Watain - Sworn To The Dark (2003)
Okay, yeah, I listen to black metal sometimes. This stuff is so great; Watain is a black metal group from Sweden. I wouldn't say their music is overly inaccessable, though. Growling vocals, pounding drums, sludgy guitars... The usual from the dark, wintry depths of Scandinavia. Sworn To The Dark is kind of like if black metal were so serious that it became kind of a joke, but it's so charming that you can't help but unironically like it. Their music is pretty intense, but it has an almost-rock feel to it that makes it feel not nearly as heavy as it should. This means that it isn't bad, unlike almost all other black metal.
So yeah, if you want to listen to something heavy, but aren't in the mood for something that'll give you a serious headache, this is where to go. Of all the black metal I have, this is the only cd I can really listen to without going crazy. It's great stuff, really. Plus, there's a song called Satan's Hunger. Fuck yeah, right?
