Seriously.. Who hit dislike on this? I normally listen to DnB and/or less instrumental based stuff and I like this a lot. I guess whoever that was simply doesn't like music period.
takes me back to painfull times, many times society don't include us like one of them, but here we are left behind in the cold, just waiting for the final call, here we live in this era of racism,wars,hate,desolation,broken, fuck, how can fucking humanity be as ignorant as it is, but i guess this is just the real life, FTW,FTS,FUT,FUA, it goes on and on "live",sdrawkcab
Why is everybody so much talking about post-rock influences in Black Metal, while just can't find those influences. It's bit more rocky, I agree. But post-rock is so much more different, I can't here the dynamics and progression, nor the melodies to be found in post-rock, in none of those bands, that claim to play post-rock influenced Black Metal.
That's true, but alcest's vocals remind me a little of the ones in sigur ross, just lower pitched, but it's a personal appreciation anyway.
I know fen, for example, doesn't sound much like GSY!BE or explosions in the sky, but their music recreates that feeling of in immensity and the emphasis on calm atmospheres listened for the first time in post rock composition - so i think that's the reason of the comparison.
But we must admit that even the term "postrock" isn't all that clear
this is amazing. but to me, this song individually, isnt very atmospheric, most of their music is. just this song, the drums makes it almost melodic. somthing you would wanna sing along to. just my ears and opinion though ;)
ahh....fail...where did you get to see those 3? two of my favorite artists, and a third (fen) whom is very good as well!! Living in the state of Washington USA sucks.....no black metal over here....
Check out Wolves In The Throne Room if you have not heard of them already...excellent Black Metal from Washington USA. Three full lengths out and i highly recommend them all!
Much agreed to all, but I am still confused as to what you mean by "dornenreichs support." I understand that you mean that you did not actually see dornenreich live?
thanks for the recommendations. I will dig in. though they are american, neither they nor any other black metal bands have come around my little part of washington... Mayhem came awhile back which was nice. But the presence of a single band only leaves one hungry for more. *grumble*
I believe that more than fen, the originators of this movement were bands like shining in the begining with their IV release, and then much strongly band like lifelover or amesoeurs and alcest

I quite liked that actually. Sounds different, mysterious, much like the rest of the song and indeed the genre.

Agreed. Agalloch's Ashes Against the Grain had this problem for me too. Fantastic 5 star album regardless, but man if only the drums had reverb!

Maybe voices sounds like Agalloch, but i think there is a big difference between these bands... Agalloch are way better I think.

Because of the style of the clean vocals, and because some sections do sound like post-rock, although i agree with your observations.
I think the band that sounds the most post-rock influnced is alcest, specially Souvenirs d'un autre monde
Akhin 2 years ago
Clean vocals has nothing to do with post-rock, probably 90 percent of those bands don't even have vocals. What do you see as post-rock actually?

That's true, but alcest's vocals remind me a little of the ones in sigur ross, just lower pitched, but it's a personal appreciation anyway.
