I have had no contact with BM at all before but since ive gotten to know you I feel like it is my obligation to listen carefully to these songs and try to understand them. To me BM is like opera. Big feelings and big expressions. Nothing held back.'

I enjoy this song. It puts me in "fantasy-esque" landscapes.

I'm an RPG geel. :)

Very well analyzed, that is my interpretation as well. Raw feelings and emotions, released with full force and with no regard for musical and expressional boundaries. This, to me, is a tragic yet extremely passionate and touching hymn to the forest, the mighty winter and the nature, away from the dismal obligations of the human society.

Listen to the part at 1:10 where the acoustic guitars come in. With all his force, he unleashes his passionate love and unsuppressed hatred with an all-releasing scream of sheer emotion: "The forest in which I sleep, is a shelter from humanity". Brilliance.

The first snow of the year has fallen yesterday in my hometown.

I took a walk at the evening while listening to "Royaume De Glace".

Just a perfect day.

@daneliuk91 then, i highly recommend you try Threne, by Sui Caedere. Not only the best Canadian black metal band in my opinion, but one of the best black metal albums i've ever heard.

good song writng + touching atmosphere + harrowing vocals + wretched lyrics (emile nilligan poems)

P.S. Im really pumped to see sum wicked BM coming out of canada since im canadian. #+}

Theres nothing that describes the pain in his vocals and the melodic break down of the guitar... myself being a guitarist and musician of all metal am captured by the epicness.

@ScrabbitTheRabbit That's because Venom doesn't use incoherent screams and avoids obnoxious drum beats. It's more or less early goth and metal fused.

And Venom has plenty in common with Satyricon which is modern black metal so it's not that different.

What has changed over time is the iconic vocal style of black metal and an added emphasis on melodic elements (which to me isn't very "black").

Speaking of Satyricon though, that's another band that's a hell of a lot better than this one.

... and not find Venom abrasive. It makes literally zero sense. They're not even the same kind of black metal, what Venom play is very different to what would later become recognized as black metal.

@Knarf009 I say "tame" because it is NOT noisy in the slightest. I mean, fuck! Venom played with far worse timing, MUCH more abrasive production and far more extreme, less melodic music. To use your "normal person" argument again, if you showed this, then Venom to a "normal" person, this would come out more favourably because it's actually consonant. This isn't to say I don't like Venom, but seriously, you MUST be trolling. Nobody can find anything abrasive about this (no not even CYMBALS)...
