Oddly enough I've been toying with making a thread for this hideously underrated German black metal outfit for years but never got round to it. Essentially psychedelic black metal of the highest order. Think Solstafir but more kvlt and less crappy vocals and you're onto a winner. Very unique sounding band due mostly to those clean, delay guitars (I think, not really up on my guitar effects) and they only have one full length which you should lap up like a thirsty kitten. I'll let Youtube clips do the talking.




More atmospheric than 95% of all "atmospheric" black metal released in the past few years.

Excellent band indeed, I think Turbanator posted a song on another thread... love the dragging guitars... and Sólstafir has no crappy vocals

Yeah it's an excellent band for sure. Are they psychedelic BM though? Thought they were more atmospheric than psychedelic.

Waiting for their next release. No idea when they're gonna do that. "Einblick In Den Qualenfall" is their only release apart from their self titled demo in 2005.

O_O

Very nice. Will check the full-length ASAP.

If you ask me they're totally psychedelic bm (especially considering stuff like Oranssi Pazuzu gets called that even though it's not that psychedelic). It's not wishy-washy enough to be called atmospheric bm in my opinion, those clean guitars working underneath the heavy but fuzzy-ness is totally trippy.

I really like Solstafir but the vocals are something that have never quite gelled with me. They're too abrasive for the music.

I give this a +1 too, there has been a lack of these bands for a while.

Yeah you have a point. I don't consider Pazuzu as psychedelic. The only one band that really defines "psychedelic" for me is Njiqahdda.

Solstafir's old stuff was excellent, especially Masterpiece of Bitterness. Bloodsoaked Velvet is one of my favorite song. Their new one is just mehhh. They are so inconsistent haha.
