Accept Death

S/T

Some very misanthropic sludge metal. Very dark sound with some decently grim doom vocals. Incredibly heavy and evil tone. Definitely check it out.

Blutklinge

Reflection of a Bleak Mind

If you're into Coldworld or Wedard, this is a necessity. Blutklinge is a defunct one-man atmospheric black metal project from Germany. The genius in this album is in the guitar riffs. It creates a beautiful yet deadly atmosphere. The production is much more typical black metal then Wedard, but the riffs are a hundred times more beautiful. Check it out.

I Shalt Become

Wanderings

Great atmospheric black metal record. Clear influence taken from Burzum records. The first couple of tracks could have easily appeared on Filosofem (with slight production changes). Vocals are a little more growly than Varg, but the atmosphere is nearly identical.

Thou
Tyrant

One of my favorite doom bands right now. It is nearly impossible to listen to this record without headbanging, and the tone is grim enough to create an atmosphere. The combination of these two makes an incredible record. Their sound is akin to Eyehategod, only more massive and tight. Give it a spin, and DEFINITELY check them out live. They tour fairly often. Great shows...

Vociferian

Beredsamkeit

Great raw French BM. No thrills here. Straight up thrashy and rigid black metal. Vocals are much more death growly and instrumentation is a little less atmospheric than most of the stuff I've been posting recently, however there is something immediately enjoyable about this album. Although it is a fairly run-of-the-mill generic, the riffage is quite satisfying. Plus, there is some great drumming. Pick it up if you're looking for some good raw BM.
