And is being attacked from all sides perpetually.

CLEARLY BURZUM WINS THE GENRE

BUT OTHERS ALSO MADE GREAT WORKS, ALTHOUGH RARELY BEYOND THREE ALBUMS

@Nester BARELY HOLDING TOGETHER = DRIVEN BY RHYTHM AND TECHNIQUE MORE THAN CONTENT

FITTING WITH ITS RELATIVELY RUSHED NATURE

But is something like Onward to Golgotha black metal?

Like the first 10 seconds of At the Stormy Gates of Mist

It's certainly closer than all of USBM.

Same with the first three Morbid Angel.

Like climbing up a mountain pathway and almost being overtaken by the wind

Snow up to knees, every step is taking everything out of you.

Change the vox and guitar tone and Show no Mercy is basically Enslaved

With the clear worship of influences with single note fills.

You're almost unconscious, aren't so as to your great will.

And proggish riff progressions.

EARLY ENSLAVED IS SOMEWHAT AMAZING

PROBLEM WAS YOUTH

VIKINGLGR VELDI IS GREATNESS

Internal struggle, internal tension.

EVEN IF SIMPLE SOMETIMES

The problem was rhuebnever got over imitating their influences.

They started at it.

Then went Manowar

@Nester I HEAR MOSTLY THE FEAR AND CONFUSION

And failed after the album with him on the throbe

ELD?

It's not an erratic feeling at all. It sounds like numbness induced from intensity.

I forgot the name. The only decent we wuz Vikings album.

Yeah

Eld

No bueno for intie?

A zombie like state

In the mgihtside eclipse is greatly

Let's do one

But terror still.

It's just the only thing

The terror of the situation, you yourself don't feel any.

That and the emperor/enslaved split

The demo is cool too but not as good

It'll drive up your traffic

White everywhere, slashing wind cutting you up, you're bloody everywhere, and extremely heavy
