Cool stuff, cheers. Have only heard a little October Falls, but not that tune and no Walknut. I spent the past few years playing in a death/thrash band and my black metal listening almost completely took a back seat.
Just love bands like BAN and like what you shared. Too many boring and untalented BM bands, where as the stuff mentioned employ some great use of musical theory like using phrygian mode instead of just aeolian all the time, unique sequencing etc. As a muso it is refreshing to hear and just about all that's worth listening to.
Love atmo BM, all BM really. Forteresse are great as well
I have that album on vinyl

Great stuff. This is something I was in that existed nearly 10 years ago. Kind of still exists as the Moribund band 'Moon'.
I posted about this guy's June 2014 album a couple of weeks ago, but lately have been more enjoying his previous work. I'm not sure why I enjoy it more, maybe it just has more of a Moonsorrow feel to it. the epic highland atmospherics are all there and perhaps more heightened but his vocals suit his music more in this album compared to his more recent album. Slightly longer songs too..
This is the full album, bar a 2 min ambient track.

Really enjoying that Saor stuff. Going to make note of it for the next time I make a haul. Don't know when that will be though because the missus says we're meant to be saving 
Spewing I don't have a tape deck anymore. Just rustled through some old stuff and found this one.

The guy behind Saor sells both albums digitally through bandcamp on facebook for between 5 & 10 pounds each. In fact. when I picked them up I even managed to forward the email onto mates who were able to download them free from the link I paid for (probably not really kosher... but still).

Just found the bandcamp page. Not a big fan of buying albums digitally but a quick search found a few distros carrying it so I'll just have to make a reminder to grab it for next time.
Nice one. 
Yeah I used to be the same, used to pride myself on not having a single burnt album on all my CD shelves. Then family life and other priorities took over and now the shelves sit in the spare room away from kids - gathering dust, whilst I listen to albums on my phone and work computer all day.
Half of them will probably never get pulled off the shelves ever again, sadly.

That's what my life has become. Settled down with the missus, about to take on a mortgage, no kids yet but finding I never get a chance to listen my old stuff I used to listen to. I reckon I would have a massive black hole in my collection where there is hardly a new BM album from the last 5 or 6 years. I don't even know what new bands are around anymore either haha and I used to pride myself on knowing the ins and outs and always had cool underground stuff when labels I was on would send out piles of promos.
Hahaha yep, this same topic was discussed in previous subsequent Bigfooty General metal discussion threads. That's the way it goes.. well for me anyway. Finger firmly on the pulse of all metal, Euro-metalfest tours, local gigs every weekend, up all hours of the night discovering new music, even DJ'ing the local weekly metal radio show for a few years. Fast forward a few years and it's all but been replaced by Mortgage, kids, family politics, work stresses etc.
Solid thread derailment, and a bit of a whinge - sorry everyone! Just down in the dumps a little lately due to having quit both my bands in one hit last month to spend a bit more time helping out at home, so let us vent a little. Last show ever tomorrow night.

No worries mate. While we're at it then, who is the band your final show is with tomorrow?
Can't be any worse than when my last band were just taking a break after getting sick of playing the same people every week, only when to start back up not include me or even tell me I found out from seeing a flyer...

That's pretty rough!
It's not as if they could start back up and exist without you eventually finding out, if nothing else a quick word out of courtesy probably wouldn't go astray..?
Tomorrow night's gig is with the band I started from scratch, Wrath of Fenrir. I think they're keen to keep going so it's a little hard to let go, knowing you'll have no say in the direction of something you started - good luck to them in any case. You'd probably describe them as Norse themed melodic death metal.

Whatever their reasons I said they could have at least given me a heads up I was no longer needed. But whatever we've all moved on.
Wrath of Fenrir sounds familiar. Played with any Melbourne bands in recent times? Reckon I've seen it on a flyer on facebook or something

Vinterriket has some really good ABM as well.
From Vic? Only a show last month over here. I think there was Harlott, Mason & Frankenbok. Murderfest - Perth.

Not necessarily metal related but I'm sure you blokes can relate.
My new custom E-ii has been delayed again which pissed me off a bit so was itching to drop some coin. Bought the Native Instruments interface and will go pick it up on the weekend http://www.fivestarmusic.com.au/epa...usic/Products/NI-KMPA6&ViewAction=ViewProduct
It's a ripping little unit for home recording. Takes 2x 1/4" instrument input, MIDI in and out, and 2x mic input, shows peaks etc. Comes with a butt load of software, Cubase, Guitar Rig, Kontact etc. Been really wanting to record my own stuff for a while now. Problem with playing in bands is having to compromise what you want to do.
Also ordered a SH-6 distortion / SH-2 jazz combo to stick in my Omen 6. Sometimes I like to learn to play an album from front to back. Last one was Dissection - Storm of the Light's Bane. Got most of it anyway. This time I think I have bitten off more than I can chew. Sure to lose from underground points but there are some brilliant riffs to jam along to on this album and they're a good band to learn to build up the chops. But after a day still chomping through the first tune. Having trouble committing some of the runs to memory...

Enjoying the new Novembers Doom "Bled White" album at the moment.
Don't think it's what most people listen to here, but any Gojira fans on here?
My favourite by them:
The chorus if you can call it that, is just awesome.

Yeah Gojira are alright, 'From Mars to Sirius' for me is by far their best album, solid from start to finish. Bit hit and miss on their other stuff for me.

deathevocation whats the new Belphegor like? I listened to one of the songs they released for it a week or so ago, wasn't all that impressed by it to be honest.

Mates band have just dropped a new tune. Not my kind thing but for those into their broots
I see Ne Obliviscaris have released the cover art for their new album, Citadel.
Slated for November 7th Release in Aus through Seasons of Mist.
Looking forward to this one!
Also an interesting note:
Ne Oblviscaris broke the Australian record for music related crowd funding (previously held by Eskimo Joe) for their upcoming world tour.
