I dunno. It's not something I think about (。・_・。)

Forteresse is the band I was listening to when writing my post, namely their debut, Métal noir québécois. Brilliant album, and the epitome of what Québecian black metal is. That's the sound people will think of when talking about Québecian black metal. Other fantastic bands with a similar sound is Csejthe, Ephemer, Brume d'Automne, Chätiment, Délétère, Maléfices, Grimoire and more. Most of these bands share some members with eachother, and even though some of these sounds quite different, they all manage to capute much of the same atmosphere and feeling.

Beside Forteresse, this demo by Ephemer is my favourite from the scene. On par with the debut of Forteresse IMO.

But it's still a waste of time. If you can improve on a song, just leave it alone.

By the way, have I ever told you guys about how fantastic the Québecian black metal scene is? It's been absolutely brilliant for the past ten years, and like many of the scenes around the world in the late 80's to the mid 90's, they have their own sound. It's so easy to hear that these bands are Québecian.

That sounds cool, Jiggy. I actually knew Goatwhore are touring with Skeletonwitch. Both are playing at Inferno Festival next year. Superb line up so far.

Behemoth shouldn't touch old Behemoth. Leave The Return of the Northern Moon, ...from the Pagan Vastlands, Sventevith (Storming Near the Baltic), And the Forests Dream Eternally alone, Grom and Satanica alone. Just stop wasting your time on re-recordings. That goes for all GOOD bands. Use your time more wisely. Write a new song instead. Masturbare. Eat some chocolate. Slap your bitch. Do anything beside re-recording classics. Jesus fucking christ.

It took me a long time to get a smartphone. Didn't use my phone for other than sending text messages and to have a clock aound, and I was sure I wouldn't use one much if I gt it. Didn't see the point really as my old phone still worked. However, got one from my dad two years ago that he was not happy with it at all, but I haven't had any problems with it. It's small and simple, and not one of those super phones, but it's still working as if it was new so I have no complaints. Works more than wel enough for me.

This is the one I've got. Old and cheap but good.

Maybe. I don't think I've ever heard a single finnish (female) rapper in my whole life. I imagine rapping in finnish sounds bad though.

I just can't get this out of my head and it goes on repeat all day long. not sure why because this combines two of the thing I dislike the most in my hip hop: female rappers and fucking norwegian. There's something about her voice and the übersexy stavanger dialect that gets me... I think. Well, it's something at least. Maybe it's her looks.

I don't need this now.

I was actually lucky enough to see peste Noire back in 07-08 or something, back when Neige, Winterhalter and Indria were all a part of the band. Fantastic concert.

And talking about the rest of Peste Nore back in 07-08, more people should check out Glaciation's 1994. One of the best album of 2014. The line up for that album was Neige, Winterhalter, Valnoir (ex-The CNK) and a few others I am not familiar with. Nowadays the band consists of Neige, Winterhalter, Indria Saray and RMS Hreidmarr (ex-Anorexia Nervosa), as well as the few I am not too familiar with. The artwork for the album is perhaps the worst ever, but the album is a solid 9+/10. Really looking forward to a new release with RMS Hreidmarr on the team. I've really missed his vocals after the disbandment of Anorexia Nervosa.

Anyway, the best part of 1994 is the vocal performances. Jesus.

M.E.R.R.Y. is such an amazing album. It's amazing.

I could also add that my favourite Peste Noire album is still the debut album. Medieval black metal that still stands as one of the most unique black metal albums of the 2000's, and Dueil angoisseus as one of the best black metal songs ever. Fucking Neige, man. Love him or hate him, fact is that grim vocals doesn't get more inhuman, ugly and disgusting than his, something he's showcased more than once.

I thought their self-titled was good as well, but I thought it was a step in the wrong direction. Or, a huge step back. They just took bits of all their previous albums and made it into a whle new album. But I had hoped they'd go in the nutty direction they started with Ballade... and took even further with L'Ordure... Instead they calmed down a bit and made a less crazy album. This however, is crazy and what I had hoped for after L'Ordure...

The video is very Lugubrumesque IMO. Lugubrum is another recommended band. Weird, experimental black metal. The first 5-6 albums are exceptional. Boersk blek betle! aka farmer black metal, which is a fitting description. They even have lyrics about midgets. They're that fucking cool.

Putrid feed
from the forest trough
stubby hands claw
damp dead foilage

Torch - light unmasks
distorted mugs
grinding molars
Midgets of evil

Buried delicacy
slobbering hybrids
sick the tainted marrow
lick the carrion

Cool. Looking forward to hearing your impression of Goatwhore. They're plaing at next years Inferno Festival. Might take a look unless I'm tired as fuck at that point and need to refill some beer.

