Comments on: Craft, Svartsyn, and Arckanum… http://www.aversionline.com/blahg/2006/02/13/craft-svartsyn-and-arckanum/ Thu, 09 Feb 2012 14:24:59 -0800 hourly 1 By: kountchokula http://www.aversionline.com/blahg/2006/02/13/craft-svartsyn-and-arckanum/#comment-1058 kountchokula Sun, 26 Feb 2006 07:21:00 +0000 http://aversionline.com/blahg2/?p=129#comment-1058 I just checked out a bunch of reviews referenced above and i am blown away at how Crafts disc seems to be universally reviled. Its like there's a vendetta against the band or something. Whatever , I think the disc kills.

The haters probably feel BM has to be poorly produced to keep it cult but i love the sound. Its got a death metal beefiness to it that really helps the midtempo pounding. The band obviously put alot of work into the songwriting and recording, seriously this is a great disc. Thanks for turning me on to it.

How do you figure following a "grim" black metal riff with "Doo-DOO-DEE!"! ADHD is pandemic if musical trends are an indicator. Harmonics (featured in every sample): tottaly untrue (untroo).

I've been meaning to grab the others but haven't done so just yet. I only have one Khold CD (not the new one), but I do quite like it.

It's okay, but it doesn't compare at all (IMO) to Terror Propaganda, which was beautiful. This new one sounds tired and uninspired to me... I can't really understand the adulation for the new Craft.

And funnily enough I fucking hate the cover art for "Tentacles of Whorror", which I also think is an awful album title (as is "Howl Mockery at the Cross"). But then again, it's not like black metal is known for great titles, ha, ha. I think I heard some stuff off "The Tenth Sublevel of Suicide" that I liked a little, but I'm not sure. After the first 5 - 6 various tracks I sampled from the band didn't do anything for me I kind of gave up.

Seriously some of the best shit I've heard. Take Radar Swarm metalcore and combine it with marduk(in the vocals and some of the riffs) style black metal. Check it out, I'm sure you'll dig it. One other band that I have never heard you mention on this blog or in any review, is Leviathan(U.S.). "Tentacles of Whorror" is one of my favorite black metal albums. Awesome stuff. A great production, cool looking cover and nothing too cheesy in content. Speaking of black metal, Have you heard Deathspell Omega's "Kenose"? Seriously some of the best shit I've heard.

I really dig the split w/ Svartsyn, Arckanum just persistantly hammer the riffs into your mind. Me like! Arckanum is a one-man project, just thought it would be fun to know for those who don't. ^^

I cannot fathom an actual fan of black metal making such statements, it just doesn't make sense.
