recently. Checking them out now...

To call Vintersorg a black metal band is kind of a misnomer. They definitely started out that way, but they have really evolved their sound over the last 10 years or so. Think of this album more like Sigh's Imaginary Sonicscape, familiar with black metal, but never outright sounding like it.

Megadeth - Rust In Peace

For some reason, I like this album better than any Metallica album I've heard. I think it's a combination of relatively shorter songs (I feel like Metallica just drones on and on, and it eventually all mushes together), a more appealing vocalist, and the overall sense that the music is more melodic than what Metallica churns out. If that makes sense

I've been re-listening to CocoRosie's Noah's Ark album. I'm pretty darn into freak folk as of late, and CocoRosie is absolutely intriguing to me.

Kekel - 1000 Thoughts of Violence

Going back through some of my more ignored avant-garde metal bands and not listening to this album more often should be criminal. It's all over the place in its sound and instrumentation, truly impossible to define and impossible to say sounds like anything else. Now if this album were to ever come up in a random playlist I would know it instantaneously.

This has stood the test of time for me a bit better than the classic Metallica albums. Part of it, as you said, is probably track lengths even though I had never thought of that. I really love the production of this album. It's so awesome. I remember the anticipation surrounding this album release, and the epic long Hanger 18 video getting hyped on MTV.

Gah, MTV... you're so old

sidewinder · 10-07-2010, 11:42 PM

You've seen the video, right? I don't think they have the long version on YouTube.

RVCA · 10-07-2010, 11:49 PM

Nope. I'm not a big music video person, but I'll go check it out
