Need Recommendations

nomowish · 10.27.2006, 11:51 PM

I need recommendations for records that are both consistently heavy/layered and atmospheric... and in some vaguely conventional way, Beautiful.

Good recommendation. But I'd try the first EP first.

Wow, a day ago I asked the same question at the Southern Lord board and received the same recommendation of Jesu's stuff. The posters there also mentioned:

Justin Broadrick's FINAL + Godflesh
The Goslings ("hardly metal, though", according to Skrape)
Blut Aus Nord
Nadja
Velvet Cacoon
Angelic Process
Wold
Lurker of Chalice
Burzum
Filosofem
Hvis Lyset Tarr Oss
Ulver

Okay, I never actually took the time to consider how many groups were recommended to me. Maybe I don't need any more now.

FINAL's cool. Godflesh too, but of variable quality - Pick up the "In All Languages" compilation and work out from there.

Okay, but what's that picture of?

i'm gonna recommend one of my Australian favourite's

www.myspace.com/greydaturas

Instrumental three-piece Somewhere between Sonic Youth, Dead C, My Bloody Valentine and doom-y droney stuff like Boris (absolutego style), Electric Wizard, Sleep, Grails.

Keeping it in the southern hemisphere Cambell Kneale's projects Black Boned Angel and Birchville Cat Motel are great.

Something like MBV's "Loomer" from LOVELESS would be cool. I guess what I don't want are the typical growling vocals. Instrumental groups would be cool. Maybe something slow and droney; there's a sub-genre for this, right? I just want something I can play loud and get lost in without having to worry about people thinking I'm some kind of devil worshipper. Yeah, I'm a pussy.

Thanks; now I'm off to bed.

I Recommend the new Isis+Aereogramme split - In the Fishtank 14 or the latest Jesu EP - Silver. Both are really atmospheric.

I like the oceanic stuff. Jesu are great, but I don't like Isis. The music's nice. Not keen on the voice. Maybe they should become an instrumental band. That's just my opinion.

Onani Nic · 10.28.2006, 07:55 AM

I liked the first two Isis albums but the new one is really really boring..

Everyneurotic · 10.28.2006, 10:07 AM

i second nadja; also, check out growing.

i know what you mean about the voice, but Craig B from Aereogramme mainly sings on this record. I personally dont think they should become instrumental though, theres too many bands doing that right now, like red sparrows, pelican etc.

nicfit · 10.30.2006, 06:58 AM

toko check the new isis, singing is more bearable (when not melodic,aurgh!)and music is simply amazing.

Tokolosh · 10.30.2006, 07:10 AM

I don't mind when singers grunt, but it gets monotonous, if they do it throughout the whole album without changing their voices.

I'll give Isis another try though...

nicfit · 10.30.2006, 07:31 AM

he grunts less and sings more on "the absence of truth"..4th track is amazing.

Everyneurotic · 10.30.2006, 09:50 AM

people who can't take isis' aaron turner growl = pussies
