RFI Ep. 292: Cultes des Ghoules 

Eh, you know it is what it is

On a streeeeeetcherrrrrrr

Please never stop clipping King Cobra 😅

There is also a band called Death Like Mass which is awesome. Polish really enhances his already outstanding performance.

Will have to check them out, I really do enjoy a lot of heavy metal / black metal crossover stuff whether it's Agatus or Devil Master.

Yeah, lots of weird pictures of herbs and skulls and stuff. My Henbane shirt has this old medieval picture of a witch on it too

Past 23 years dude.

I gotta listen to more Magma stuff to pull that off, I haven't really heard them since high school. Univers Zero rules.

@@radiofreeinnsmouth1337 Absolutely. Their "Hérésie" album is probably some of the darkest and weirdest shit I have ever listened to. Do you know "Les Morts Vont Vite" by Shub-Niggurath, a French band? Same league.

Haven't heard of that, will have to give it a shot. Nekropolis' Musik aus dem Schattenreich from 1981 also is kind of in that arena.

Speaking of Cultes des Ghoules, vocalist 'Mark of the D.' has done backing vocals for Lvcifyre. Their blackened & viscous take of Morbid Angel riffage lead to the best MA album 2011 (low hanging fruit, I know) with 'The Calling Depths'. Hell, one of the most spun recent 'straight forward' riff-heavy onslaughts of the past three years was 'The Broken Seal'. Any thoughts on Lvcifyre? When it comes to blackened onslaughts of vicious riffage, do you happen to be familiair with the following bands as well: - Varathron's Patriarchs of Evil - Sorhin's 'Apokalypsens ängel' - Unaussprechlichen Kulten's 'Keziah Lilith Medea (Chapter X)' - Weapon's 'From the Devil's Tomb' - Beyond's 'Fatal Power of Death' - Omegavortex' 'B.A.S.' 08:51 Damn, for once, we gotta keep it at a respectful agree to an severe disagree (that over-utilized anchored foot note & the resulting timid, safe & lifeless output has been a net negative influence for black metal these days) (still in jest mate) Respect the prolific grind & hails to the niche king. (apologies in advance for the potential spam, can't seem to see my own comments for some reason)

Nice, I can finally see your comment now! Univers Zero is indeed pretty great, I like Hérésie a lot but my favorite from them is Ceux du Dehors. Patriarchs of Evil is actually one of my favorite Varathron albums after His Majesty at the Swamp, I listen to "Tenebrous" at the gym a lot. That Sorhin album's an all time classic, really unique stuff, maybe the best elaboration on that sort of Dissection template apart from the first Sacramentum album. The only Unaussprechlichen Kulten I've heard is Wake Up in the Night of Walpurgis but that's definitely a good one, still have to check their other stuff out. Funnily enough, I think that's the one Weapon album I haven't heard. I like their stuff but have to listen to them more to really get a handle on their sound. The last two I'm not really familiar with, will have to check them out as well.

I do like Striborg but I have to be in the mood for it. Ghostwoodlands is definitely a good one, and I also like Nefaria and Embittered Darkness a lot. Apparently he's gone in a more electronic direction lately but I haven't head much of the newer stuff. So many albums! I'd have to listen to way more to get an episode done.

@@radiofreeinnsmouth1337true! his discography is huge, but hopefully one day as imo hes one of the most unique and probably a bit under appreciated bm artist still, also i didnt listen to those albums entirely yet, but i do get Somnambulistic Nightmares stuck in my head randomly throughout the day, i find it surprisingly "melodic" for striborg.

I definitely like a lot of that Temple of Fullmoon stuff. I've actually been really into Xantotol lately speaking of that scene. I find a lot of the doomier side of Polish black metal to be interesting since I kind of missed it back in the day and mostly just focused on Graveland and Veles. Specifically thinking of bands like Xantotol, Pandemonium, Sauron, Holy Death and Christ Denied here. I also want to do one on the really pretty sounding stuff like My Infinite Kingdom and Thy Worshiper at some point.

@@radiofreeinnsmouth1337 good to know, thanks for the answer. But isn't Christ Denied spanish, by the way?

oh fugg I meant Christ Agony the one with Cezar Augustynowicz I must have brutal death metal on the brain

@@radiofreeinnsmouth1337 ahaha that's ok

Yeah Coven can be a bit much at times, Henbane's a little more consistent.

@@radiofreeinnsmouth1337 definitely agree with you

Yeah, I can't see it either, sorry fam

I deal with that crap all the time.

I think I heard 'em once because their name made me think of Resident Evil 4. From what I remember, they were pretty good.

I'm not like a huge fan of them but I do like their stuff, especially "Les Sentinelles" off Au Crépuscule de l'Espérance and the more Absurd-sounding songs on Sang Nordique like "Frontière" and "Vers la Vittoire." I probably should listen to them more. I really love the Departure Chandelier side-project they did with the Ash Pool guy.

That's a REALLY good comparison; also Infernal War rules.

@@radiofreeinnsmouth1337 fuck yeah they do
