I decided to start a thread on emerging Black Metal artists a while ago, but I feel like starting a new inclusive one. I will add more artists to the lists as I find them, and I encourage you guys to do the same.
First Artists:
Pale Chalice
Woe
Ascension |

Black Metal isn't obscure, pleb. Also, I find new artists in the black metal to be very sterile and insincere.
However, Woods of Infinity, Peste Noire, Deathspell Omega, Von are the only "modern" black metal groups I can think of I really like.. even then, this is only a handful of artists and black metal is a genre that's filled with many artists..
Also, I've reached a new plane of snobbishness; move aside, /mu/. |

| There are some good new age black metal artists but I don't find the genre to be obscure. |

At least admit that the Black Metal scene isn't half as active as the Metalcore or even Death Metal scenes. |

| So? That doesn't really mean anything anyway. I also hate how modern black metal groups just sound so.. so.. clean. Yeah, that's the word. Can't take a little human messiness and rawness with your fancy riffs? Come on. |

| Yeah Black metal isn't really all that active if you compare it to Metalcore, Death metal, Deathcore, and such. @Allyourbase, quite a few of the black metal bands that are Modern that I listen to aren't clean sounding. Trou Noir isn't clean sounding, I can't really say for Clair cassis but they are ambient black metal too so they do use lots of distortion. The cleanest sounding black metal group I listen to is Morkt hedensk but eh, he does make good music. |

You don't delve much into the Black Metal scene, do you? |

| On a more on-topic note, Metal Injection is a great source for Death Metal and Black Metal. |

| Black Pyramid is a pretty good example of an emerging Black Metal group with messy riffs. |

| Encyclopaedia Metallum is good, but I don't really like the interface. Metal Injection is just hilarious, sometimes. |

And you don't get what I mean, do you? This is a completely different anagram, but take Megadeth's new album Th1rt3en for example, "The big 4 are finally making a comeback!" You gotta mix a little bit of truth into lies to make them work.
I'm not stupid enough to be conservative and I'm not ashamed enough to be a white male to be liberal, so politically I don't really have a dog in the fight. But once you start taking cues from the tea party for lyrical inspiration, you're in trouble. I dunno--when I think thrash metal I don't really think "invest in gold, Obummer is the antic****!"
Production-wise: vacuum cleaner sterile. (NOTE: I don't like my music like that if you didn't know. Music shouldn't sound like it was recorded in a vacuum; everything at one time once sounded modern for its time and that's the way it should stay.)
It's not radio rock, great, and it's not nu-mall-whatever, wonderful. But let's not deem something a success if it's better for what it's not than for what it is. |

| I plan on making black metal. :P But I might wait until I get a bass, i'm not so sure, i'm okay with black metal vocals but i'm even better with Death metal. I'm not so used to doing high screams like how they do in Black metal. I did make one at one point and put it on youtube but I later deleted it because it was horrible, I recorded it at a friends house and we aren't allowed to do vocals like that in the house, so I had to do them in a sort of whisper so yeah I couldn't let it out much. |

Is there something intrinsically wrong with politically-inspired lyrics, and since when did Tea-partiers claim that Obama was the antichrist? |

| You still don't get it.. Maybe it's because I miss their "[words]... [words]!?" album titles or because Rust in Peace was one of the most elegant marriages of technical wizardry and clarity of vision (substance, if you will) in metal, but I just think Megadeth would've been better off if they didn't mar themselves with such phony "political messages" in their lyrics now. I have spoken. |

"Such phony 'political messages'"
I don't like or dislike the Tea Party, but that statement betrays your bias.

Metal informed by national identity (political views, etc.) and culture is nothing new. Bathory did it in the 80s with Blood Fire Death, and ever since then, it's been the genre's go-to thematic source besides horror movie gore and S@t@nism.. It's not the 80s anymore, and there's now a dichotomy of bands who portray their culture and views in a mature and thoughtful way (e.g. Rotting Christ, Burzum) and those who accessorize their views as a marketable novelty (e.g. Amon Amarth, Finntroll, European folk metal in general). Despite the unfortunate comic book flamboyance of their cover art, new Megadeth are notable for leaning closer to the former category than anything. But they're still on the fence.
Also, this discussion between us is really going nowhere. |
