Mondo Bungle

Cult classic album here, hard to describe the style that is presented. It's avant-garde metal purity, there's some genre blends but mostly it's just a weird display of music like you'd never heard before. The quality is low and raw, organic, atmospheric, and alien.

When I catch wind of new Skáphe it oughtta be posted. Continuing their trademark red tinted brand of black metal suffocation and drug trips gone wrong gone right.

What's happening in 2017?



Here is a somewhat thrashy and original, melodic BM album that steps it up with prog/psych influence. Very refreshing and executed awesomely. It's gotta be a contender for AOTY already.



Woe hit the scene with a classic debut album and until now have released two more quality listens. Here's another. They showed up with a distinct and clean yet ripping style.



I always rep Peste Noire and this takes a lot from them (just look at the logo). Fun and catchy stuff ranging from punk inspired stuff to full bouts of medieval folk.



I can't stress it enough, traditional black metal is just gravy when it's good.



Imagine an atmo-BM version of Portal

This could easily be one of the coolest and most solid black metal albums out there. Straight ahead stuff that takes a lot of cues from thrash metal and other old school stuff. Every riff is perfectly excellent and they're not afraid of grand epicness either

Ash Borer is a beloved project for me and the modern BM community on the whole. I know I've mentioned them in here before if not made a whole post that I can't recall right this second, but this is their most recent.

Cold of Ages cemented (or encased in ice or something) Ash Borer as a hulking wall of oppressively atmospheric black metal of the coldest and most monolithic variety, but this album here progresses a little bit by cutting some of the extended content from before (some might call it filler), as well as incorporating a broader array of stylistic badassness, with an emphasis on doom metal. It also throws in some thrashy surprises. Quality is stellar for the new-ish approach, and it all basically sounds like that album cover looks

this sounds kinda like a more raw version of Drudkh, especially in the guitar spectrum. Really nice tone

Excessively cool sounding and proficient progressive black metal with occasional forays into Native folk music that might have a description sounding like I rip them off, but my amateur music ain't even close to this stellar and thrash



Yippee

It's funny, among my small group of IRL metal friends, I'm the recommendations guy. Between Mondo Bungle, hip hop bunny hop, and a few others, I'm finding out about more quality acts than I have in a decade - kind of feel like I'm re-getting into the genre. Thanks a ton guys. My YouTube 'like' playlist has increased by a third since I came back to the boards.

A humble offering that no doubt many of you are familiar with: Abazagorath.


I feel these guys don't get the love these deserve. Their early demos and first record were a little more classic 2nd-wave, but on Sacraments of the Final Atrocity, they introduced more symphonic elements and even some punk-esque beats. Pretty evil stuff for a bunch of guys from New Jersey.

I was wondering when black metal would start hanging out with dark cabaret
