Further proof that France do own the world's finest black metal bands.

Spanning black metal and industrial/ambient, Vindsval has created an absolute monolithe in post bm. He began with the title 'Vlad' before changing the name after two demos and creating the much loved 'Ultima Thulee' which really put them on the map. As his career progressed he experimented with industrial and ambient and has carved the now highly stylised and distinctive Blut Aus Nord sound.

Hey, thanks for the quick reply . I will listen to all of those you mentioned, but seeing as i love the industrial/black style of TWWTG, i would rather listen to this style than the meloblack Albums. But who knows, maybe their earlier Albums are just as interestin to me.

Anytime.

In terms of earlier albums, the one that you could probably skip is Mythical Beast Of Rebellion, which is flat out uninteresting. Ultima Thuree may vary, though I personally don't care for it. If you like it or want something like it, but better, check out The Eye, which features the main guy from BaN.

In that case, you should definitely check P.H.O.B.O.S band. Kinda like TWWTG on its industrial moment played at glacial pace.



I personally prefer their (or his) 2nd album but this one is closer to BaN.

Well I have different opinion than Lit., Mystical Beast can be rather nice listen if you get used to it from the start, repetitive but destructive at the same time. But Ultima Thulee, I think it puts all the Memoria Vetusta releases in the pocket, it does not get any better regarding atmospheric black metal, if you get into it even TWWTG will seem inferior.

I quoted the whole message but it was not really pointed at you but at Nick so that he would check those albums that you seem not to like so much.

I know, right? I feel MV I is quite close to some Bathory and maybe Burzum (not very well versed in either) but I've never come across anything like the other two.

I agree with him... Specially when someone implies that BANs debut is superior to TWWTG. Jeez.

The Vindsval camp has been pretty silent lately. Where are the Liber IV, 777 IV and Memoria Vetusta IV records?

777 IV

It will probably never happen, because it was just a trilogy The other options are still possible though.

Well, he said MV IV and a another album ("La Lumière Sous Le Monde") would be coming out next year. As would the first album of the Yərû?əlem project (with the drummer of Sinmara/Wormlust).

I think Vindsval is prolific enough

Pretty happy to go for a while without new stuff from BaN tbh. The quality of recent stuff is the lowest it's ever been.

He said 777 is not a trilogy sometime back in the fb page, probably you would see if you could scroll down all the way back to sometime last year but I'm too lazy atm to do anything.

So, for anyone expecting more industrial/black BaN, there is bad news:

https://www.debemur-morti.com/en/news/493_interview-with-vindsval.html

As I said earlier I think I have reached my goals with this industrial approach of Black Metal and I have no desire to redo what I have already done. To compose this kind of music becomes a reflex, an automatism, an obvious approach, it becomes much too easy. I can compose an album in this vein in just a few days today as this aesthetic is familiar to me and I do not want to fall into this facility. I want and need to get out of this comfort zone. "Deus Salutis Meae" was an end of a cycle. I have just finished the composition of the next BLUT AUS NORD, which turns out to be very far from this profoundly obscure universe in which BaN has been bathing for years. It is the beginning of a new era.

It is what it is. More importantly: "I have finished the composition of the next BaN". BRING IT ON BOY.

That's good news really. I don't think there's any more mileage in the older approach of Blut Aus Nord now. There's no point sitting around waiting for another TEoAM or The Work, as it's not going to happen again. I really hope he varies up his production techniques to something a bit more analogue sounding as Yeruselem was too sterile.
