Black Metal bands that Slow the Fuck Down!

The title may confuse you, honestly I’m still not sure what to title it, but I’m essentially going to be recommending a series of Black Metal bands that hardly or don’t use tremolo, are mid-paced, have an old school first-wave approach, or some sort of doom metal influence. Assuming you’re already familiar with Bathory and its slower moments I will be avoiding the more known bands.

Root

This really fucking raw and dark approach to heavy metal that sometimes borders on thrash metal with these slower grand moments, I would highly recommend their debut “Zjevení“ from 1990.

Master’s Hammer

The evil twin of Root, even though they’re both evil. Jokingly called the first “Norwegian Black Metal band” by Fenriz of Darkthrone (the joke being they’re Czech). If you give any of their albums a try I’d recommend “Ritual” from 1991.

Mortuary Drape

I’ve talked about them before on a post about the Italian metal scene, but essentially it’s this raw and primitive form of black metal that thrashes about. You may enjoy their debut “All the Witches Dance” from 1994. I feel I must clarify, my use of the word “primitive” here is more so in reference to the sound of the Old School, and not meant to imply anything that would give you the impression this is a Bestial Black Metal/War Metal or otherwise noisey band.

Barathrum

Black/Doom Metal band from Finland, their first few albums sound cavernous and yet fuzzy (God I wish they were on Spotify), but their later stuff is alright. Check out this song if you so dare.

Negative Plane

I’m not exactly sure how to describe this one, they’re definitely a unique band. I would definitely recommend them though.

Born for Burning

Specifically, the Swedish band that released “The Ritual” in 2019. Since they’re named after a Bathory song, you’d assume I’d recommend them to fans of Bathory, and you’d be right! Check this one out!!

Amen Corner

Root’s Brazilian cousin. I would recommend most highly their debut “Fall, Ascension, Domination”.

Decayed

I think this might be one of my favorite bands from the Portuguese scene, the speeds of their songs vary but I’d recommend this one.

Countess

This band is difficult to navigate through bc they have a lot of stuff that’s just eh. Surprisingly, the album I recommend most highly is not going to be their debut but their eighth album “Heilig Vuur”, I would also recommend this song.

Deinonychus

Oooo this is the juicy stuff. I would highly recommend “The Silence of December” and “The Weeping of a Thousand Years”, because texturally they’re some of the most interesting in all of extreme metal, at least in my opinion.

Samael

I’m not recommending all of this band’s discography, but particularly their albums “Worship Him” and “Blood Ritual”.

Diabolical Masquerade

The speed of their music varies and they have more traditionally second wave-esque songs, so I would recommend most highly this one.

Hades/Hades Almighty

For fans of Bathory, especially “Blood Fire Death” era. The double name is because they were formerly known as Hades but changed their name to Hades Almighty to differentiate themselves from an American band of the same name, but despite that they’re still known as “Hades” on some streaming platforms. I would recommend most their first two albums, “...Again Shall Be” and “The Dawn of the Dying Sun”.

Acheron

Sometimes closer to Death Metal, I would recommend “Rites of the Black Mass” on the warning that there’s really annoying and unnecessary intros to each song.

Ancient

While varying in speed, they don’t tend to rely on tremolos and blast beats as often as, say, Marduk. I would like to highlight their third album, “Mad Grandiose Bloodfiends” in particular, which has a flavor of vampirism and necromanticism and an excellent cover of Mercyful Fate.

Tyrannic

I would most highly recommend their sophomore release “Mortuus Decadence”, generally just some excellent black metal with influences from doom and traditional heavy metal.

Rotting Christ

Pioneers of the Greek-style of Black Metal, a style that blends more traditional heavy metal grooves with Black Metal. To recommend one album out of their discography, check out “Thy Mighty Contract”.

Amen Corner -Endless Solitude

[julio-viernes]

Los Beatles no hicieron jamás "Penny Lane" en directo, para cuando la publicaron en 1967 era ya un grupo dedicado en cuerpo y alma al estudio de grabación. Pero Amen Corner atacaban en directo un "Penny Lane" estupendo entre el griterío de un montón de lolitas al borde de un ataque de nervios, tal y como habían hecho los Fab Four años antes. Ellas les habían catapultado al nº 1 en 1963, y lo mismo hicieron sus hermanas pequeñas con Amen Corner en 1968. La versión viene en el LP Immediate de 1969 "The National Welsh Coast Live Explosion Company", donde se puede apreciar muy bien las dos facetas de la banda, la soul en la cara A ("Baby Do The Philly Dog", "Shake A Tail Feather", "So Fine", etc...) y la pop en la cara B.

Masters Traditions: The Amen Corner

Few phrases in sports evoke as strong an image as “the Amen Corner,” a term coined in 1958 by golf writer Herbert Warren Wind.

Amen Corner, Augusta National Golf Club Masters Traditions: The Amen Corner Few phrases in sports evoke as strong an image as “the Amen Corner.” Coined in 1958 by golf writer Herbert Warren Wind, it refers specifically to the second half of the 11th, the 12th, and the first half of the 13th holes at Augusta National, site of the Masters Tournament.

Okay guys, there's still a little more than 50 minutes left before the day ends here for me, so I'm going to give up on the whole joke now and admit it. The drawing from a few hours ago before? It was a joke. April Fools! Who would have thought.

HERE is the actual drawing I've been planning for the last few days. Beware, however. This drawing…is not for the faint of heart. (it has Wilson, after all)

Here it is. It took a long time, but it was worth it in the end. I hope you like and appreciate it. I would consider this my best work yet. 🙏

Los galeses Amen Corner con Dennis Bryon, con Blue Weaver, con Andy Fairweather Low en 1969 y su rutilante único número 1 en UK, "(If Paradise Is) Half as Nice", principios de 1969. Partiendo del soul y el blues, fueron una buena banda pop de finales de los sesenta (Foundations, Equals, The Love Affair, Simon Dupree & The Big Sound, Timebox, un poco esa onda comercial). Su versión de "Bend Me, Shape Me" de The American Breed ya había sido número 3 en 1968. Shel Talmy produjo el paraíso de Amen Corner, una gran versión de "Il Paradiso" de Lucio Battisti con original de Ambra Borelli.

Preaching to the choir.

You do know what the Amen Corner is, right?

In many Black churches a group of regular attendees sat together near the pulpit. As the pastor made his points during a sermon the residents of the Amen Corner punctuated his words with affirmations of “Amen”.

If you’re white and have yet to join in worship at an historically Black church I encourage you to do so. You will be warmly welcomed.
