The Ruins Of Beverast - Kain's Countenance Fell

[jb1563700]

Fuck. Just as you think the riff around 2:45 might get uplifting, it fucking destroys every last bit of that. Magnificent.

[windswept23]

when the darkness comsumes us ...

an amazing album ...

as all albums by Alex

[STORMLORD70]

@windswept23 The ancient days of old we go in the mind to the celtic realms of old europe before the empire of Ceaser came only if one warrior would of surrenderend.

[STORMLORD70]

Ha ha i just got this alblum from someone in Germany and my last name in a older ancient time means son of Kain.

[darktraumatika]

what a wonderful band !!! ***

[Agrimoniaful]

Alexander von Meilenwald is THE MAN !!!

[JesusPrototype]

This is Black pearl!

[MunkeyPuzzled]

wow. 3 minutes in and I feel like I've been to 100 different, dark places. This generated one of those rare 'what the hell just happened ?' moments. Excellent.

[OhOneNine]

You can tell the quality of a black metal band by HOW IMPOSSIBLE IT IS TO FIND THEIR ALBUM ONLINE.

[birthofeternity]

@OhOneNine Uh, nope. I hope you are being sarcastic.

[groovygulerod]

@OhOneNine Amazon works for me...

[JesusPrototype]

Hmmm Black/Doom.

[TheLacke]

MASTERPIECE !

[xxvomitronxx]

This makes just about everything else shit.

[tiki2188]

Atmospheric Black Metal

Post Black Metal w/e you wanna call it. This is something else

[OhOneNine]

Gruesome metal majesty.

[assiot666]

this band drenches me in cold and transcending atmosphere.. such beautiful and perfect music, and the all seeing eye on the cover :D

[thereallanders]

ya gotta love how huge this stuff is.  the atmosphere is just incredible.

[Zeloten]

sounds a bit like leviathan :O

[Blashyrkh22]

@Zeloten A more doom influenced Leviathan definitely

[tiki2188]

Awesome

[Destroyer666AU]

What's with the Illuminati bullshit on the cover :S

It was good until I realised that, lol

[VargTheWisdom]

@Destroyer666AU

Catch up on this symbolism before you post dumb shit like that.

[Destroyer666AU]

@VargTheWisdom care to elaborate, or are you just going to be an asshole

[assiot666]

@Destroyer666AU Fuck off.

[Destroyer666AU]

@assiot666 No U

[TasteyEntrails]

You are an idiot

[3brainkarnakinterlop]

i dig the first 3 mins of the song, dont get it twisted i love r.o.b. but the beginning of this cut is addictive, i think this was his best release to date myself, the production is top notch and in this case that is a positive. i dig the funeral doom aspects too, generally i dont go for that type of genre too much.

[Elite88]

What a great song, unbelivable!

[whatthemeh]

There's strong elements of doom metal in some of this album, from the little I've heard. I think theoritically black metal and doom metal would be a lame combination but this is done extremely well.

[judassab]

@whatthemeh Basically it's all the dark arts of metal coming together.

[DaleMcMutt]

@whatthemeh Definitely heavy on the funeral doom influence. I'd say this is a good mix of black, funeral doom and death. Good stuff, though. Makes me think of what Nortt would sound like with better production.

[alreadytaken334]

Does the album title mean anything?

[LinkedSnake]

When Morbid Angel meets Black Metal

[TheMotor069]

An amazing album, but I'm going to have to disagree about best Black Metal album of 09. I'm gonna have to say that Jungle Death by Black Vomit was the best for me.

[bobgray666]

HAIL MEILENWALD \m/

[Eisenberg99]

NEW ALBUM??? wohoooo!!!!

[Darkflight56]

Best BM album of 2009. 5/5

[guy12343456]

I concur, but I think Negura Bunget - Om tops this album.

But that's just my two cents.

[lezvarthok]

I know Meilenwald is much rooted in BM and in fact doesnt matter if its BM or not, but next to my confusin wether this is fitting to any category, I agree its a damn good track.

[Lazareth1985]

If anyone recieve the vynil version before me,(it has some retards), can he put the [untitled]track one youtube please?

[HarlotBug3]

There's something hypnotically unrefined and fearlessly sincere about this guy. I'm shocked and happy to learn of a new album. Thanks for posting.
