Abbath got moves
Saw Abbath for the first time last night. Was hoping I’d get a full on crab walk, but I’ll take whatever this lasso maneuver he’s got going on here. 10/10 would recommend seeing again.

Slow, heavy black'ish metal
Looking for slow black metal. Stuff bordering on sludge, doom, or funeral. Post black metal, or even ambient is fine.
Bonus if not all the songs are 9+ minutes long
Ultar, Xasthur, Bolt Thrower, Mephorash, Deadspace, Shores of Null, Old Forest, Grand Cadaver, In The Woods..., The Ruins of Beverast, Batushka, Absent In Body.

What's the most iconic black metal song?
A question that came to my mind. What do you think? Please be honest, songs that nobody heard of or hadn't have influence over other bands can't be iconic.

Looking for a song and just know the intro sample
Hi,
I am looking for a black metal song. The song had an intro of the German monthy python dub. It says "Nun sieh dir diese blöden Katholiken an, setzen scheiss Menschen in diese Scheiss Welt, die sie scheisse nochmal nicht satt machen können"
It was just the speech intro and than the song blasted like crazy. I can't find it and I had it on a sampler as a child I can't find. Song must be about 15-20 years old. Maybe someone can help me?

Does anyone else notice that Fallen Angel of Doom sounds weird on Spotify?
Like it seems they or Spotify updated their discography and I've noticed both Fallen Angel of Doom and Blood Upon The Altar sound updated but specifically FAOD sounds much weaker imo, it also sounds a lot more crude like the ending of Hording of Evil Vengeance cuts into Darkness Prevails.
