@brettolovesbeer Silenius of summoning handled the vocals in abigor from 94 to 99. So that was a good call by you. Also the cover art for orkblut is taken from Tolkien in which summoning borrows from heavily.
@brettolovesbeer i do like the Tolkien theme - the passing of grey company on Minas Morgul (my 6 year old sons fav song haha) is about the death of Gandalf the grey....the guy releases some seriously good music!!!

@ziomalfilms That is a very rough generalization you make about American black metal. At least in my opinion there are many good BM bands from USA ( Wolves in the Throne Room, Chaos Moon, Judas Iscariot, Nachtmystium, Velvet Cocoon, Cobalt, Xasthur and probably more...)
Really? I used to listen to them when I was young, Stomblast was a pretty cool album... Guess they're crap now? I don't know i don't even bother looking them up.
Shagrath his growl is screwed up big time.. dimmu isnt even together anymore.. mustis and vortex are out.. dimmu sucks these days.. old days were the best.. But summoning stays king.. no matter what band you compare it to..
Dimmu Borgir is one of the finest Symphonic Black Metal bands of all time. I fucking love all of their albums, though I wasn't too keen on In Sorte Diaboli a few songs were pritty fucking good such as "The Serpentine Offering". Though I'd like to stick with my fucking "Death Cult Armageddon" or "Puritanical Euphoric Mismanthropia".
WITTR's new material (based on the EP that i heard) is a definite step down. it propels them more out of the realms of black metal and more into like atmospheric indie rock.
I think it´s wrong to say that america has ruined the genre. That a band like von who´s american what a huge insperation they have been for the primitive bm style here in scandinavia.. Though I think von is also the only great bm band from america..
Bathory and Hellhammer were the pioneers of Black Metal (or even Venom) . Besides that, Satyricon weren't really the first in the norwegian Black Metal scene: It was the band Mayhem in the 80's.
@Viriatus I think Celtic frost has to be included in the creation process of black metal as well. I only mentioned satyricon because of how their sound has changed over the years. They are closer to the end of the first wave or beginning of the second.
it makes so mad!! that bands like these r underated in the world black will live on in our hearts ~~~~post this on every vid and advertise for summoning~~~
its a shame that bands like cradle of filth and dimmu borgir have made a bunch of idiots think that they are black metal. america has ruined the entire genre.
Ur a dumbass. First off dimmu borgir is from norway, and cradle of filth is from england. America has spawned black metal bands such as Wolves in the throne room, Xasthur, Levianthian, etc. u dont know shit. SUmmoning is epic win
yeah and those bands are huge, arent they? piss off george fisher loving faggot. and when did i say dimmu and CoF was american. i said america has ruined them. and pussies like you still buy their dumbed down version of black metal.
to be fair, they ruined themselves. striving for commercial gain and wider audiences. COF and Dimmu have always been shit in my opinion.
listen to VON, Black Funeral, Averse Sefira, Demoncy, or Absu to get a taste of real US black metal. those bands' contributions to the genre cannot be overlooked.
yup! dityrottencromag is right! those bands ruined themselves. And about america- american popculture turn people's brain into water, and the biggest diller of this shit is MTV!!! I'm so fuckin happy that bands like summoning dont chase after money. Money can ruin everething!
no i dont i fucking hate dimmu borgir and cof. ur a fucking retard. why would i listen to wolves in the throne room and those shitty bands. wolves in the throne room, and levianthian arent huge. goddammit
You're a disgrace to music, genre-humping-kid. So you're saying you're the judge of what genre is black metal now? Grow up please, Dimmu Borgir still is black metal you can't stick to.
@lilweezy1984 Wasn't it European bands that ruined their own genre of music. From what I remember, bands such as dimmur borgir wanted money over anything. That's why I saw them trying to sell a pair of shoes in a metal magazine......
