I tend not to like USBM at all


... because every us black metal band is similar

Well, in general I suppose....but Vesperian Sorrow I DO like, and they are different from most USBM bands I have heard...

Night Conquer's Day is one of the best Black Metal bands I have ever heard. And they have some more good bands, and Judas Iscariot is definetely amongs them

*sighs* i was sarcastic. how can you dismiss the scene of a whole country? you say you don't like usbm at all. why? the bands aren't similar, at all. there are many orignal and unique acts coming from the states, however i'm shure you're not familiar with any of them.

Referring to Dead as "some kid who screams" does not give you the right to an opinion.

I didn't dismiss the scene of a whole country, I said I liked Vesperian Sorrow didn't I?

And the cold earth slept below... i found quit boring typical bm with nothing new to offer. I dont think JI is another darkthrone clone even if it has many of the same elements but hey so does many many other bands that are trying or are raw and primitive. Problem with these bands is often the lack of idea wich makes many of em sound like an bad copy of darkthrone. Darkthrone just had/has that "something" wich made it so grim,cold and dark. A clear strong vision about the music and the attitude.

The best side of JI IMO is shown in songs like "From hatefull vision" on Heaven in flames. Mid tempoed harsh and "melodic".

One good USBM band to check out is Kult ov Azazel my favourit from the US , brutal well played black metal that i think has an unique style of creating really aggresive black metal, an stand out from the masses!

I'm actually listening to "In the Valley of Death" right now on the Judas Iscariot myspace and it actually sounds quite good and refreshing. I don't ever remember liking this band much, but it sounds pretty good for being not very original. But unoriginal doesn't always mean bad. It could be just this one song though, I'll have to immerse myself further and find out.

Vesperian Sorrow? You're from Texas aren't you? Perhaps the "Midwest" Abilene, Odessa, was weiss ich (?).

Listened to Demonstruction? There a good one from that region...

The topic is on Judas Iscariot, so I will go on with that. Why did he just get up and move to Germany and then to Canada? Distant in Solitary Night is my favorite album from him..."The Black Clouds.." being my favorite song. Very classic black metal shit!

I guess I have no ear for "original" black metal. I've always felt that Judas Iscariot was a fairly unique band with a some really original tunes.

...I've been wrong before...

Either way, I'm still a big JI fan.

Nothing interesting about this band, sounds pretty standard compared to what is coming from the USBM scene and the standard for USBM is shit.

It had always amezed me this ridiculous anti-americanism that affects USBM. The US scene is the best under almost any point of view since at least 10 years ago.

I don't think Judas Iscariot, should considere and "USBM" I mean the scene in that country is so much different, to JI I love this band, it has so much power in lyrics and also in music of course... and to one comment up "because every us black metal band is similar" I don't know if it was sarcastic or not, But... I think black metal bands from that country are the LESS similiar, the "big" ones... had and unique sound. Amazing scene.

Anyway Judas Iscariot it is amazing.!

I tried out this band a few times. Very, very boring. I was expecting something a little bitter because of all the hype this band gets, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone that is into BM.

I'm considering buying the album Heaven In Flames based only of of the songs "an Eternal Kingdon of Fire" and "from Hateful Visions". Is the rest of the album as good as those songs? Is it a worthy buy?

You should listen to the whole cd before you buy it, people's opinions might make you miss out on something you like, or make you get something that sucks the dong.
