Received the jeans this morning. They are perfect thanks heaps!

I thought I would revive this thread...

For me the best example of the perfect black metal track would be Burzum's "Det Som Engang Var" off Hyvis Lysett Tar Oss. Absolutely chilling.

I havent seen Abigor mentioned, they are phenomenal. Any fans?

Local bands I used to love here in Australia were Lord Kaos, Astriaal and Abyssic Hate.

Slightly off topic, are there any funeral doom fans on here? I cant go past Therganon, Skepticism and Deinonychus (not totally funeral but doom nevertheless)

Now...

Songs: Ohia - Magnolia Electric Co.

Then...

Lullaby For The Working Class - Blanket Warm

Thanks Grapist! Tracking number received.

Ah I should have looked more closely, I remember you mentioning all those bands now

Just ordered these from The End. Not entirely metal but I guess this is better place than any to discuss these. Anyone a fan of Neige's projects?

and then....

From what I have heard these guys are excellent. Worth the purchase?

can wee talk about sludge in hear?

im listening to a lot of humanfly, sleep, karysun, boris, irreversible.

who else?

I loved "Pink" by Boris...So much fun...

Yes they tend to run one size bigger. I am usually a 43 (US 10) and I purchased a 42. Little tight at first, but being leather they stretched nicely.

Just bought a couple of Deathspell Omega records ("Si Monumentum Requires, Circumspice" & "Fas -- Ite, Maledicti, In Ignem Aeternum") from Amazon, with shipping its ridiculously cheaper than it used to be and of course compared to what id pay here...

Yeah I had heard great things previously about this record and it hasnt dissapointed. There was nothing else remotely interesting in the metal section of my local record store so I went with a chance...

Looks like ill have to put in an amzon order for the other stuff im after..

What are other good online stores, stocking metal in particular? Back in the day I used to use RedStream and The End Records and they are OK but anything better?

Purchased this today:

Really enjoying it.....

I have had a fairly big hiatus from black metal for a few years, but there seems to be a fair few newer bands re-invigorating the sound that I need to check out. From reading various online zines and such it seems that the US and France have a whole horde of great bands.

Thanks for the tips...

Looking into them more and more and it seems their label Norma Evangelium Diaboli has some equally fantastic bands in Antaeus & Katharsis - but thats just scratching the surface I guess.....

This thread has inspired me to discover some new music so I have come to discover French act "Deathspell Omega" - not exactly new but new to me. Reviews are universally excellent. Anyone heard them?

yeah I agree with you about the less stylised shots being far more intriguing. There are some great ones of Fenriz and Nocturno Culto from Darkthrone.

I would have killed to see the actual exhibtion which was touring around for a while there...

Just ordered this from Amazon:

True Norwegian Black Metal by Peter Beste

haha yeh it was about 18 when i really wanted to step up to the plate. shoped in smaller boutiques though, bought hypebeast shit like dunks and graph brands. Also bought lots of tees from record stores.. hah beastie boys and shit...

when i weas real young 12-13 i would be completely decked out in volcom, lol.. but yeh was pretty heavy into surfing, eski lid and skating.. Never rocked billabong, quicksilver though all of my mates did, thought it was to generic so i bought skate brands instead, dickies, element, alphanumeric etc.

lets hear some more guys/girls... do any girls surf this thread.. speak up

When I was really young, say primary school, I wore Billabong, Quicksilver and the like and then as a teenager I was really into music, metal especially, so I mainly wore band shirts, levis black jeans and doc martins throughout high school - no real brands as such.

Then out of high school I started wearing less and less band shirts and started getting into various brands like Carhartt and other brands that Central Station Records clothing dept. stocked - graff type shirts etc. Around the same time I guess I wore Ben Sherman and the like and shopped a heap at General Pants. Oh yeah I also forgot I wore a tonne of Zoo York.

Then I guess late 2006 I started looking for better denim and brands, and of course like many, discovered Nudie Jeans. From there I read the MyNudies forums and then onto here. Its funny to think back only a year or so ago I dont wear any of the brands I used apart from the odd Nudie's or Fred Perry polo.

Although nowadays I wear higher end brands that look a thousand times better I also dress alot more conservatively than I used to. Neutral colours, minimal prints (if any), plain yet high quality shoes. I guess I have found my particular style that suits me and I rarely stray from it anymore.

Shearwater - Rook

Been lurking these forums for about a year and have never posted, might as well start...

I have been listening to Ved Buens Ende, Virus, the new Ulver (not really metal at all but worth the mention), Diabolical Masquerade..

Someone mentioned Sigh havent heard them in years, last album I bought was Hail Horror Hail - whats the later stuff like?
