A lot of that style, and a lot of post rock, can easily get lost in the build but not actually build to anything. It's far too easy to do that. But when it's done well, it's pretty spectacular.(04-09-2016, 07:39 PM)Iced Guardian Wrote: I really like what's happening in the US black metal scene (and spilling into parts of my country Canada). That "Cascadian Black Metal" pioneered by bands like Panopticon (another favourite from 2015), Agalloch and Wolves In The Throne Room (plus non US bands like Fen Drudkh etc.).
A lot of new(ish) bands are being influenced by that sound and making some great stuff. Bands like:
Alda
Woman Is The Earth
Skagos (from Canada)
Skagos is pretty cool, and Agalloch, though something I wouldn't define solely as black metal, is probably one of my top 5 bands. The problem with Cascadian/post-black metal to me is that it tends stumble on its own atmosphere and build-ups. At some point the songs cease to be songs and they just end up floating in air aimlessly. I like well crafted build-ups and atmospheres, but I like riffs, too. Luckily, there's a lot of bands who execute the atmospheric approach really well, like aforementioned Drudkh. I also just have to throw Gris into this conversation. Beautiful music and skilled musicians. Think of Godspeed You! Black Emperor playing black metal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWUr3JWi9ZM
And I really like Gris too. "A L'Âme Enflammée, L'Âme Constellée" is a great album. Really takes me on a journey.

Find some labels you like and explore their catalogue. Or, find some YouTube channels you like (I like Lightfox177, Atmospheric Black Metal Albums and Black Metal Promotions) and see what they're sharing.(04-09-2016, 08:13 PM)Iced Guardian Wrote: Oh I hear ya. I'm always hesitant to share too much because it becomes overwhelming, but I just can't stop!
Every time I go into a thread like this I get lost in black holes of bands. Looking them up on Metal-Archives then seeing "similar artists" and related music in YouTube.
It's never ending. But so amazing.
Haha, totally! It's a never-ending cycle! But on the other hand, I simply love finding new bands and stuff to listen to. I just can't understand people who are like "I haven't listened to anything new since year X". I couldn't live without new music.

I guess it'd be ok to post these guys here? Hail Spirit Noir. They play something like progressive/psychedelic rock/black metal. Lovely genre tags!
They're one of my favorite bands these days, according to their FB they have started to record their third album. Really excited for that one.
RE: Black Metal - Blood Music - 04-14-2016
Hail Spirit Noir is great - love both albums.

For those into black metal - I still run the Terratur Possessions USA shop. A lot of stuff just went live on vinyl today. Svartidaudi 7", Ritual Death 7", Cornigr LP, Darvaza MLP, Slidhr MLP, Sinmara DLP [Repress], Celestial Bloodshed DLP [Repress].
I don't ever post about it on the label FB, as it gets a little distracting maybe. There are color exclusives only in the Terratur USA and Terratur Norway shops.

Just listened in! Sounds great, do want! :-)
To appeal to the first posts in this thread: I got introduced to Outre's Ghost Chants last year "by accident"; I'm writing for a little underground metal magazine, and a colleague of mine did a review on that album. I loved it and bought the LP straight away.
As for Mgla: I recognise it as being decent black metal, but have to agree on the "something's missing" opinion regarding my personal taste. I can easily listen to it and would probably also enjoy them live, but I wouldn't buy their records.
Recommendations will follow once I have read the whole thread. ;-)

Missed that Veiled post - that does sound good!
