Do Aspies love Black Metal?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm a big darkwave fan. I was recently introduced to "Black Tape for a Blue Girl."

Ever heard of it?

No, I haven't but I'd love to! Starting to Google

Neat. The melodies are pretty haunting. Lemme know your thoughts.

If you like Black Tape for a Blue Girl I'd recommend Dark Sanctuary and Elend. They're gothic neo-classical--VERY dark. Elend in particular is recommendable to black metal fans, even though it's not black metal, because it uses classical in an extremely cacophanous way that rivals black metal for sheer intensity. Their 2007 album, "A World in Their Screams," is one seriously freaky ride that I highly recommend.

I'll have to hear those. I have that Black Tape for a Blue Girl album Remnants of a Deeper Purity and I dig the massive drones on that record.

I'll second this - both Elend and Dark Sanctuary are excellent. Elend even features some harsh demonic male vocals akin to black metal screams (in counterpoint to angelic female vocals) in some of their albums. The "Les Ténèbres du Dehors" album is one of my favorites.

What about Delirium? I enjoyed all their albums, but "Karma" was something special (especially "Twilight").

And back to Black... Many bands mentioned above are not TRUE Black Metal, but "sympho", "gothic", "folk" and many other...
I mean every band creates its own music based on Black Metal and then just sticks a new label to the style, so it becomes neither Black Metal, nor something new...

I still like Finntroll, Dimmu Borgir, Kataxu, Catamenia, Bal Sagoth and many others, but TRUE Black Metal for me will always be
Darkthrone, DNS, Emperor, Immortal, Behemoth ("Chaotica" is favorite) and, of course, BURZUM. Synthesizer's great, but it has to play a secondary role, without those driving-mad solos; it has to create the atmosphere and the sense of Darkness and Fatality.

P.S. I play synthesizer in a Black Metal band.

P.S. To cliche: "Filosofem" is also my favorite, but I also like "Hlidskjalf"

Sweet I play synths too! I'm part of an extreme metal band from Scotland called Artificial Interest. We're pretty diverse, but take in elements from prog, death, black and symphonic metal, as well as industrial music and electronica
What about yourself?

Well, my first style was something close to Cradle Of Filth, then we tried to play something like Norther or Children Of Bodom, but I didn't stay in the band for long because of my own views and I didn't have a good keyboard that time. Then we played something like folk/sympho/Black metal, but now we're in process of creating a new band for playing atmospheric Black with the elements of dark ambient.
It would be nice to hear your music

Sure, we're on Myspace. The stuff that's up there are some pretty old demos, but they still sound quite good

Excellent! I really liked it a lot
Is this possible to be downloaded? I found no links working

Yeah, absolutely, just send a PM to Phil, he's pretty much the mastermind behind the project - I'm sure he'd be more than happy to send some more recent works-in-progress your way.

I like Therion.. That's about the only metal I listen to now.

wow, awesome, btw check out Synthetic Breed, and if you know any drummers play it for them, its fun to watch

I don't listen to much black metal. However I DO love The Somberlain (song and album) by Dissection, it's all the black metal I really listen to. That song has the most amazing adrenaline rush and induces pure headbanging frenzy >: D

I grew up on old school black metal and now am more into local bands, as my city has a growing scene. Check out Krallice, Gnosis, Sacristy and and Utopia Banished (whom I consider black metal, some say they're death though).