As for me, I am going to my brother right before christmas (18th, and going home on the 22nd) and me, him, and a friend of us are going to Oslo to stay with a friend for a couple of days. Seeing Aura Noir again on the 19th and Morbid Angel for the first time on the 20th. They're doing some Covenant stuff, so probably playing it from A to Å. Looking forward to both, despite not being a huge post-Blessed are the Sick fan.

Yeah, well, no. I'm quite a happy, satisfied fella.

 

Still can't imagine what a sick freak you have to be to enjoy something like that.  

 

I guess I'm a sick freak then. Love that kind of stuff. Kind and sweet childrens school worker during day - sick freak during night.

I'm finding great horror titles every day like, both films with and without much blood and/or gore. Both old and new.

I think Shadows and The Avoided Sun are top notch album, while Greedy Dead Souls, The Buried and I Believe in Me are very good albums. The little I've heard from post-I Believe in Me have been a massive yawn. No thank you.

Never really got the "hate" for I Believe in Me in me either. Great poppy rock.

New Peste Noire video for their main song on the split with Diapsiquir:

The video is as white trashed as expected, but I really dig the song. This is the direction I had hoped the band would take after L'ordure..., so I am very happy about this.

 

Sigh's bizarre, psychedelic, heavy metal masterpiece, repressed on vinyl!

 

* Highly-demanded repress of the quickly-sold out Japanese black n' roll masterpiece, pressed this time into a highly-affordable single LP, album-only copy (no demos LP).

* Almost 55% cheaper price than the first pressing.

* 140-gram+ Light Opaque Blue or Black LP.

* Remastered specifically for vinyl from the high-resolution original mixes.

* 350gsm single-pocket jacket, utilizing the high resolution original artwork.

* Black inner sleeve.

* New catalog number designation (BLOOD-010R) to differentiate it from the first pressing.

This is now up for pre-order on Bood-Music's official HP. I got home 4 minutes ago and have ordered both. 15 euros a piece. This shit will be worth your money.

The Last House on Dead End Street was a very low budget (3k) horror film made in the wake of Wes Craven's shocker The Last House on the Left, which is also a low-budget film, but with a budget of 90k. So it's quite a difference, and that can be seen and heard and felt. Wes Craven with a bigger budget, as well as being ten times the director the other guy was. The one you saw is a remake of this.

The Strangers are awfully underrated. I really like the film and feels as if it deserves a lot more recognition from people. Great and effective film.

Eraserhead is recommended a lot by me, but it's surrealistic and certainly not for everyone. It's simply a bit weird. But if one can handle that kind of films it's a gem.

And I think there's a lot of original and unique films being made today. A lot actually. Films like Amer, Berberian Sound Studio, The Stange Colours of Your Body's Tears and to some degree Red Nights feels very original and unique to me. The creators have been getting their main inspiration from gialo, but worked a lot on it to make it something quite different. These might be a bit too weird to people, though, especially the three first. But yeah, unique films. Sometimes style over substance, but I'm fine with that.

Their facebook. Those are Mirai's own words.

 

"Graveward" is the 21st century's version of "Hail Horror Hail" with a slight touch of "Gallows Gallery". I'd call it Cinematic Horror Metal.

I'm not getting tired of this song. Amazing. That hook, man. Fuck! I'm having a hard time getting it out of my head. Singing it all day long.

To those who don't know, the SIGH "Gallows Gallery" Special Edition double-disc is available at Name Your Own Price on our Bandcamp. This was remastered from the original mixes by us - and many people consider this the definitive release of this album.

This one sounds very different from the muddy original mix and the overproduced James Murphy mix. Recommended for fans of the band.

I will add that I do prefer the muddy original mix to this, though. But this one sounds excellent nonetheless.

I think there's plenty of films out there with no substance whatsoever, and gore doesn't count for substance. Like the Guinea Pig series and The Last House on Dead End Street. I like both, but there's no substance there. It's made to shock and make people believe it's real. There's not more to any of them than that.

Yeah, it's jut as with music. Things changes. Thing you liked 10 years ago might suck now, and things you hate 10 years ago may be masterpieces now. We change so much over the years that our views on things changes as well. This is why I like to re-visit albums and films that I loved or hated as younger, to see how much I've changed since then. It's always fun. Sometimes it means destroying a good memory, butit's often worth it.

The good thing about Scream is how it doesn't take itself or the genre serious, and it's never meant to be scary. The film itself is awfully aware of it being a horror film, and plays around with it. However, I don't think it's as unique as many people make it out to be. This had been done many, many times before it did it. Great film, though. #4, which I saw not too long ago, is also great. Was a huge surprise as I had pretty low expectations.

Yeah, no problem. Heh.
