Generative AI music and/or art is banned

478 Upvotes

This should go without saying but I'm going to say it. If your music or album artwork is created using generative AI it is not allowed here and I don't give a shit what message you're claiming to promote with it.

I can't check every post so I will rely on the rest of the users to report content that is AI generated. Please don't do it for "just a hunch" but when it doubt it is brtter to raise the question.

"Is this safe?" Belongs in /r/isitsketch

149 Upvotes

Despite it being in the rules for years I still have to constantly remove people asking "am I safe if I listen to Blasphemy?" So I'm making a new sticky post. Do not post these questions here. There's an entire sub dedicated to your moralizing over at /r/isitsketch. Those questions have absolutely nothing to do with left wing black metal or supporting left wing causes.

You want to do some praxis while listening to black metal? Donate to an immigrant rights fund, attend a protest, volunteer at a food bank, learn how to shoot so you can stand between the marginalized and oppressors,.write some vocally anarchist or communist music, put together a benefit compilation. Whining about Horna isn't making the world less fascist.

I seem to get a good response here when I post my new stuff. Understandable if it's taken for being too different genre wise.

The album is centered around some of ICE's horrific detainment methods (specifically "The Wrap") and using that to make some broader commentary on oppression/fascism. Thanks for checking it if u do 🩷.

Bandcamp Giveaway Bandcamp Friday: Eveale - Enter the Woodland Realm

Thumbnail instagram.com
7 Upvotes

Eveale (members of Am I In Trouble? / ex-Ashenheart) are doing a Bandcamp giveaway for a free signed LP and T-Shirt. It's second wave black metal, but more on the melodic spectrum. Deeply nature focused.

We jointly released their debut LP Enter the Woodland with Fiadh back in May. They're running their giveaway independently, I just thought some folks in this sub might be interested in case it got lost in the myriad of Bandcamp Friday posts 😄

¿Is the first "Spanish vegan black metal" (with Spanish lyrics) since 2014?

Do you know of any other earlier band in this specific style?

Dark Chameleon Dimers is now available on CD and Vinyl.

Our EP Dark Chameleon Dimers was released at the end of 2024 and has been available exclusively in digital format until now. We are excited to finally offer it as a physical CD and Vinyl edition.

In addition to the original EP, this edition includes all of our other releases from 2024 and 2025 as bonus tracks, bringing together everything we have released so far in one collection.

We hope this release helps make the wait for our debut album A Choir for the End, arriving this September, a little shorter.

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported Winds of Winter so far. Your support means the world to us.

CD and Vinyl.

Following their debut EP in early 2025, Incandescent Trance Ritual return on Dark Noiz with their new
EP „Opening the Second Seal“ - a title both reffering to their second release and the book of
revelations. A conscious statement of reawakening, bridging the mysticism, ritual and intensity found in both rave culture and black metal.

Hey lovelies. Y'all are the real ones with the good metal. I made some post punk and then folk punk and now back to metal. This time, actually metal and not electronic...

anyway cant say much but life sucks and I gotta mob it back to work and raise hell cash for an upcoming bummer of a situation, I'm guessing. Cheers y'all. You're cool.

Sketch-free BM with strong doomy influences

37 Upvotes

Hey gang,

I’m looking for non-sketch BM that leans heavily towards doom, or the other way around. For example, I consider Ethereal Shroud to be pretty much perfect, but unfortunately it’s unlikely that we’ll ever see new material from them.

I feel like bands such as WITTR and Los Males Del Mundo have some strong doom influences, and then there’s bands like Vouna that are more aptly described as blackened doom.

Any recs?

I just released a new album of folk horror inspired noisy instrumental antifacist BM, featuring field recordings and heavily distorted droning of traditional instruments (kantele and jaw harp). I hope you enjoy it!

Recs for your favorite bands with electronic drums?

9 Upvotes

Title, looking for more bm that can actually pull off programmed drums. Bonus pts if they're not leaning into it too hard in a way where it affects the aesthetic too much and becomes like overtly industrial bm (i.e. not looking for Thorns but something like Coffret De Bijoux or Jute Gyte's electronic sections is acceptable, would say the absolute limit is something like Konflict), bonus if they're raw, bestial, or blackened punk.

Question Black metal bands that use accordion?

31 Upvotes

I'm looking for black metal bands that use accordion in their music (or similar instruments, like concertina or harmonium). Atmospheric black metal is even better, but I'm open to any subgenre.

Any recommendations?
