3:50 - second from the left in bottom row there is Entheogen's "Without veil, nor self" casette. Excellent album and I highly - highly! - recommend checking it out.
it was wonderful being a kid in 2014/2015, when the scene was peaking. Now, Svartidauđi are disbanded, and Mystiskaos is no more. Maybe it should stay like that, being a joyful fragment in our memory of good music. Thank you Island for the unforgettable musicality, lyrics and terrific cover art
Saw them live in Montreal 3 years ago, depending on where you live, you might not have to travel all the way there. It was absolutely amazing as you would expect, I hope you can experience this too one day \m/
Black metal was international, second wave black metal had bands with a particular kind of notoriety, but this scene started off with the likes of Von from Hawaii to Sigh in Japan to NME in Seattle to Sarcofago in Brazil.
Nyrst are awesome 👍💪! Solstifar were one of the originators of Iceland black metal 👍 To all those commenting about the reporter stating that black metal started in Norway by Mayhem, DT, Burzum ect, how much time do you think he really put into this 5 min segment? I recon Mortal Sins song ‘ Maheymic destruction “ from 86 was way a head of its time in brutality!
if you compare icelandic bm with finnish scene and swedish one then you probably don't know icelandic bm 🤣 while most bands from the latter two are more or less sticking with second wave aesthetics and styles, icelandic bands are putting more efforts in challenging established norms of the genre, creating much more original, inspiring, avantgarde, "modern" type of black metal. here we have the future of black metal 🖤🖤
Cool, but... historical revisionism! Didn't really originate from Norway, it just skyrocketed from there. Venom, Hellhammer/Celtic Frost laid the foundation, Bathory gave it the sonic edge that continued in the Norwegian scene.
