Evrope Ov Ólde

These songs make me think of times so old that none of us were there to experience them. The criteria for the inclusion of a song are so personal here that there's a high chance you think something should be on here and I might love the same song you're thinking of but I would still not put it on here.

I don't like Varg btw

1.Enslaved - Vikingligr Veldi
2.Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
3.Satyricon - Dark Medieval Times
4.Windir - Arntor
5.Bathory - Hammerheart

Systematic Desensitization: Black Metal Edition

For many, some of the more extreme types of metal can be challenging to penetrate. I'll admit that my first time listening to Burzum was nearly the equivalent of listening to a buzz-saw. But over time, I found my ears became acclimated, so to speak. All of the beauty and subtlety within became more and more apparent. Now I find listening to Darkthrone to be little different from listening to Vivaldi. Okay, maybe that is an overstatement, but you get the idea. The point of this list to help those looking for a more gradual path from unkvlt to kvlt, if you will. IHopefully it provides some assistance. The top represents some of the more mainstream, well-produced (but still solid) releases, while working your way down results in a stripping away of sound quality, melody, and radio-friendly content. The list ends with a mixture of gritty second wave and mentally challenging avant guarde stuff. This is far from comprehensive, so feel free to hit the forums for some deeper cuts. I also welcome thoughts on reordering as this was no easy task for one set of ears.

1.Dimmu Borgir - Death Cult Armageddon
2.Melechesh - Enki
3.Enslaved - Axioma Ethica Odini
4.Immortal - All Shall Fall
5.Dimmu Borgir - Enthrone Darkness Triumphant

The Rarest CDs In Jiri's Kollection

The following CDs are the as the title states, "The Rarest CDs In Jiri's Kollection". However, there are two LP sets, so the title is ultimately lying. Anyway, these CDs have ineffable sentimental and "pride for owning them" value, as well as monetary value. I have listed them in order of "pride" importance; meaning the first is the most adored by Jiri and the last is least adored by Jiri, but still a rare artifact. That said, anything ultra rare in Jiri's kollection was examined and placed into the list below. Enjoy.

1.Root - Kärgeräs
2.Chthonic - Where The Ancestors' Souls Gathered
3.Ulver - The Trilogie - Three Journeyes Through The Norwegian Netherworlde
4.Sigh - Infidel Art
5.Sigh - Ghastly Funeral Theatre

After A Year Of Metal: The Albums With The Biggest Impact

It's nearly been a year since I've started listening to metal. I've listened to many albums since then, but it took me some time to get used to some genres, band ideologies and listening to full albums. This is a list of albums that had a big impact on the way I perceive metal. It is NOT a favorite album list as I don't still frequently listen to some of the listed albums anymore. Ordered by impact level.

1.Agalloch - Ashes Against The Grain
2.Suffocation - Pierced From Within
3.Immortal - At The Heart Of Winter
4.Agalloch - The Mantle
5.Edge Of Sanity - Crimson
