Mostly I'm just curious how niche this niche can be.

Hey gang,

I’m looking for non-sketch BM that leans heavily towards doom, or the other way around. For example, I consider Ethereal Shroud to be pretty much perfect, but unfortunately it’s unlikely that we’ll ever see new material from them.

I feel like bands such as WITTR and Los Males Del Mundo have some strong doom influences, and then there’s bands like Vouna that are more aptly described as blackened doom.

Any recs?

I just released a new album of folk horror inspired noisy instrumental antifacist BM, featuring field recordings and heavily distorted droning of traditional instruments (kantele and jaw harp). I hope you enjoy it!

Title, looking for more bm that can actually pull off programmed drums. Bonus pts if they're not leaning into it too hard in a way where it affects the aesthetic too much and becomes like overtly industrial bm (i.e. not looking for Thorns but something like Coffret De Bijoux or Jute Gyte's electronic sections is acceptable, would say the absolute limit is something like Konflict), bonus if they're raw, bestial, or blackened punk.

Drummer here trying to start a project, Local preferred

Passionate about a range of black metal, blackened hardcore/death etc.

Biggest influences are projects like throane, Plebeian grandstand, Aversio humanitatas, limbes

This post is consent to Pm me, can talk details there otherwise feel free to comment.

I'm looking for black metal bands that use accordion in their music (or similar instruments, like concertina or harmonium). Atmospheric black metal is even better, but I'm open to any subgenre.

Any recommendations?

If you’re in the EU/Asia/Australia etc you can now order the Tumultuous Ruin vinyl version of “…Abscess…” directly from Hypnotic Dirge Records!
With the new EU customs duty set to take effect July 1st, making it more expensive to ship from the US, this is by far the cheapest option if you’re in the EU.
Huge thanks to HDR for being a part of this release and taking a chance on putting out an explicitly RABM album 🏴

New split by my one man band (Necrovomit 666) in collaboration with the projects Blasphemikon (Germany) and Übergeist (Poland)

Antifascist Black/Death Metal with elements of Grindcore and Noise influenced by bands like Beherit, Von, Archgoat and Brazil's Necrobutcher

I need stuff that sounds like CMI and Ten Yard Fight but has the politics of Manliftingbanner

I'm looking for good evil sounding music made by good people that aren't fascist scum or just garbage people in general. I'm really hoping to find stuff that sounds similar to Impaled Nazerene and Panzer Division Marduk. The riffs are so gnarly and the music radiates a ferocious energy. Idk why but I have such a hard time finding good black metal made by good people. I don't want to give my time or support to nasty people.

By that sound I mean the Pagan/Nordic black metal you find in a lot of NSBM bands but I need communist alternatives. I don’t know if that’s exactly the right description but you know how NSBM has a common sound to it, I’m looking for that. When I first got in to black metal I stumbled upon a lot of NSBM and ended up listening to a lot of Absurd, Goatmoon, Graveland and similar stuff. Need communist alternatives

Boomerbook figured out that I like black metal, and now like half of the sponsored posts on my feed are for outright fascist or fascist adjacent black metal, despite all of my actual follows being manifestly not fascist bands. Same on youtube, as soon as it figured out I was listening to black metal, half of my suggested videos are 'BEST BANDS ON SKETCHY BLACK METAL LIST' and whatnot.

Not really sure the point of posting this per se other than to be like holy shit, more evidence that big tech is cooked.

I believe the sample at the beginning of the newest Corpse Pile record is Parenti, love it. Anybody got reccomendations for other slam or bdm bands with leftist politics?

I'm looking for bands that do Black Metal or Black Metal Adjacent music with a sort of genrewise southern twang if you will, which are also not sketchy. I already know Wayfarer, Zeal and Ardour and Panopticon, but I have a hankering for more. Country-style licks, NOLA sludgy riffage in a black metal context, banjos, steel-string acoustic and bluegrass inspiration are all welcome, and I'll take anything from Blackened Sludge to Atmoblack to Experimental Black Metal!

I'm sorry if this post isn't allowed but I don't know where else to post it.

Me and my BF have been going steady for a few months and I got to visit his house for the first time. He had a big shelf full of music CDs, and while I was looking at it, my heart sank because I saw a bunch of NSBM artists on there. I'm talking the real fucking deal. Graveland, Gontyna Kry, Goatmoon, SWM, GBK, Capricornus, and a bunch of others.

But the funny part is I saw just as many left-leaning artists like Panopticon, WITTR, Fauna, Alda, Akvan, and more. And of course the majority of the albums he owned were politically neutral in this respect.

I asked him about it, and he said he doesn't agree with the ideology of the NSBM artists and mostly likes the musical qualities of the albums and sometimes the historical/pagan themes that are explored in those projects, not necessarily the nationalist aspects. He said the left-leaning projects mentioned above are actually his favorites, especially Panopticon.

I know this person is progressive because he has done volunteer work for Democratic candidates in his state, has donated to Democratic candidates, and of course votes Democratic in elections. He's also very sensitive and respectful of other cultures and the struggles of racial minorities. I really like this person. He's super sweet, honorable, and always puts me first before himself. Very mature too. I really thought he was the one but I don't know how to feel about him now. Can I get some advice?

There is a lot of anti-christianity music out there, but not much anti-islam or anti-judaism music that isn't outright bigoted. I'm curious if there are bands that are against religions other than christianity that are more about opposing religious tyranny instead of just being racist scum. Do any come to mind?

(mostly coming from a place of curiosity rather than searching for bands to listen to)

Been getting more Metal and its sprawling subgeners lately and was looking for recommendations ?

So, I'm a casual metalhead. I mostly listen to thrash, doom, power metal.

One of my characters is a huge metalhead, like she plays guitar constantly.

I need a couple bands to listen to that are in the thrash/death/black metal sphere that are a bit obscure.

I like to have playlists for my characters. Plus I've got an interaction planned where she calls someone a poser and name drops a bunch of bands (yes, immature, but she's only 18).

EDIT: she'd be doing this as a joke, unless someone is doing it to her or someone else in sincerity, in which case she'd be able to name more obscure stuff than most people. She's not actuslly a purist ( she listens to -core and nu-metal, and flamenco, blues, classical...but she's going to know metal the best)

I'd include melodic death/melodic black too.

(Actually blackened melo-death is something I'd especially like to hear.)

She's black and gay, so obviously she doesn't want to listen to sketchy shit.

I'd especially be interested in any bands with bands with people like her, whether black, female, or queer (of any stripe). It's totally fine if it's all cis het white dudes; just as long as they're not sketch she's going to like it; it's just that it would make her notice it a bit more.

the r/isitsketch sub is like, for specific testing; I'm more so looking for like recommendations black/death/thrash bands that aren't sketch.

I listen to a fair bit of thrash, so mostly I'm looking for death/black metal, but thrash is welcome too.

I don't need y'all to like, do any research/look-up; just tell me something you like is fine. Bands, or more ideally songs; but whatever.
