The fact that so many people still equal notions such as 'brutality' and 'heaviness' with 'quality' is, quite frankly, appalling and fucking dumb tbqh

That's me whenever I go to a party. Not because I like Nuit Noire or anything, i just enjoy playing shitty music at parties. It's always fun.

You need to watch Rosemary's Baby, because it is a phenomenal film. And while you're on it you need to watch Repulsion, The Tenant and Dance of the Vampires by the same director too.
 
A few other must-sees:
 
The Omen (1976)
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)
An American Werewolf in London (1981)
The Howling (1981)
 
 
It's very important that you keep watching the originals by the same. I can't think of a single horror film remake that's better than the original classic. Not a single one.

You won't find horror films with more atmosphere than those made back in the 20's through the 70's. There was no such thing as jumpscares back then, and it was all about atmosphere and suspense. Jumpscares didn't really come along before the late 70's/early 80's, even though there was only a small amount of films like Carrie and When a Stranger Calls that used/tried a form of this technique before the 80's. So checking out horror films from 70's and backwards won't hurt if you look for horror films without cheap jumpscares.
 
You won't find a single film with better atmosphere than Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens. The atmosphere is so thick you can smear it out on a piece of bread like butter. Same goes for other 20's horror films like
Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari
Der Golem, wie er in die Welt kam
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Häxan
Orlacs Hände
The Phantom of the Opera
Faust: Eine deutsche Volkssage
 
Or from the 30's:
Vampyr
Frankenstein
Bride of Frankenstein
The Black Cat
Dracula
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
The Old Dark House
The Hound of the Baskervilles
 
Just to mention a few. I could go on, but these are all films that are as atmospheric as possible. Especially the 20's horror films are beyond what we can atmospheric. It's incredible. Add The Call of Cthulhu (2005) to the 20's list too, as it plays along like a film of tat era. Excellent film!
 
But if these type of films for some weird, unexcuseable reason ain't your thing, then try some newer films from the 2000's like
 
The House of the Devil
The Witch: A New-England Folktale
Martyrs
We Are Still Here
A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night
Eden Lake
Lake Mungo
The Conspiracy
The Blair Witch Project
Bone Tomahawk (western-horror!!!)
The Others
 
 
These films have none or close to no jumpscares in them. It's about atmosphere, suspense and more atmosphere.

Since this thread has been evoked back to life let me inform you about the films I've seen this weekend:
 
Demons
Demons 2: The Nightmare Returns
Lamberto Bava would never go on to become as great as his father, Mario Bava, but he never had any problem impressing. While not his best films, but are highly entertaining euro-splatters full of cheese, poor acting and lovely special effects. Demons is better than Demons 2 which is more or less the same film with a different setting. Great soundtracks to with Claudio Simonetti, Pretty Maids, Billy Idol, Accept, Saxon, The Smiths, The Cult, Fields of the Nephilim, Dead Can Dance and more spread over the two films. First one is a bit more metal.
 
Night of the Demons
Night of the Demons 2
Cheesy, over the top and great horror films set at Halloween. So over the top, but perfectly executed with amazing special effects and lots of fun. The sequel is a bit campier and less serious in tone, but I dig it slightly more. It's more of a teen horror with silly jokes, great nudity and more humour, but it truly pays off. And who's unable to become bewitched by a beautiful girl dancing retardedly to old Morbid Angel? Holy water!

great list! I even found a few movies I've not seen, gonna pick a few to watch for the next few days. thanks!

