I have already checked out most of these albums ironically enough lol.

But I hadn't heard the Bloodmoon release and it was enjoyable.

Great set-up and article idea. I am glad that there is someone else out there who is listening to the unheard of shit, and cheers for bringing it front and center for others to hear as well!

I honestly didn't expect you to discover much of anything you haven't already heard, but it's nice to see Bloodmoon getting some love here. Thanks for the positive words, hopefully I get some more readers next month!

I'm yet to tread into this genre - apart from some brief listens.

So I appreciate this guide.

By no means is this a guide into black metal as a whole. If you're looking for that I'd suggest looking into the forums a little deeper and searching for black metal recommendation threads.

Of course - I understand.

I wasn't sure if the music you posted was in its own field etc. as while I'm not a Black Metal elitist, I have listened to many Black Metal albums - but have no real knowledge in the genre and its 'many' sub genres etc.

Essentially this isn't limited to any specific black metal subgenres, but my goal is to highlight as many underground black metal demos as possible.

Which means I'll mostly be reviewing lo-fi/raw black metal, but you'll still get the odd depressive/melodic/atmo-black and hybrids.

Finally checked everything. The ones I liked were Rhuith and Bloodmoon. Great things can come from those bands.

Surprised you didn't like Flagellant.

Huh, I forgot about them, great stuff too! Although I must admit I heard only a third but I'll check out the rest of the song but I liked what I heard. Bloodmoon and Rhuith definitely won the race though.

Special mention to Shadows in the Crypt. Well executed.

Hopefully I'll be able to review the full-length when it's released.

WOW that Bloodmoon release turned out to be great ! will slowly go through the rest

I gave Bloodmoon a listen, that is some pretty out-of-the-box stuff. Thanks for the recommendation.

My pleasure.

At first, I thought you were recommending Dark Funeral, then I thought you were recommending a band called Flatulent, and after that I had to sit back and reassess my whole reading situation.

I do wonder why is the Dark Funeral logo there...

Because I'm teaching children to worship Satan.

I also thought that was wierd.

You should have done, like a satanic grandma or something.

I definitely don't see how that's any better. And it's hard to illustrate a Satanist as they don't necessarily dress in any typical way aside from the leathered-out upside-down cross-bearing Hollywood stereotype.

I just think that Demo's and Dark Funeral don't fit.

Not a big deal really, I'm just bored :/

It's just a simple play on words from an EP that pays homage to anti-Christian metal, which is more or less the point of this publication. It's a mockery of a stereotype I suppose.

File it under "what happens when you talk about things you don't know".

So is this like you own version of the Clandestine Cuts?

It was intended to specifically highlight new underground black metal demos and EPs in the same way the Cuts showcase demos and EPs across the entire metal spectrum. I gave up on it as scheduling conflicts arose and never returned to it...
