I recommend that the OP search for the tag "epic black metal", since it's the name of the sub-genre
Similar to Summoning? There's Elffor, Mirkwood, Caladan brood, Emyn Muil, Ered Wethrin, L'ordre Du Temple, Rivendell, Avathar...

Alas for something that wasn't mentioned in this thread before, I'd go with Faethon, Appalachian Winter, also Evol (from Italy)...

Hi buddy,..
I want to introduce a band from my hometown. those of Semarang, a small town in Indonesia. they are paganism
I do not really know them, but they often perform at a local cafe.
well, how do you think the music that they bring?

Thread-necro, but I was surprised to see that Summoning's finest rippoff (also known as Caladan Brood) are still active:



It's part of a tribute compilation, so fans of Summoning might want to check it.

CB isn't bad, just overrated.

They're just boring, even more than Summoning. Summoning has stuff which I like, though not that much.

It's a matter of taste. I quite like them, not overly =P

PS. WTF why did you delete half of your posts?!

True. Everyone has his own deviation

Except K7 in fact who has nothing but weird deviations all over his 47 gajillion posts.

On topic though, I'm with Mik here, CB were awful and pretty weak and feeble sounding while Summoning has some stuff that I really do enjoy eventhough I've heard only like 2.5 albums of theirs.

wtf it has to do what so forking ever written here ?

Check out Obsequiae. Pretty atypical black metal to my ears. Has a brighter tone and fits the Summoning sound with the medieval vibe. Been listening to both bands a lot lately.

Caladan Brood

Sat for 3 hours listening to this and sort of regret it.



Classic songs are missing, too much intros (Grey Havens is all you need) and most bands just copy the songs. Special mention to Caladan Brood that managed to sound like a copy/paste in every aspect and to Othalan for sounding like utter shit and ruining an otherwise great tune.

Only three songs actually did something interesting and would be worth it (#1, 2 & 14): Mesarthim (great changes and epic cosmic vibe), Druadan Forest (DOOM version of the song) and Severoth (removed the epic vibe, replaced with a darker BM sound).

This was pretty nice to listen to:
