We Came Out Like Tigers

Underneath that awful band name are some solid blackened skramz.

Skáphe - s/t

To every blogger who posts music by literal Nazis and then tries to justify it: you're a fucking piece of shit.

That has nothing to do with this. Vile, otherworldly black metal/ambient/drone/doom.

October 2014 update

Shit I've been listening to lately, some of it new (and to be kept on the downlow), some of it not. Enjoy.

al-Kafir - Prozac EP (grind, powerviolence)
AN - D (death metal, grindcore, black metal)
Caladan Brood - Echoes of Battle (epic black metal, doom)
Dillinger Escape Plan - Calculating Infinity (metalcore, hardcore, technical)
Enabler - La Fin Absolue Du Monde (hardcore, crust)
Every Time I Die - Hot Damn! (metalcore, hardcore)
G - AWLOBF (industrial)
Panopticon - Roads To The North (atmospheric black metal)
TR - EN (grind, hardcore, crust, powerviolence)

Ifing - Against This Weald

Atmospheric, long form black metal along European lines (eg Winterfylleth, Drudkh) rather than Cascadian.

Thantifaxath - Sacred White Noise

Twisted, dissonant black metal.

Hexis - Abalam

What could be more or less the apotheosis of the blackened hardcore subgenre.

I - OVFTM

Riffs.

Thou Art Lord - The Regal Pulse of Lucifer

Thrashy black metal.

Chronocide - The Solitude of Man

Destructive blackened grind.

Vestiges / Panopticon Split

More stuff to make BM purists froth at the mouth.

Woe - Withdrawal

New Woe. Get it.

Dragged Into Sunlight - OCCII, Amsterdam

Recording of a live ritual.

AoP - TGAI

Heavy, weird, only tenuously related to black metal. One of the more challenging records to come out so far this year.

The Secret - Agnus Dei

Blackened, crusty hardcore. Not one original thing about this, right down to the Kurt Ballou production job and being released on Southern Lord, but it's rad as fuck.

Agowilt - Clocks Made Of Their Own Bones

Nominally black metal, with elements of doom, crust, noise, and ambient. Anarcho-primitivist lyrics. One-sided LP forthcoming. Fucking cool.

Iskra - Bureval

Blackened crust.

Shining - Redefining Darkness

Primal, bestial black metal this is not. Clean vocals, extended quieter sections, horns, there's a definite gothic element to all this. These guys show off black metal's classier side.

AN - V

ohai

Black September - Into The Darkness Into The Void

Criminally underrated epic crusty blackened death.

Ectovoid - Fractured In The Timeless Abyss

Grim, old school blackened death. It sounds like how you would expect it to, but not as boring. Muddy and evil, somewhere between Inquisition and Incantation.
