Blut Aus Nord - 777 - The Desanctification

Yes,that's damn great!maybe if it has vocals and was not all instrumental i appreciated it more than now.this is very simple and catchy. that's what i expected from black metal in 2011 .great black metal album of the year!

Blut aus Nord being referred to as "simple"? That's a new one.

Joe I'm sure you have something to say about that.

I can't be mean to girls. I'm too much of a sexist. She can just make me a bacon sandwich and clean my kitchen to make up for it.

Definitely one of the best release of the year

This album makes me want to get shit done. Goals, inspiration, excitement, anticipation, commitment, this album's ebb and flow light a fire in my belly.

Great! I find this music to have elements of hypnosis or trance, for example in Epitome VIII. Beware and buy!

This is a good album indeed. i really like Epitome X

Best of the 777 trilogy and quite possibly my favorite BAN album period. The drumming, the groove, the spine tingling dissonance... simply otherworldly

Have the same opinion The album has something special...

The best of the 777s for sure, but was quickly outshone by Liber II I think. If it had better production and sound it might rival it, however, but the fake mechanical sound of the 777s really bottlenecks the potential of them.

Are the vocals being played in reverse here? Always wondered how exactly he achieved that sound with them

I assume there was supposed to be a youtube link in this comment

I guess you mean at the start here?



Or do you mean in general? It does sound like it's being played backwards. He could just be ad-libbing it though. I guess the only way to tell is to play the song backwards and know French.

Speaking of vocals in reverse I always quite liked what Akercocke did here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTkhKXFYCvk

Actually no, there wasn't, but you're right that it's most noticeable on Epitome VII (and elsewhere in the album, such as X as well). Cool effect, however Vindsval might've achieved it.

Just started getting in to BaN, and I feel like I'm really going to like this trilogy. Will get into it when I have the time, but in the meantime, I decided to buy the limited Vinyl copy of this album. I saw it on the web, and it looked so fucking cool that I just had to have it, regardless of the quality of the music (which, judging by the comments, is really fucking good anyway). I'm excited to give it a spin when I get it, but I'll make sure to listen to the first of the 777 albums before I do so.

The solo on Epitome VIII is still the most glorious thing. That tone God damn it! Up there with Procession of the blessed frozen cells and Level-1 as the best of best of BaN.

What a great album!

BLVT AUS NORD is a group for whom there are no boundaries, genres and musical trends are an illusion. I can't describe in words what I felt while listening to this, simply a wonderful experience. These tones absorbing the listener like a black hole...

Already I can't wait for the last part of the trilogy, and I'm sure it will be perfect.

I might give different ratings and orders to the top 3, but that order looks like how I would do it too. I'd probably slip Liber II somewhere in the top 4 if it were included.

You do love MoRT, don't you?

Haha, yeah. Still not sure what my top 3 order would be but it would be some variation of yours.

One thing is certain though, his latest albums are quiet forgettable

Yeah sadly. Aside from the De Librio Arbitrio track I don't think I've touched anything BaN have done since Liber III more than a couple of times at most.

MoRT is the best shiz. Apart from that, I do enjoy the Liber eps and 777 albums. Everything else by them comes after this for me.

On topic though, I think its hard for me to pick a favorite among the 777 trilogy because it just depends on my mood. But its the last one I guess, mostly because it is the most electronic and far away from bm in the trilogy. True, it might sound weak but I like the ambient-ish electronic soundscapes there.

You like those albums more than twwtg? Definitely a rare opinion.

I would rank this probably in my top 3 BaN records. Definitely the best of the triology, has the right balance of atmosphere and its even quite catchy which I like.

Yes its quite a weird opinion indeed. Teeth always sound sonically weak to me, to be blunt it isn't heavy or dark enough I know I shouldn't look for those elements there but still I can't seem to ignore that aspect when I listen to it.
I recently did visit back the 777 trilogy just to make sure if I still liked and I definitely did enjoy it a lot and the last more because it was the least catchy and was fittingly climatic and apocalyptic.

Still looking for something like Desanctification...

Probably the album from the 777 trilogy that's clicked with me most. It obviously has their signature aventgarde and dissonant approach but it's also surprisingly melodic and trans-like, and has an interesting Middle-Eastern edge. "Epitome X" is one of my favorite songs from this band.
