New Age music - Enigma

I know i listen to metal most of the time, but here, check out the stuff that I use to listen to when I was growing up. It is possibly some of the most spiritual music I have and will ever listen to, and I admit to listening to it every now and then. After all, it is quite captivating, lingering and beautiful.

Blut aus Nord - Ultima Thulée [1995]

What has been a most impressive album, at the very least, this is what could possibly be termed as 'transcendent black metal'. In other words, once you listen to this, you will forget that you ever existed to this Earth.

This was a worthwhile discovery and now one of my most influential bands of all time.

Genre: atmospheric/ ambient metal

primitively raw but beautiful and uplifting
their earliest work and my favourite BaN album


Blut aus Nord - Memoria Vetusta I: Fathers of the Icy Age [1997]

Blut aus Nord have transcended the realms of the average black metal album and diversified the musical scene with this avant-garde release. Combining elements of typical raw black metal vocals as well as enticing chants, buzzing riffs and occasional synth melodies to create this empowering atmospheric feel. When I listen to this, I feel like I am in a ancient cult dungeon, deep in the heart of the cold earth, surrounded by candles and men in robes. Not only does this album create an eerie depth, it also evokes this friendly nature and intricate beauty, which is compelling to anyone first sampling this band. As well as to anyone starting out with the black metal genre.
