I know this is a common opinion. How do y'all keep up and weed through the avalanche of same-sounding bands/releases. In my own case after years of constant searching and acquiring new artists/albums I've found myself now only purchasing new Black metal by bands I already know (Immortal, Darkthrone, Drudkh, Tsjuder, Satanic Warmaster, Satyricon, Taake, Runs Of Beverast, etc... Perhaps the only "new" additions to my pantheon in the past 3 years are Spectral Wound, Deafheaven, Lamp Of Murmuur and MGLA. But I know I must be missing some gems. What is your process?

I absolutely love the mix

Give it up for the Grandfather.

I'm kinda digging GSR at the moment. here one of the good finds

If u know, please let me know

Why are the French (and Quebec) people so consitantly good in making Black Metal? I listen to lots of random black metal songs/albums on YouTube, and for some reason its always French albums/songs i save... and i don't do this on purpose cuz the lyrics is French...

I always thought they were cool, but live those atmospheric riffs are just a different level of peak

I’m the person behind Trve Sagacity, a one-man black metal project from Wales.

I’ve just released Follow the Hearses, an 8-track album built around Welsh history, folklore and catastrophe — including the 1880 Penygraig mining disaster, the Swansea Blitz, Gwrach y Rhibyn and Cŵn Annwn.

Musically it’s riff-driven old-school black metal with blackened thrash and traditional heavy-metal influence.

FFO: Darkthrone, Aura Noir, early Bathory, Celtic Frost.

I’ve put out a new video from one of the songs, you can view it here: https://youtu.be/sEQB3GR8Dbg?si=gDeszZs0LYeS7XuW

Would genuinely be interested to hear what people think
