The concept of what most people seem to be getting out of this is possibly a nice idea, but I think the way he puts it to use doesn't work well. At the very least it's not a full-on copycat. I think people are mostly lured in by the combination of the "black metal" (which is really more post-metal than anything) and "spirituals" tag.Haha, the friend who recommended it to me actually got it from that Schammasch post you mentioned. So the circle closes.
Personally I find myself digging a lot of music where elements from different genres are combinated (as mentioned Igorrr, Hesus Attor or Fantômas, for example), so I didn't need to get "lured" into it. :-) But I scarcely explore music via Bandcamp and such anyway.
When you say "not a full-on copycat", what exactly are you referring to? Is there any similar stuff out there? Would like to listen to that as well :-)
