@MeatyCockandBallz actually, i LIKE the fact that they don't feel the need to put on all of that retarded corpsepaint. they are confident enough in their talent and songs that they don't feel the need to resort to the usual black-metal theatrical bullshit.

[fredmachine]

No it doesn't.

[Destronr]

black metal 'lol' 

[BathorysGraveland]

@FaeriesFuckHumans Wow, I envy your intelligence and sense after that thoughtful post.

[BathorysGraveland]

Lol, it takes more than playing ultra-fast and having blast beats to play black metal. These guys bring absolutely nothing new to the table (except a one-way trip to immense boredom) despite what the frontman says in that facepalm-inducing interview.

@ChordsFromTheVoid ok,thank's mate.i'll give them both a listen,i really like the album cover of renihilation.simple but effective.

[ChordsFromTheVoid]

@blackenedshoegazer Both albums are really great in their own ways. Renihilation is more raw and primal, while Asthethica is more technical and polished. The only thing I wish they would do is cut out the chanting intro/interlude schtick; its cool the first time you hear it and then it gets trite really quick. But really you cant go wrong with either album.

@ChordsFromTheVoid good!i really like their song arctica,may get their first album.

[ChordsFromTheVoid]

@blackenedshoegazer Definetly not christian.

[blackenedshoegazer]

@ChordsFromTheVoid yeah,i kind of half agree with you.i'm half tempted to buy liturgy's album's&give them a proper listen.but the front man really put's me off,he come's across as a real wanker.i think the drummer is outstanding though&i like their album cover's which i take into consideration when purchasing album's.

are they christian's?that's another thing i will take into consideration,i'm agnostic myself.but i don't think i really want to support christian music.

@blackenedshoegazer Krallice is excellent. I just got done listening through to Diotoma again and I really dont see alot of similarity with Liturgy. I mean sure they are both USBM but I think what each are trying to get across in their music is pretty different, and it shows

@totenrune Yhea. I really, really like this band but I think they are doing themselves a big disservice by claiming to be "black metal"; i love pure, raw black metal too but they just do too many different things on their albums to justifiably be pigeonholed into one strict genre
