Over the past 12 months I have been listening to quite a few German Black bands, many of whom I hadn't heard of before and I must say that I have been quite impressed both with the quality and diversity of sound in the German Black scene. Bands such as Coldworld, Agrypnie, The Ruins Of Beverast, Lantlôs, Todtgelichter, Imperium Dekadenz all have quality releases to their name.
I personally think that if you like Black metal, then you should be able to find a band that appeals to you. Whether you prefer the melodic leanings of Dark Fortress or the avantgarde(and brilliant) Todtgelichter or if you prefer your Black to be a bit proggy then Nocte Obducta may be worth a listen.

In this topic you can discuss the known, big bands or bring new, interesting acts to light

I might as well post this here.
New TRoB song from the upcoming album Blood Vaults (The Blazing Gospel Of Heinrich Kramer).



Wouldn't call this song black metal though. More like doom metal

UNRU "Als Tier ist der Mensch nichts" CS / LP

Listen: https://monotonstudiorecords.bandcamp.com/album/als-tier-ist-der-mensch-nichts-lp-cs

The term "heavy" gets thrown around far too much nowadays, enough that it's begun to feel like kind of a meaningless cop-out, so I'll call this record "emotionally trying" instead. It takes energy to really appreciate this, and it takes a lot out of one physically to listen to it. This is not that "get stoned, melt into your couch, and absorb the vibrations" kind of atmospheric black metal we're all familiar with, this is Revelations-esque, mind-melting, soul-death-acid-trip music. - Cvlt Nation (http://www.cvltnation.com/unru-als-tier-ist-der-mensch-nichts-review-full-album-stream/)

I have been living in MA and somehow I have noticed mid 90's late 90's German BM bands has like weird think, its like half NS, but same time no and their album artworks are more like industrial thing, like factories, emthy buildings in industrial areas , post apocalyptic vision, when industry building is absconder like 30 years. I dunno, even band name sounds cool, band members looks cool, but that feeling.... it scares me away. I like different type of BM, even its same

Thanks for your post, this is quite an interesting aspect. But I think you are wrong.

The BM scene you are trying to describe didn't exist in Germany between 1995 and 1999.
Please give some examples of German black metal bands that actually released albums matching your description in the late 90's. Apart from Bethlehem and maybe Eisregen (and both are very weak examples because they did never play NSBM) I can't think of any major german BM band of that time covering post-apocalyptic visions, industrial wastelands and the like. In fact, it's a typical phenomenon of the subsequent decade when bands like Agrypnie came up. On the other hand, also Agrypnie have never been associated with the NS movement...
To make it short: the scene you are describing never really existed, I can't think of a single suitable example.

Besides, sometimes it's not very easy to understand what you are really trying to say.
"I have been living in MA"
MA = www.metal-archives.com ? If so: how can one live there?
Or MA = Malta? Massachusetts? Military academy? Mannheim? Morocco? Middle ages?

"building is absconder"
Please ask your online translator what "absconder" means because in this context, it makes no sense at all.
Maybe you meant "abandoned"?

Not that I am overly surprised but it's quite a pity if you can't name at least one example to support your original post.
Basically, this is just posting for the sake of posting something. Empty phrases without substance...

Thanks, but you were talking about the 90's and Endstille's first demo is from 2001.
That's why I said "it's a typical phenomenon of the subsequent decade".

I did understand WHAT you wanted to describe.
But I still think your roundup of the german BM scene of that particular time was outright wrong.

was an attempt to generalize the complete German BM scene between 1995-1999.

I asked for examples to prove your foolhardy statement and all you deliver is the cover artwork of a rather unkown band with just one album released in the year 2000 and with no NSBM reference at all.
Come on, even you have to admit that this is an amazingly weak and very poor example!

See, I couldn't care less what you think about the German BM scene of the 90's. You don't like german BM bands of that particular period? No big deal. For my sake, you can listen to Sabaton and render homage to your true nordic, frostbitten, winterproof BM heroes for the rest of your life.
But please don't try to fool people by spreading blurred and falsified half-truth about a scene that you have never been a part of. The 13 years of wasting your life 5-6 hours each day on MA didn't help to compensate two facts: you never lived in Germany and around 25.000 hours of surfing on www.metal-archives.com are no guarantee to magically transform anyone into an omniscient black metal mahatma.

Besides, calling the entire BM scene of one particular country "half NS and weird thinking" is quite insulting so please stop bullshitting if you can't prove what you are talking about.

I did not said all bands, I said few, and I was tlking about artwork, Its same whit marduk or gorgoroth, they album artwork is shit. Old Borknagar artwork is type what BM artwork I like. I like German metal scene and BM as well a lot, I just dont like artwork of few bands what only MA knows.

That is not true.
You didn't use "few" or "some" or "a minority of" or any other term of reduction at all.

Written by Bad English on 21.12.2018 at 10:38
and I was tlking about artwork

That is just partly true.
You also mentioned national socialistic tendencies and "weird thinking".

So, all over sudden, "I just dont like artwork of few bands what only MA knows" is everything you wanted to say?
Than I really don't get why you didn't post just about that right from the beginning.

You should definately take more care about intelligible content of your output.
After 46.700 posts I assumed you had enough time of probation and practise. Now I see I was severely wrong.
