Very good episode. Didn’t know about Aosoth before so I gotta get on that. Fairly new to Blut Aus Nord but Deathspell has been pulling me a lot harder.
Unrelated: Obliteration (Norway) fucking rules
Great video! Gotta give a shoutout to some bands from The Netherlands (support your scene right?!): Ulsect and Dodecahedron are two bands that make music in a similar vein as these bands. They both have quite recent releases and are comprised of some veterans of the Dutch Metal scene (ex-Textures and Exivious for instance). Give it a listen everyone!
Great episode! I would recommend also checking out Mutiilation’s Sorrow Galaxies.
Peste noire is by far the best band from france
Might i put on your list two great bands regarde les hommes tomber and the great old ones..
Definitely not my style, but very well made video and it kept me hooked until the end. I feel Brad has progressed a lot since his first videos on Banger and he’s now on the right spot between interesting and entertaining without overdoing it 😉
I agree on the BAN and Deathspell Omega picks. Masterpieces, both, IMO.
Anyone understand the other band names that the CEO of Season name drops? 2:10 Antaeus, Deathspell Omega, Arkhon Infaustus….?
Black Metal is boring and dull, no matter classic or avant-garde
great choices,well covered,nicely done!
i would add an arkhon infaustus album though!
Hail from France ! Good job on this video. I think, french “avant garde” BM is too nebulous to explore whole on just 15 minutes ;). Look at The Great Old Ones songs like Antartica (beautiful show if anyone here can see them), or Aorlhac
DSO – Black Metal. All others – black metal or “black metal”.
sweet I’ve got like 4 bands to check out and thanks for reminding me to buy everything from Plebeian Grandstand
Brad, forget about wine, bread and cheese. We brew excellent beers!
Core shit. Nice try.
Don’t think Aosoth is avant garde at all, but love seeing Celeste mentioned here. There are so many sludge/black metal bands that borrow from them (arguably including Plebeian Grandstand).
Pretty nice that you’ve mentioned Plebeian Grandstand, absolutely awesome band! But I would’ve liked to see Peste Noires L’ ordure à l’état pur or La sanie des siècles within the essential albums.
Yo brother! Blut Aus Nord and Celeste have me reeling!! Love it. Thank you for the insight
Banger TV is cancer.
Fun Fact: Broken Dialogues’ movie samples are taken from Ken Russell’s The Devils.
I’m so glad I found you guys on YouTube! Thank you for all the sacrifices you are making to open a genre of metal up to this new listener.
(;;;;
I get that you are probably vegan (a lot of metalheads seem to be vegan, cuz it’s Seitenic), but why can’t you drink wine?
I’m waiting for the day Godflesh and Blut Aus Nord does a collaboration. That day the earth will explode.
That hentai figure in the background tho
“Why did i include them here?” Because they are the most nihilistic music i ever witnessed.
how about spanish death metal now? like, fucking avulsed dude
Even though they are not from France but from Canada, check out Thantifaxath
Your pronunciation is awful for both Blut and Fas.
Id consider Celeste to be more or less Blackened Hardcore but nevertheless they absolutely fucking rip.
Wonderful and informative retrospective my dude 🙂
Another nice video on black metal scenes! DSO are arguably responsible for the 3rd wave of black metal, which Berberian alluded to. Whether half (or any) of these bands are really avant garde is debatable, but what DSO did shook the sound up enough that they might as well be for such a conservative genre as bm.
Disappointed there was no mention of Aluk Todolo – they have their own form of post-black dissonance which is equally harrowing, though it lacks the Theistic/Luciferian theologies of DSO/Aosoth/Arkhon Infaustus and other French bands. Time Lurker are another more recent example of a band creating textural dissonant doomscapes.
Pleased to see Throane sneak a mention at the end there!
Great stuff. Looking forward to more episodes!
What got into French Black Metal is Anorexia Norvosa. Sister September and An Amen. It’s a shame that RMS Hreidmarr left
I’m getting a Monty Python Holy Grail vibe when listening to the founder of Season of Mist.
emmmm peste noire???
Deathspell Omega and Plebean Grandstand rule.
