I hadn't checked their other albums, but the last one is laughable.... hard to believe that it was made seriously... just a simple, underdeveloped wall of noise spiced with screams of some retarded, that according to the band were screamed by a "real criminal" who was asked to participate, to capture the tru essence of pure evil of the human soul blah blah blah... I don't know, I had read some reviews about Stallaggh's previous shit and they don't treat them so bad, but their new album is pathetic

Stalaggh requires mood and a certain taste. it's defiantly not for everyone. before you listen to them, try to prepare for a physical trauma. then you wont be surprised. Stalaggh is painful. but can be enjoyable.

oh, and the vocals are recorded at mental asylums with several retarded people. their stimulation is the music itself.

a screaming retard is not painful... just annoying

the music causes you pain, not the vocals.

I'm inmune to pain, then

The review itself is excelent, although this... how Collin calls it... THING can't be that bad, can it? I didn't hear any songs yet, but Collin is a pretty strict reviewer, so I really have to check out the album to see if he's right.

EDIT: Wow. Wow. Is this album even real? By that, I mean I can't find a single track anywhere, not even on Net, Youtube, ANYWHERE! I did, however find some other Striborg stuff, and it also fits the review pretty darn nicely. Pathetic noises. Although, you can kind of hear a guitar in the background that tries to create a depresive atmosphere, but you can't even hear the damn thing. The only thing you can hear is the sound like in the construction sites.

EDIT #2: If the production and vocals were better (a whole lot better, though) this could pass up as average.

Lol it seems my review has the opposite effect of what I wanted. I wrote this with a view to make it very clear that this is absolute crap and should be avoided at all costs. And now everyone wants to listen to it lol

Hey, just like they say, there is no bad publicity! And you gave this album some pretty horrible marks, that sounds even more attractive to people than rating it like an average one.

Ghostwoodlands... Very similar to all of his works as everyone knows, however I'm posting simply in an attempt to defend this project, Striborg. I do not understand why everyone is so displeased with this project. I'm extremely surprised about the negative review after negative review and a horrible lack of fans. I found Striborg one day, flipping about the net as I do on a regular basis in a search for music. I popped in "Solitude", and I sat patiently in a dark room, possibly searching for influence of my own. What had beheld my ears was not special, however, rather droning and simple as everyone says BUT... I felt the atmosphere that no one else seems to grasp. Does Sin Nanna wear stupid corpse paint? Check. Are his songs droning, with no sign for musical talent? Maybe, yeah I'll take that. I still felt what Black Metal was all about. I was highly disturbed, depressed, and transported into an entirely different dark world. Two thumbs up for the three albums I own of his: "Ghostwoodlands, Solitude, and Atumnal Melancholy", and I'll be sure to grab more of his discography. Ok now everyone get mad at me.

And the scary thing is that there are actually people around who really enjoy this album and the rest of Striborg's music.

No there isn't. There's people who pretend to enjoy it.

I totally second that thought.

I totally agree with the review. I'm a huge Black Metal fan and, even then, I think Striborg is absolute garbage. It's almost unbelievable how bad it sucks.
Completely talentless. Pathetic noise that doesn't even deserve to be called music.

And this comes from someone who loves raw BM like old Darkthrone, Hellsaw, Taake, Summoning's "Lugburz", Winterdemons, Battle Dagorath, Spirit Of The Forest, old Immortal, old Bathory, Ulver's "Nattens Madrigal", old Satyricon, etc.

I just listened to "Wandering The Wilderness Of Eternal Misery" for a few minutes, and... It was like sitting at the kitchen sink or a kebab restaurant listening to the meat grinder. It was, pretty much, the same sound.

If you're still trying to get into black metal, this is really not a good place to start.

I personally don't mind Striborg, but it's far from something I'd recommend to people trying to get into black metal.

"It is not atmospheric, it is stratospherically boring."

Hahhaha, well, at least the review is great. You made me laugh my ass off

I'm only judging from the first few minutes of Wandering the Wilderness of Eternal Misery, but it doesn't sound too bad. The production values are probably the most horrible I've ever heard, but it's not unbearable. While I don't personally find it to be as incredibly awful as this review states, I don't really find it particularly interesting, either. I'm sure if I listened to the whole album, though, I'd probably want to kill myself by the end.

Great album! i bought this one the other day.

love how much people hate it too
