I'm listening to a band from my province named Wold which are remarkably inaccessible. It's black metal that consists solely of guitars, keys, drums and shrieking, with pretty much every instrument pushed so far into the red that half of the reviews I've seen categorize it under "noise." Seriously, it's tonal white noise. What's bizarre is that occasionally it's reminiscent of an overdriven Ride or a corpsepaint-wearing My Bloody Valentine.

I recently got their 'Screech Owl' album and it is pretty sweet. ON the whole black metal point, I think Blut Aus Mord's new album is a pretty strange beast, just because it's so out of tune and what not. Sonically it's a lot easier to take then Wold, though.
Johnny C:
I listened to both Wold albums back-to-back last night.
It was kind of a punishing experience. Lesson learned: take black metal in smaller doses.

I'm having trouble with the new Sunn O))) album. And I love Sunn O))).
Caspian:
..there's a new Sunn O))) album out? :-o Or is this Oracle?
Just returning to black metal (and indeed, any inaccessible music) I definitely think loud volumes help foster an appreciation of the music (if not necessarily an enjoyment.) For me, loud volume was what turned me onto to early Ulver era and drone.
valley_parade:
Yeah, I meant Oracle.
