Entry 152 - Negura Bunget - Om
I love experimental music, I love how Deathspell Omega or Blut Aus Nord will take black metal and mix it with all different types of strange and twisted tones. I love how insane the sounds can get and inhuman the riffs can sound. It's not as good as Om.
I love atmospheric black metal. I love how dense Walknut makes their sound and how incredibly deep and complex the emotions are from Drudkh. It's not as good as Om.
I adore folk inspired black metal. I love how Primordial and Saor channel their ancestry into their music. I love how empassioned they are when they speak about the history of their countries. I love the traditional instruments that sometimes get worked into their songs. Despite all this... it's not as good as Om.
Om stands alone atop black metal releases for the past 20 years. Post the year 2000 this is likely the best black metal album I have heard.
The album effortlessly combines complex riffs, song structures, atmosphere, traditional instrumentation, deep emotionally moving moments, and pure chaos into an hour of music that has never been matched since.
Obviously this is one of the best albums in my collection. I only recently was able to get a copy of it on wax and when I held it in my hands a feeling of completion washed over me. I know that sounds incredibly pretentious and cheesy, but with this album in my collection the cubes are just that much closer to being finished.
