Bigfooty General Metal Thread Mk.VII

[Paul Kersey]

Attention Pantera lovers. I bought the first four albums on cd last night ($8 a pop) from a Russian bootlegger on ebay (had some death metal bootlegs that I was after). Watch this space.

 

[Paul Kersey]

That recent Fetid cd 20 Buck Spin did is at Bourke St JB. Waiting on copy in mail so didn't buy. Virgin Steele - Invictus on right now.

 

[Paul Kersey]

The glam metal albums? Never listened to those myself.

Yep. Got a good feeling about them. Haha.

OOP albums from various bands always seem to be from Russian or Belarusian sellers. I held off getting a copy of Melissa via this way and paid more for a legit second hand one. Venom - Temples of Ice is another one that's impossible to get any other way.

Surprised they didn't have TOI as they have PE.

Office rockin' at the moment to Pissgrave.

My first 4 Bathory CDs are from the same source which I purchased 10 or so yeara ago. Sound quality isn't too bad, good packaging. Hard to know how they compare to the real deal. I hear Bathory albums vary from medium to medium and pressing to pressing.

‘Power Metal’ is pretty good.

new Car Bomb... toh.

Satyricon - Dark Medieval Times.

I go to this a lot. Early Satyricon is just utter genius. Not just one of the best debuts, but one of the best albums ever made.

I go to this a lot. Early Satyricon is just utter genius. Not just one of the best debuts, but one of the best albums ever made.

All time top 10 BM records for me too. Walk the path of sorrow is absolutely brilliant. Also took ages to work the lyrics out when an old band covered it because Satyricon didn't print lyrics in that album.

 

[dwwaino]

Perhaps a random question, but how would everyone rank from favourite to least favourite of these early to mid-90's artists from Norway?

Satyricon, Emperor, Darkthrone, Burzum, Mayhem, Gorgoroth and Immortal

Would need to have a long hard think about it but I'd have a horrible time splitting Satyricon, Darkthrone, Emperor and Mayhem.

 

[James Colorado]

Perhaps a random question, but how would everyone rank from favourite to least favourite of these early to mid-90's artists from Norway? In terms of output over their career? (Can throw in Ulver if anyone wants to)

Satyricon, Emperor, Darkthrone, Burzum, Mayhem, Gorgoroth and Immortal

Mayhem & Immortal tied for first, Satyricon's first three, Burzum's pre-incarceration, Gorgoroth & Darkthrone tied, Satyricon's subsequent output (I actually do like it), I don't know post-jail Burzum well enough to comment on it.

 

[dwwaino]

I love Hvis Lyset Tar Os but Filosofem and Det Som En Gang Var not as much as stuff from the other bands so that was an easy deduction. Live in Leipzig, Deathcrush and De Mysteries Dom Satanas have Mayhem automatic selection, but so do Nightside Eclipse, Dark Medieval Times and Nemesis Divina have the other bands. What a tough question haha.

 

[Dee Snider]

In the Woods, Ulver, Immortal, Mayhem for me.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

They couldn't have tried any harder in cloning Meshuggah to be honest.

They've improved on Meshuggah.

 

[dwwaino]

I always associated stuff like Enthroned, Setherial and Abigor with Norway because of the era and the sound, so that complicates trying to work it out.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Satyricon - Dark Medieval Times.

I go to this a lot. Early Satyricon is just utter genius. Not just one of the best debuts, but one of the best albums ever made.

First two. Gave up with the third one (has its moments but the moment had passed).

 

[Paul Kersey]

Norway. Without being album particular, probably Darkthone, Burzum, Immortal, Ulver, Satyricon, Gorgoroth, Mayhem and Enslaved. As much as I enjoy all these bands I'd have Darkthrone and Burzum well ahead of the rest. And yes I have deliberately excluded Emperor.

 

[Schauermann]

Perhaps a random question, but how would everyone rank from favourite to least favourite of these early to mid-90's artists from Norway? In terms of output over their career? (Can throw in Ulver if anyone wants to)

Early Mayhem and Burzum first. Then Darkthrone, Demo Thorns, Ildjarn, early Emperor.

Actually I am a first Burzum superfan. Det Som En Gang Var is very good, stuff until, Filosofem as well, but all those are shaded by the selftitelt album. Normally only listen to that one.

 

[Schauermann]

Have you heard of the Swedish band Wulkanaz? Very similar to Ildjarn s/t album, thought you'd might like them if you hadn't heard of them before.

A few Ildjarn copybands going around. But I never heart about Wulkanaz. Will check them out.

 

[Magus]

I don't think you can go past the Borknagar debut either.

 

[Schauermann]

Wulkanaz?

Pretty cool. Just ordered some stuff.

 

[Dee Snider]

I don't think you can go past the Borknagar debut either.

Prefer the follow up but I’m not much of a Borknagar fan. Last 2 albums have been good though (those 3 vocalists are amazing).

Urd in particular is good to garden to.
