Armanenschaft - Psychedelic Winter
Surprised this ain't here. Armanenschaft's a Finnish three-piece featuring Albert Witchfinder, who is best known for Reverend Bizarre. If you know Reverend Bizarre, it's pretty interesting, as Armanenschaft plays purposefully raw as hell black metal in the vein of Ildjarn and Akitsa.
This was very hard to come by for awhile, and might still be. Before I ever heard it I couldn't wait to buy it and listen. I stumbled upon an mp3 awhile ago and was very disappointed. Similarly, Hell's Headbangers found this and was selling it for something crazy like 30 bucks. Some months passed, it laid untouched and went down to 17 bucks. The shift in price mimics my feeling, as well as others i'm sure who were excited to hear the modern doom kings Reverend Bizarre had a member doing a super raw black metal band. I'm not saying it's bad, but this kinda purposeful super raw black metal that's basically a tribute to Ildjarn gets old fast with me.
Regardless, an interesting listen and some good stuff (especially the last track which happens to also have the best production).