A few obvious ones, but if you're not too into horror movies you'd want to try 'em out:
 
Good Halloween-themed films:
 
Halloween (1978)
Trick 'r Treat (2007)
Night of the Demons (1988)
Night of the Demons 2 (1994)
Hocus Pocus (1993)
 
In general I'd just recommend some great horror films:
 
The Thing from Another World (1951)
Dracula (1958)
Kwaidan (1964)
Night of the Living Dead (1968)
The Exorcist (1973)
Alien (1979)
Friday the 13th (1980)
The Evil Dead  (1981)
The Thing (1982)
A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
Ringu (1988)
The Blair Witch Project (1999)
The House of the Devil (2009)
Frankenstein's Army (2013)
The Thing from Another World (2013)
Housebound (2014)
It Follows (2014)
We Are Still Here (2015)
 
 
I guess I'll have to stop now. I decided to leave the pre-50's horror films out since you don't seem to be too much into films in general (sorry if this is wrong), which is a shame consiering some of te best horror films were made in the 20's and 30's. But I tried to limit myself a bit, even though it doesn't seem to have worked too well.
 
Anyway, I've rated all these films either 9 or 10.

I don't have a problem with Mono doing more of the same to be honest, and I think the album is fantastic. In most ways they don't bring much new to the genre and you've heard Mono do things like this many times by now, but at the same time I feel like the album does differ from e.g Hymn to the Immortal Wind in that it's a lot darker and way more intense IMO, and therefore reminds me a lot more about their two first full-lenghts than anything after (with the exception of Rays of Darkness of course).
 
But when you do it as well as Mono I see no need to change anything at all, and I am happy they have't changed too much.

For someone like me that's absolute madness. If I have a good week I manage to sleep about 20-23 hours during the entire week, but during those 20-23 hours I probably wake up 46-60 times, which means I don't sleep a single hour without waking up a couple of times. But that's life I guess.

It's hilarious, but it's the kind of shit that'll keep me away fro future Deafheaven gigs. Ew.
 
 
Discovered Owls Woods Graves the other day. The band features two guys from Medico Peste, but both are live members of Mgła and it does sound like they've gotten soe inspiration from there. Some of the black metal parts sounds like a punkier Mgła (the opening track surely has some Mgła-esque melodies), the punk often sounds neocrust inspired. Can hear a bit of Tragedy and His Hero Is Gone in the riffing. Neat as fuck!
 
Top notch cover art too:
 

Started watching Stranger Things recently, GOOD SHIT RIGHT THERE MY DUDES

I like Deafheaven and all, but those are the worst, most unfitting moves I've evern seen anyone do on stage. Was supossed to see them live at the last day of Pstereo last saturday but decided not to buy tickets because I didn't think they would be good enough to pay all that money just for these guys, and after seeing that I'm very happy about it, and I can see I did the right thing. Eeeeew!

@Bearsomeday I'll check out all the great western metal releases you post in these topics every month, but that day is not today XD it sucks not having any time, It's really hard just keeping up with Jmusic right now...
 
someday.
 
 

Do yourself a favour and check out the cover art for Finished - Their Is No God
 
Holy fucking shit! This atrocity of a cover is hilarious. NSFW!

I checked out Gloam last year after seeing a mention of them somewhere (Vice maybe?) and indeed Hex of Nine Heads is awesome.
 
Heading to caligari's bandcamp now to see if there are some other gems! Good lookin' out.

A small heads up: if you like real black, death, thrash and doom metal I'd recommend you check out Caligari records. This underground label is killer! Alucarda's masterpiece Raw Howls was released by them, and bands such as Evil Priest, Howls of Ebb, Into Coffin, Obscure Evil, Hadit, Demon Head, Inisans and Gloam are some of the band with killer demos/EPs/spilts/albums on the label. I'm currently checking out every band/release on the lable, and it's mostly good or great releases. Killer stuff if you're into old school black/death/thrash/doom metal.

Currently listening to Gloam. Black/doom metal with a small twist. There's a lot to get a hold on here though, so fully understanding the album is gonna take some time. But it sounds very, very promising. Almost sounds a bit old Opeth-esque at times, just blacker, doomier and bleaker. It's weird.

My girlfriend got herself a dog yesterday, a mix of doberman and labrador. She's got a lot of energy, but she's such a kind beauty (so far). She finally found some peace too, so she's been quiet for a period of time now. Yara is her name, a name that should be familiar to a lot of you who watches TV-series.
 
Big, shitty webcam pictures coming up, guys.
