Out if curiosity I googled "Tanner Anderson" and thanks to that I found out about Obsequiae, man, where have I been all these years! Wow, that a masterpiece.
César Czischke so good that I bought their newest one three times
Haha, great, I already added them to my Wishlist on Discogs
Behold Tanner Anderson the mastermind behind two of my favorite metal albums this decade
Omg Tanner Anderson, one of the best musicians of 2010s extreme metal
And the most furious devourer of ice cream I have ever met.
Good shit... no surprise given that could be a blanket statement about anything you post. I think Tanner nailed it regarding challenging albums of our youth vs challenging albums now. If I had to come up with a list of three:
Neurosis "Souls at Zero"
Manes "Under Ein Blodraud Maane"
OLD "Lo Flux Tube"
Eric Bauer - right on! OLD was actually one of the bands I was going to talk about before we kind of spaced on a few picks. Killer to see you mention them and cool to see we're in good company here!
That Kataklysm was a great pick, and not too obvious either. I actually just talked about The Mystical Gate of Reincarnation some on my channel. I love how they kind of morphed the ferocity and technicality of bands like Suffocation or Monstrosity with the absolute feral bile of shit like Blasphemy or Demigod. It was so co-opted but simultaneously unique.
Eric Bauer Totally agreed with Under Ein Blodraud Maane. When I first heard it that album confused the shit out of me, but now it's one of my favorite black metal albums ever
Eric Bauer I was going to choose Souls At Zero but went with Enemy Of The Sun.
I had a cat that looked EXACTLY LIKE THAT!!!!!! His name was Louis, sadly he had a tumor and he's gone now.
Great video topic!
"Amateurish" and "A bad idea at the time" is what I go for when dig up old bands 9 times out of 10, haha.
Cool to hear you're really into Arcturus also. "Masquerade" is my no. 1 favourite album of all time.
La Masquerade is in the top 3 for me. Huge fan of Obsequiae, also. Can't wait for the new LP to show up.
Naked City-S/T
Emptiness-Nothing But The Whole
Confessor-Sour Times
Some real talent in that room. I love obsequiae!
👍🏻
Today Is The Day-Sadness Will Prevail
Paradise Lost-Draconian Times
Neurosis-Enemy Of The Sun
And
Tiamat-Wildhoney
Probably the most challenging album I can think of is In the Distance by Vediog Svaor. I was always so intrigued by it but couldn't get fully into it for the longest time, but now I fucking love it
To me it was Demilich - Nespithe.
oh yes. I still listened to it a bunch, and pretended that I "got' it. But lets be honest i probably didnt.
anything by deathspell omega, really. ive been able to get into really heavy obscure stuff like pyrrhon, swallowed, impetuous ritual etc. even if it took a lot of listens. but deathspell omega, no chance for me
Oh man, that Mordor "Csejthe" album immediately went on discogs wantlist. I like that idea you bring up of innovation vs amateurishness, and I can hear what you mean when listening to that album, and I think that is part of the draw for me.... I think one of most challenging albums for me, and it is still challenging me, is Midnight Odyssey's "Shards of Silver Fade". I know I like it, but the sheer overall size of the album (in terms of track lengths and the overall album length) makes it a difficult to really contextualize the album as one whole piece - though part of that is also that each song is a massive soundscape in itself..... Cool video idea... Thanks!
Orange tabby cats are the BEST
Summoning was challenging for me. I had to listen to them a few times before it clicked. Now they are one of my favorite bands.
arcturus "the sham mirrors" is another life-changing norwegian album
The debut is way More better
This was a rad idea for a video! I was trying to think of some other albums to add to the list but nothing's coming to mind. But great shit.
+Myke C-Town do it up in a video man! You can scrape one together I'm sure.
VBE are one of my favorite bands. i thought they were super original also, but when i listened to Dimension Hatross (Voivod) then i realised how influential to their sound that record was. i m not saying that as a negative thing but all those dissonant jazzy chords are influenced by Voivod
audiopain Funny, I worship VBE, but I can’t stand Voivod. I understand the influence on VBE, but I could just never get into Voivod. I just read that VBE actually performed last night or something! Holy shit I would kill to have been there! A one time reunion thing I am sure!
@@ViolentBlasphemy VBE performed???? Where??? surely its a one time thing. This band was unique,and unfortunately Virus isn't their successors as a lot of people think or want. Carheart was nice but nothing special.Now,about Voivod, i m not a huge fan,but reading an interview by Fenriz 15 years ago or more, talking about that one record (hatross) and how it impacted black metal i had to check. Trust me it;s great.
@@audiopain January 26th, 2019 I believe. Definitely a one off. I think some kind of party or something. There is a 20 second or so clip from someone's phone on Facebook. I loved Virus. Definitely not VBE, but a shame to hear they are now defunct as well. I know I need to go back, and check out some Voivod. I will start with Dimension Hatross.
Your profile pic says it all.
This probably sounds noobish and it's not really a metal album, but one of the most personally challenging albums I ever got into was The Mars Volta's Deloused in the Comatorium. Like you said though, once it clicked with me it really stayed with me.
It didn't even click all at once. I just slowly started finding myself liking different parts of the album. The last thing for me to finally fully embrace were the vocals. At first I really hated them, but after a while I found myself not minding them so much in one or two of the songs. By the end, I was a downright Mars Volta fanatic.
This was before I had ever listened to a metal album other than things like Master of Puppets
sirmeatwad you may be surprised but I love that album. I was even an At the Drive-in fan years before even hearing it. I instantly loved it though.
I am a little surprised actually lol but I'm glad you like it. I had never even heard of At the Drive-in when I listened to Deloused. At the time I was just listening to things like Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains. Modest Mouse was what I considered to be underground and experimental.
Once I got into it though all the other music I heard just sounded boring to me in comparison. It was a big milestone for me as far as getting into extreme music
Wold "Screech Owl".
for me i'll throw in supreme immortal art by Abigor, i think they were goin for a baroque era of classical meets black metal. could mention dso dont like much. most recent reward for effort listening to double cd Dodsengel imperator
Fun fact: The cover art of Written in Waters was done by Lise Myhre, the wife of Simen Hestnæs.
Where’d you get that Caladan Brood flag? I would love to have that
Did I miss something? Are we talking about albums that are hard to find or ones we feel are hard to listen to and grasp so to speak?
Really good video. But a little too much background noise.
ITS NOT SIMON doing the vocals on le masquerade!!! ITS GARM (kristoffer rygg) from "ULVER"
Actually it's both of them.
niklas2378 Simon still does backing vocals but also the lead vocals on Chaos Path which is arguably the best song on the album, partly cause of his amazing singing
I had the 'correct' cover version on cd, traded it in the late 90s--total dumbass---now I have the 'incorrect' cover version. It's a gem, so great, a lifetime treasure.
Pfffttt........Ebony Tears is great!!
written in waters is the best norwegian album ever released. its complicated in such a way that only the enlightened will understand its full meaning and potential... if you dont like/understand this album thats OK, but i feel pity for you...
yes, love it. Black Flux by Virus has some amazing riffage too.
Music is great but vocals suck
