Tu loupes rien

Ah bah ça va alors !

Je viens de me souvenir que la mode autour de ce groupe aux membres qui se la jouaient super mystiques, super "true", hyper dangeureux du style il ne fallait pas leur parler sinon la bagarre et ils gagnaient, tout cela me saoulait pas mal à l'époque, chez Watain comme pour d'autres groupes de black... Faut dire certains fans du groupe n'aidaient pas à me faire apprécier le truc mais je connais pas mal de contacts qui s'y connaissent dans le style et qui aime bien Watain donc je me demandais si je ne devais pas tenter le truc

Un peu comme toi, le grand guignol autour du groupe m'a fait fuir au début mais j'ai quand-même fini par écouter leurs albums. Tu peux essayer Casus Luciferi peut-être...

[Cruchot jr]

J'ai beaucoup aimé les deux premiers albums sortis par Drakkar ; le troisième m'a ennuyé, j'ai lâché l'affaire.
Quant à Nuclear Blast, ils devraient arrêter de se prendre pour Midas...

Le seul que j'ai c'est "Sworn to the Dark". Faudrait que je réécoute avec mes oreilles de 2021, j'avais acheté ça suite à une bonne chronique dans Metallian probablement. Puis tout le bazar autour du groupe et quelques concerts pas passionnants m'ont complètement fait lâcher l'affaire.
Bon, le Black suédois c'est pas trop mon truc à la base (y'a que Marduk qui passe, et encore, pas tout...)

Un peu comme tout le monde – le cote ultra satan un peu clownesque a fait que je suis passé a coté de leur musique pendant un bon moment. De mémoire, la première fois que j’en ai entendu parler c’était une polémique ou ils avaient accepté de ne pas utiliser de sang d’animal pour une date (le Z7 en suisse peut-être ?) mais n’ont pas tenu leur promesse et ont ensuite menacé le staff de la salle quand ils se sont fait jetés. Chapeau

Depuis j’ai ecouté et j’aime bien, surtout la triplette Casus Luciferi, Sworn to the Dark et Lawless Darkness (par contre les deux suivants sont assez chiants) . C’est bien fait et c’est très accessible comme black metal mais bon si tu aimes ce style en particulier de black suédois, tu peux facilement trouver ton compte ailleurs, sans le côté risible.

J'ai écouté deux/trois albums et ça ne m'a pas empêché de dormir, en revanche en live ils sont redoutables, pour peu qu'ils sortent la grosse artillerie comme au Fall Of Summer 2014 !
Sinon, j'ai l'impression que c'est bien le genre de mecs qu'ils faut pas emmerder pour ce que j'ai pu en voir...

Notorious Swedish black metal collective, Watain, is proud to unleash "The Howling" - the first single from their upcoming new studio album, The Agony & Ecstasy Of Watain, which will be released on April 29.

"The Howling" sets the tone for what will be offered on the band's 7th full-length, an unsettling blackened voyage in 10 chapters that is as inexorably vicious as it is enticing.

E. Danielsson (vocals) states: "'The Howling' refers to the wordless voice of the wild, wailing eerily through the ages, urging us to leave our safe spaces and explore the dark recesses of the great Abyss both within and without. To see it, to learn from it, to know it. "

The single is available in both digital and physical form - a strictly limited 7'' with "The Howling" on its A-side and the Profanatica cover "I Arose" on its B-side can be bought as of today. The Black Vinyl is exclusively available through Nuclear Blast Mailorder, whereas the Oxblood colored version is being sold in the band's own shop. Act quick as these will be gone fast.

Le groupe annonce qu'il va sortir un dernier album puis splitter en 2028 pour ses 30 ans d'existence.

Swedish black metallers WATAIN have announced that their upcoming eighth studio album will be their final collection of new material.

Earlier today (Saturday, September 20),WATAIN released the following statement: "Ladies and gentlemen, followers, allies and supporters, this is a solemn transmission from the Temple of WATAIN.

"We hereby announce that in III years' time — upon our 30th anniversary — WATAIN's eighth and final full-length album will be released. The album will mark the closure of a thirty-year-long magical Work, the last crossroad of WATAIN, after which the band will cease to exist. The ending of a triad of decades during which we have shared our sacred path through this strange world with you, our loyal audience, on a steady course towards the beckoning darkness of The End.

"Over the course of the next three years, the reasons for this will be spoken of and accounted for. But for now we just want to say this: Have our songs and our art not always dealt with finitude and mortality, with DEATH and the beyond? Now it is time to claim our own conclusion, and shape it as we have shaped our stage and our songs, in the fires of will. Instead of being consumed by the jaws of time, or broken upon the wheel of circumstance, we choose to let WATAIN return, unbowed and undefeated, back into the primordial chaos that once gave it life.

"And so we stand on the threshold to our final chapter, and III years of Work remain. III liminal years in the borderlands between the living and the dead, during which new music will be written and shared, concerts will take place, and other things, that will be revealed in due time, will emanate, with the certainty of DEATH, from the Temple of WATAIN.

"Take this message not as a farewell, but as the first note of a sacrificial requiem, as well as your invitation to partake in shaping these last years into something beyond compare.

"Praise be to the Devilgod by whom our path is blessed,
and upon whose altar we now place this our humble offering.

"To the DEATH and far beyond!"
