it is not exactly my kind of blackmetal.

Do you go more for the early stuff?

Weakling is brilliant. I almost got a Dead as Dreams tattoo one night but my girlfriend wouldn't have it. 

 
edit: epic review btw

All Out War! Any fans? their first album "Truth in the Age of Lies" and their latest album "Into the Killing Fields" are just fantastic IMO. Although their other albums are good too.

Thanks. I seem to have a penchant for those...

Old classics are terrific too, but my love of life is pretty much in the burzum-school of blackmetal with long, repetive and layered harmonics, ambientic stuff. New or old doesnt matter. Weakling is more in the old Emperors direction IIRC. It has been a while since I heard the album though.

In general where do you all here about new/intriguing bands (other than this thread!)?

^ I actually think Amazon and AMG are great for recs since the former offers all of those "similar artists" links and Amazon will recommend (new) stuff based on you ratings of what you've bought.

Samael has posted a new track on their myspace page. It's pretty good, has retained some of the raw brutality of Above while getting back to their modern industrial style.

Usually Metalstorm. Concert reviews, staff picks, top 10 lists, stuff like that.

Dave, this is the first time I say to you....eek!  They are a confused bunch of souls.  I listend to AntiGod and Black Hole.  Both are kinda iffy.

They aren't for everybody. The early stuff is fairly mediocre black metal, then they switched to an industrial style on Passage and Exodus, two albums I like a lot. Then they went kinda euro-pop-rock for awhile. Black Hole is from Above, which was another departure, just raw aggression. The new stuff sounds a bit more like their Passage/Exodus sound.
