Liturgy - Aesthetica (2011)


So I don't know what this is, but it's really intense shoegazey-jangly-noisy-evil black metal from Brooklyn. They describe themselves as "transcendental black metal". I don't know how I feel about that, but there are layers of post-rockish crescendos buried underneath waves of noise and blast beats and tortured screams. This shits on your views of what modern black metal can be. I love this.

listen.

This band is full of a bunch of pretentious douchebags that give "black metal" a bad name. Check out this interview for proof. 0/10 album...0/10 band.

I'm with Brett and myself on this one. Black metal Bill Hader is an awful abomination.
