" Don't panic....You are still on the Underworld !....I am not known for my Black metal mastery...But I do listen to Black Metal when its fits my certain criteria. 1. Must be well produced(no lofi shit) 2.Must be well played(please:learn how to play an instrument before painting face)3.Have the attitude that the genre stands for(finger paints do not make you cult). That being said: We are here to discuss The Ugly from Stockholm,Sweden "

" The Ugly (sounds punk..Dont it?)formed in 2004 with the intention of playing metal without tags..And I can tell you...They have achieved this and more.Thrashened Black Metal with a hint of Death Metal (I think I just invented a sub-genre?)is whats on hand and it kicks holy ass "

" Rippin' Thrashing Swedish Black Metal kicks off this record and never stops until the last track is done....But dont think The Ugly is a one trick pony...There is enough time changes and difference in the tracks to not become boring. The guitars are crisp and crunching(not often found in Black metal)The drums are produced right....The vocals are nasty and the bass(well..everything cant be perfect). "

" Its the attitude on this record that I dig....A kind of Snotty-Nosed Punkish Fuck You and the horse you rode in on attitude that is refreshing....Just check out the track 'Black Metal Punks' and you will see what I mean "

" Wow I have not not anything Black metal related in a while..And while Immortal is no longer underground Black Metal...I have personally always enjoyed their records....So here is their 8th full-length...And first since 2002 "

" All Shall Fall is basically a unique combination of thrash metal of the German variety, black metal (obviously) and viking metal, all delivered in quite an epic manner.....Led by the snarling vocals of Abbath and the cold epic riffing one would expect from Immortal..Its all here....I just need a few more spins to decide if its good,great,or just ok...."

Tracks 9-16 bonus second disc

Origin - Norway

Style - Black Metal

" Satyricon's sound has evolved over the years from basic black metal to groovier, more accessible black 'n roll.On this their seventh LP..Things are no different "

" The Age Of Nero is similar to their last CD Now Diabolical. The songs are mostly mid tempo with relatively few blast beats. Frost cuts loose periodically, but for the most part the drums are more groovy than brutal. Satyricon still has some of the traditional black metal vibe, but those moments of bleakness quickly transition into something more melodic "

" The riffs are simple, yet effective. The arrangements are pretty sparse as the band uses a less is more approach and avoids having layers of keyboards and other atmospherics. Instead the melodies and riffs take center stage, and with each listen seem to become a little catchier. "Black Crow On A Tombstone" for instance...was in my head for a week after hearing it "

The Age Of Nero won't satisfy those who want the old school style of their early days, but if you've enjoyed Satyricon's recent output, this one will hit the spot.

11. Stellarvore

Origin - Sweden
Genre - Black Metal

" WATAIN have been lurking beneath the shadows of the underground for nearly a decade now, and while many overlooked the band’s impressive Casus Luciferi album about four years ago, WATAIN’s latest, Sworn to the Dark, Took them to the top of the Swedish black metal pack. Adamant practitioners of the black metal cult, WATAIN still manages to balance out the darkness by riding a fine line between black and death with large doses of German-influenced thrash serving as the link in the chain of aggression. At just under an hour in length, Sworn to the Dark takes the listener on a twisted, intricate musical journey that combines tense atmosphere, complex arrangements and strong dynamics, which are all held together by a sinister aura of underlying evil. The vocals are harsh and unforgiving; the drumming is punishing and pounding; the riffing taut and malevolent. Yet in spite of this, an emphasis on memorable songwriting is maintained throughout the album’s entirety. “Legions of the Dark Light,” “Storm of the Anti-Christ,” “The Serpent’s Chalice” and closer “Stellarvore” all exhibit these qualities with strong hooks and powerful choruses, creating instant black metal classics. Combining strong production, top-notch musicianship and powerful songwriting, Sworn to the Dark is a trident in to the heart of Christianity "

" Melechesh is a band that perfectly combines elements of Black/Death/Thrash metal with ethnic influences. The fact that they declare themselves as Sumerian Metal alone shows that they are shooting for a unique sound. They do achieve a unique sound, trust me..."

" Melechesh have honed their uncanny ability to write "catchy" music which also retains intense fury, relentless pace and an indescribable, twisted menace. This is one of those rare releases that is capable of transcending the bounds of typical genre preferences of listeners"

Once again well inspired, Melechesh is bringing you one of the most original sounds in Metal today. Their unique take on Melodic extreme music is sure to grab your attention, highly recommended to all of you who aren't afraid of the dark side of themselves......
