>>129437181that would be the worst album to start with, but how is this even a discussion? they have 8 albums in their main discography, once you've gotten started, you're basically already done.
>>129437255No, it's actually a good place to start.
>>129437300start them off with the best album so they'll only be disappointed going forward? I like that your approach mimics real life
>>129437335A "good place to start" is something both representative and palatable. The song I posted in particular is something I feel anyone into black metal could enjoy
holy shit
>>129437431>representativefair enough, though single song recommendations are entirely useless>palatablewanting to show off a band's most universally enjoyable material is a normie mindset
>>129437181I'll check it out if I'm still on the fence with DsO.I listened to the Shaxul albums and SMRC yesterday. I found the former enjoyable though mostly stock, and the latter underwhelming and tedious. In the middle of my second listen of SMRC, I don't hate it now, but I'm not blown away.>>129437454>look it up>technical death metal from 1993looks sick, will try sometime
>>129437181this is neither extreme nor experimental rock
>>129437858Kind of a weird opinion
>>129438308Wrong again
Not bad, kinda insists on itself though.
>>129437454I could have sworn this album art was also used as the cover art of some slam band's album as well.
I've never listened to anything by Deathspell Omega with the exception of their split with Moonblood, which is pretty damn good actually.
>>129439218get new material
Embarrassing how the last one died.
This was decent.
BLASTING Kenose. A little more like what I anticipated with SMRC.
>>129439983It's a lazy description but you know what I mean. Moments that you can tell are intended to be epic typically don't land. The three Prayer tracks are longer than they need to be and stall the album. A liturgical chant is sandwiched into the middle of a song. A lot of assertion over not a lot of compelling music.Si Monvmentvm is okay, but any Mayhem release with Blasphemer cripples it.>>129439718You'll like the albums and other splits recorded with Shaxul on vocals. Even if you find Infernal Battles shit or boring, it only develops from there, with their last session (later released as Manifestations 2002) hinting at the SMRC sound without tripping into its pitfalls.
>>129440121>SMRCIdk what you're talking about.
>>129440139Their third album, "Si Monvmentvm Reqvires, Circvmspice". This feller >>129439218
DsO-tourists are the reason this general is so dead.
>>129440213Bit of a non sequitur, lass.
>>129437660SMRC is them forming their sounds. I'd say Fas is when they BECAME themselves, or yeah >>129440092.For a while Kenose was my favourite by them.
>>129440615Yeah that makes more sense, come to think of it
DsO only gets a bad rap here because of one certain poster
