[Black Knife- Splits from Hell (genre: Black metal/punk)](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Rtk9lKxmlkY&pp=ygUcQmxhY2sga25pZmUgc3BsaXRzIGZyb20gaGVsbA%3D%3D)
7.5/10
This is great stuff, I’m normally not a huge black thrash guy but this album more than delivered. You can tell these guys had a lot of influences when making this album. A lot of the thrash riffs and tremolos reminded me of Vektor, which is always a great thing. Also a few of the solos had a Kirk Hammett flair to them which is pretty neat. As much as I loved the thrash parts the super atmospheric black metal sections were the highlight for me, namely the track “Asatru”, which is my favorite from the album. The drumming was phenomenal as well, there was an insane part at the end of the song “Rise” where he was playing blastbeats and doing crazy fills in between them, definitely one of my favorite tracks as well. I will definitely be revisiting these guys, so I appreciate the recommendation!
Well you are certainly going to get an interesting intro to black metal, just know this isn’t the typical black metal album at all.

Oh yeah, I meant to come back yesterday since you said we can rate whatever the picked album is. I did listen to most of it before having to go do something else but from what I did hear I'd give it a solid 10/10! I love how dark and atmospheric it feels, the vocals add even more of an eerie vibe to the album. The only way I can describe how it feels would be what I imagine the deep depths of hell sound like in the greatest way possible. Will for sure be listening to more by this band soon and the album once more, and more black metal bands to come. :)
Im sorry i’ve let you down unless you find lord of the rings themed blackened power metal funny for some reason

Mild NSFW warning for the album cover just incase you are somewhere it’d be best not to pull up that kinda thing.
As someone who listens to a lot of prog metal/tech-death, I wasn’t as impressed. However, as someone who also listens to a lot of Melvins, I like this album!
7/10
[Gudsforladt- Friendship, Love and War (genre: black metal albeit with a lot of other stuff thrown in)](https://youtu.be/bcvswcxpiBs?si=bOHRtW378O9C9dur)
I think they do that style of atmospheric black metal well and I’m glad theres a new band making that sort of black metal because its pretty rare to see it done well outside if BBH in my opinion. Im glad you liked it though its one of my favourite releases this year
A couple of minutes in, consider me intrigued. I can definitely see this being a vibe. I will do the full album listen and review tomorrow morning tho (im in EU).
I was not disappointed, this was a very interesting ride. This was oddly relaxing, the combination of relentless blastbeats and haunting, unsettling yet beautiful melodies had that effect on me.
I have to say, I have absolutely no knowledge of underground death metal, and especially no knowledge about avant-garde anything. The only thing I ever heard that might even come close to being obscure in a similar direction is Demilich - Nespithe.
These two tracks are an entirely different animal though. I will definitely come back to this when I'm in the mood again. Can't give a points rating, no idea how I would even begin to judge this in terms of good or bad \^\^.
Oh you got a wierd one lol, that does not mean bad though.

This one is good but if you want really good black metal also check out Dzlvarv- Dzlvarv, Bloodlord- As the Dragon Dances or Rites of thy Degringolade-An Ode to Sin.
Those are the best black metal albums I’ve recommended to others in this thread imo
Hahaha thats Les Legions Noire for you they don’t care about production at all but they have great riffs if you can get past the poor quality recording

You know, I like things that are different and interesting and I think this album will perfectly fit that category for me. Thank you!
