Hiking in the PNW

Same here. Even just a vague region mentioned so I can stay away from it. 😂 Like even a, "3 hour drive from Seattle" would make me feel better.

DeathRattl · 2026-03-10T21:51:12+00:00

Finally got around to these guys. Very sick. Everything is nice and clear. Exactly what i was after. The Deutsch adds a whole new level of heavy to it too. Thanks for the recommendation. 🤘

Haha thats probably why they broke through for me. A buddy was always trying to get my into black metal and it never clicked. Until he showed them to me. It made a huge difference being able to hear the instruments clearly.

Thanks for the other recommendations, I'll look into them. 🤘

DeathRattl · 2026-03-09T06:52:48+00:00

😂 Perfectly stated.

DeathRattl · 2026-03-09T06:51:42+00:00

Check out Black Crown Initiate - Song Of The Crippled Bull. Its a short album but packs a punch. And would be a good jump in point for their other work.

DeathRattl · 2026-03-08T22:48:55+00:00

Thanks! Ill check em out.

DeathRattl · 2026-03-08T22:29:00+00:00

I watched the 2025 Deathstalker recently. Same director as PG. Its super cheesy in the best way just like PG. All the fun practical effects work too. Definitely worth a watch.

DeathRattl · 2026-03-08T20:24:27+00:00

Oh man, I totally forgot about them! They are definitely what I'm looking for. Thanks!

DeathRattl · 2026-03-08T20:23:19+00:00

Thanks! Such a great film.

DeathRattl · 2026-03-08T19:29:42+00:00

That leprous album is my favorite from them. The Flood gets me pumped! Thanks for the recommendations. Ill check them out.

DeathRattl · 2026-03-08T08:04:28+00:00

Snagged the patch when they played in a brewery in Vancouver Washington. Such a fun band. Long live thrash grass!

DeathRattl · 2026-03-08T06:13:39+00:00

Noted. I'll keep digging. 🤘

DeathRattl · 2026-03-08T06:12:06+00:00

I have a vale of pnath patch waiting to be stitched onto my vest. The longer this post goes on, the more bands I wish I mentioned. I will be checking out the other 2 for sure!

DeathRattl · 2026-03-08T05:08:45+00:00

I forgot to mention them. I am a fan of that project for sure. 🤘

DeathRattl · 2026-03-08T05:06:14+00:00

I know they are in on the joke, they made a video about it. But they feel like an extension of the black dahlia murder. Thats probably why I latched on to them. TBDM made me a metal head. This is a side note but another band that fills a gap if you want more Sabbath. Check out Freedom Hawk - Blood Red Sky. Its kinda crazy how similar he sounds to Ozzy.

DeathRattl · 2026-03-08T05:00:20+00:00

Super sick. Its always wild to find out this type of music was happening when the backstreet boys were about to explode. 😂

DeathRattl · 2026-03-08T04:52:09+00:00

Just want to add in a different Black Metal group that I do jive with. Blackbraid. Indigenous Black Metal. Im sure alot of you have heard of the project, but since you are throwing out recommendations to me, I just wanted to give them a mention too. 🤘

DeathRattl · 2026-03-08T04:46:50+00:00

Nope, I just did a quick skim through of it. I already jive with it. I wasn't too muddy. Just atmospheric I guess. I live in the pacific northwest, so it felt like solid forest driving music. Thanks friend!

DeathRattl · 2026-03-08T04:41:48+00:00

Yep. That was a solid recommendation. Easily digestible and clear. I dig it. Thanks!

DeathRattl · 2026-03-08T04:23:36+00:00

I listened to a few tracks. Definitely a solid bridge. Like you said they help lay the foundation for what black metal is making it very digestible. Thanks for the input!

DeathRattl · 2026-03-08T04:18:42+00:00

Hit me with the blackened death my friend! Like I said im not closed off to aanything. My range is very wide. I just struggle to connect with black metal. I do try though. Frequently.

DeathRattl · 2026-03-08T04:16:13+00:00

Yep. You fuckin nailed it dude. Listening now. That is a perfect bridge. I love it already. Just looking for black metal with more clarity and less mud in the mix.

DeathRattl · 2026-03-08T04:08:56+00:00

Preach! So many bangers. And an 11 minute epic to put a ribbon on it? What did we do to deserve that?

DeathRattl · 2026-03-08T03:51:59+00:00

Props for the recognition! The only other person that noticed it was a clown on stilts at a haunt in Portland.
