For you guys who listened to the new Odious but missed the folk: Blackened death with lots of mesopothamic folk influences.

Akhenaten - Incantations Through The Gates Of Irkalla

Not totally avantgarde maybe, but a not so typical black metal record. Pretty much what you would expect from the cover:

Genevieve-Escapism



pscychedelic drone or something like that:



Drone metal. Still not heard the whole thing, but might be one of the better records of this genre for 2015:

Drowning Horse-Sheltering Sky

Posted the Drowning Horse one a while ago =P it's quite relaxing.

Now, that's an interesting find.

Raging sludgy, crusty deliciousness. This band have (had) a lovely sound.

Black metal combined with Pravoslavic choir music. One of my faves.

BATUSHKA - Litourgiya

Turns out this is preeety good

DREADNOUGHT - a pretty neat prog-metal/rock/eclectic band!

From their album "Bridging Realms":

So Metaldoommaster posted a link of this great band on SB some days ago and what was my surprise when I discovered they released something this year as well.
Atmospheric black.

Old Forest - Dagian

Didn't see this band mentioned here, maybe coz they don't seem to give away too much info. Though there seems to be some hype behind it.
Anyway, it's quite nice Doom/Ambient/Black. Reminds me of Urfaust mixed with Menace Ruine.

This song from the first demo is addictive:


Ván Records put out a compilation this year:

(Anybody knows why isn't my image working?)

Sometimes it just decides not to work. the sintax is correct. When it happens I go to imgur, upload the image there and paste the uploaded link, it always works.

Btw when you said Thy Catafalque singer I thought it was another Katai Tamas project =p

Well Attila Bakos sang for Tamás Kátai but now they parted ways and Attila made his own project. And how well he did!

Thanks for the explanation.

Ah sh*t, thanks Zaphod, can this be real, that I left off a slash after the HTTP? Actually I think first I tried with copying the link with http:// yet it didn't work, so I tried removing the whole http section, still didn't work and then I decided to rewrite it which I did incorrectly. Now it is correct and works, I just don't get it.

So now all is good, so if you want, modify your messages accordingly so the thread isn't about this. I hope the album will gain many fans, I really like it.

Adding another / after http:/ should do the trick.
Also, thanks for reminding me about that album, I got an email from Attila a while back but forgot to check it out.

Dunno if it's because I haven't listened to music in a week but this sounds pretty damn good indeed. And the artwork is kinda amazing too. Don't know too many black metal bands from Venezuela either.

You'd be surprised how much I don't listen to music these days =P I was with my gf's family the past week though so not much me time.

This is done by the frontman of weakling. Very lo-fi, but I like it

Dispirit-Separation

Thank you for introducing me to Dispirit! They have seemed to refresh my direness for how I feel atmospheric black has ruffed into. How they've only seem to be exist only now is an enigma for me.

I haven't listened to Dead As Dreams in years and have destined sometime this Christmas to go back to it (and also The Mantle for another long yearning reunion I mean to sweep under).

I'm about the same, it's hard when your hanging with family

I can see why you guys hate christmas then

it was actually pretty good

Nothing remotely original about this, but they have a thick sound which really turns me on, and the varying tempo changes keep it really interesting, as well as spot on songwriting. Love it.

Moloch / Wedard.....the wedard song preferably



http://selfmutilationservices.com/album/moloch-wedard

Just a 11 minute song, but it's totally worth it
Ambient black

Hashe - De Hualle A Pellín

Just realized my favourite sludge folk band released something this year

Birushanah - Makyo

Karla likes sludge?

Only experimental =]

This sounds a lot like Drudkh if it had more hysterical vocals

Dommedagsalme - Domain
